"Okaukuejo Camp review"
In terms of wildlife Etosha was a bit disappointing this trip. Based on previous trips we had expected to see a bit more. Not only the spectacular animals, but even general game seemed to be hiding a bit. We had quite a few drives where we drove from one empty waterhole to the next empty waterhole. The only waterhole that seemed to consistently deliver was the one in camp!
Services and food in the camp was never really a highlight here, but seems to have gotten a bit worse. We used to like the kiosk where you could get a quick sandwhich for lunch, but that has closed. Also dinner is no longer a buffet, but rather a very limited menu. On our first night it was quite busy and we ended up with pretty much cold food, when we were finally served."

The waterhole and the location in Etosha is the reason for staying here. Saw elephants, black rhino, hyena and plenty of game at the waterhole. Sit for a while in the evening and you’ll see plenty of wildlife." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

The location inside the park and with an adjacent, lighted waterhole are big attractions for this camp as a place to settle for the night." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

Breakfast was chaotic, and this is the only place we decided to cook our own dinner.
They also ran out of diesel, which necessitated a detour to fill up.
Despite all this, we enjoyed the stay." See all these reviews: 30n in Namibia

It’s a mixed bag - the rooms are very basic but clean and the food is simple with a limited selection but we found it to be very good and with nice service.
One surprise was the bats living in our room which gave us quite a shock - luckily we had substantial mosquito nets which also work well on bats.
The pool was most welcome as it was very hot but you can see that the camp is underfunded by the lack of things like pool loungers and umbrellas (shade was at a premium).
The waterhole is fascinating and we did see rhino several times which was a treat." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

Still the location in Etosha was great so I would recommend staying in the chalets but would bring my own food. Also wifi was erratic making paying other than with cash difficult. (Using credit cards was easy everywhere else including all gas stations.)
We really enjoyed seeing Etosha in the rainy season. My son is very interested in reptiles and amphibians which abound during this time of year. I loved seeing all the babies. We watched a baby impala examine a millipede. Its reaction when the millipede was priceless.
We also got remarkably close to rhino and giraffe.
There were very few people in the park but the people there were very eager to share siting information." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa
