"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 18 Sep 2013
"We had not read good reviews of Okaukuejo, and so were pleasantly surprised. The waterhole was close to our room, and well worth the several visits we made.

It was easy to visit waterholes in the Park, and we enjoyed the swimming pool and restaurant.

The staff were very helpful." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 17 Sep 2013
"Really good experience - significantly exceeded our expectation.

Staff friendly and efficient. Waterhole lived up to billing (and human behaviour around it much better than we'd expected from some previous comments).

Dining experience remarkably good given the size of the place." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Nothing can beat the waterhole here. It is worth a stay in camp for that alone, especially at night.

Shame that they don't do more to keep the jackals out of the place." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 13 Sep 2013
"This is a bit utilitarian but the floodlit waterhole is an absolute wonder. We made the mistake of going on a night safari trip - don't do it - it is expensive you see nothing - the driver just waves a red torch around the blackness. All this time you could be at the waterhole.

Also we wished we had just got up early in the morning and gone down there before breakfast as well" See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Uprgrade made all the difference"

2 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2013
"Because Saskia put on our reservation that we were Keen Photographers we were offered an upgrade after a cancellation to a room facing the water hole. Amazing. I guess I had not had it pommelled into my head that this was the best of the best of the best waterholes and to spend time at night here at the waterhole.

I had not figured out the game are cold in morning and no around until 10 or 11 in the morning and the absolute best use of my time was to stay up and watch the watering hole. Instead I would peak at it as I passed by and then run to my room to go to sleep because I had to be up early. MISTAKE. My biggest regret of the whole trip. What I did see was magical.

Guy was sick here so I did spend plenty of time at this very nice watering hole during the day. This was one of the best watering holes we saw on the hole trip. Don't waste it! I think our room had a little rodent or something bigger than a lizard...but a refrigerator took care of my food worries. The room otherwise was great. I missed a blow dryer. The meals were excellent.

I had heard that rooms on the water hole were bothered by all the noise of the tourists. Nothing could be further from the truth. Everyone was Church quiet at the watering holes." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Wonderful camp!"

2 nights Arrived 29 Aug 2013
"This camp can't be beat for location within the Park. The grounds are pleasant, the rooms very comfortable, the waterhole great for viewing wildlife and a good location for going either east or west within the park. It is a large camp so interaction with staff was minimal, but people seemed friendly and helpful.

I thought the food was just average and it was expensive. We had a large group and our server was not very good at keeping track of our extras. As a result mistakes were made, not in our favor. Management might want to look at a more efficient method for larger groups." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 9n in Botswana
