"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 29 May 2015
"Our chalet by the water hole was amazing! We had easy access to watch the animals at any time of the day or night.

The food provided was not up to the high standard that we had experienced at the other lodges. They were serving many more people and the food was adequate but not exciting." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Okaukuejo was better than expected"

2 nights Arrived 22 May 2015
"Stayed here for the waterhole and was not disappointed. 8 rhinos at one time and a family of 25-30 elephants as well. Everyone was really quiet and it was not the stadium atmosphere I expected.

The food was decent but there was one chef there who made a point of making steaks separate without the seasoning for my wife so she could eat them, I found most staff there to be quite helpful.

One word of warning, we had our hubcaps stolen here so I would advise taking them off." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 8n in Zambia

"Wonderful floodlit waterhole"

2 nights Arrived 20 May 2015
"The higlight is obviously the floodlit waterhole, it was wonderful to be able to see this just a few meters from the door of our room.

A great place from which to visit many other waterholes and see a wide variety of wildlife." See all these reviews: 25n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana

Bush chalet was comfortable. Food good. Interesting game at the waterhole in the camp and at others nearby." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp"

2 nights Arrived 3 May 2015
"Okaukuejo Camp is too overbuilt - too many people, buildings, etc. However, I'm so glad we stayed there.

Our cabin was a five minute walk from the famous watering hole. We spent a lot of time there at all hours of the day , from sunrise to after sunset. We saw a great variety of animals coming down to the hole for a drink, It's a magical place and I highly recommend it despite the crowds and mediocre food." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Mediocre accomodation, good waterhole"

1 night Arrived 13 Apr 2015
"Accommodation a bit run down, and not everything worked (toilet not flushing, electrical sockets with no power, etc.) Our family was split into 2 lodges at opposite ends of the camp, but the larger room would have been fine for all of us, if they'd just added a camp bed or mattress.

That said, we enjoyed the large swimming pool after a long dusty day, reasonable food, and above all the waterhole is a big draw - the only place you get to see the action safely at night." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

1 night Arrived 25 Feb 2015
"Only here for one night.

Room very nice. Very clean. Fridge not really working but it was so hot I wonder if it ever gets down to temp!
Food was a buffet which suited us fine. Not great cooking but nothing to complain about.
Paid for food by credit card. Would stay here again." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 23 Feb 2015
"Our sixth visit to Okaukuejo and the water hole never lets you down with a constant stream of animals visiting. This time plenty of Rhino and Elephants . The room was airconditioned and clean near the waterhole ideal. Dinner was an acceptable buffet , but for a $180 Namibian dollars per person it would be churlish to complain.

General game viewing was good , lions , hyena , jackals , bat eared foxes , plus all the usual herbivores" See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 6n in Namibia
