"Okaukuejo/Etosha was fantastic!"

3 nights Arrived 17 Apr 2012
"The welcoming was very good, the woman at the check-in counter had a good sense of humour. I was stunned. And had a good laugh.

Our room was good/very good.

And the overall experience of our stay was nearly overwhelming, mostly because of the good behaviour of all those animals. We like to return someday." See all these reviews: 5n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 10 Jan 2012
"This is our second visit. Not much has changed, the room we had was excellent, very roomy and super bathroom. Staff in the restaurant can be a bit off-hand. I mean, really, when the place is half full is it too much to ask to have a table for four at dinner instead of the two tables booked separately! Breakfast could be a bit more imaginative. If you arrive after all the muffins are gone that's it, no more are served and you have to put up with only brown bread. They seem to try to cater for just the number of people meaning that a choice of eggs in not always available because they have scrambled them all. I think this is typical of civil servants. Check out was much faster than before and the credit card worked very quickly. We did not participate in any of the activities as we were happy to drive ourselves."

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 23 Nov 2011
"Overall we had a decent time at Okaukeujo.

Our first room - a waterhole chalet was surprisingly good - comfortable and clean, a nice place to stay. The floodlit waterhole is the real star of the show. Watching 3 black rhinos frolic around in and around the water in the dark was brilliant!

The staff were mixed. Most were fine however the restaurant manager and some of the staff there were uninterested and frankly rude. They are clearly understaffed and pretty low on morale I guess. The food was ok, but not as good as Dolomite, and was self service. Breakfast was fine, dinner was average, and again was the NWR standard $170.

Our second room, was a standard room which was a bit shabby and had mouse droppings on the kitchen surfaces and floor which was not great. But on the whole was ok. I think we had been spoilt by the previous places we stayed in !" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 2 Nov 2011
"Obviously older, plainer and lacking the style of other camp [Ed: Dolomite Point!], this camp nonetheless had all you could wish for. The air conditioning allowed a good nights sleep!

The buffet style meals were excellent and nearest to more "authentic food" than any where." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

1 night Arrived 1 Nov 2011
"We chose to stay at Okaukuejo Camp, so that we could break our journey as we drove across Etosha from west (Dolomite) to east (Mushara). Without a doubt the best waterhole on our drive from Dolomite was Ozonjuitji m'Bari where a huge number of different animals were gathered including a large herd of elephants.

Our room was comfortable, but with a weak shower. Meals were OK, but a bit chaotic due to the large number of guests and the buffet format. Check in/out was very efficient. We didn't spend a lot of time at the waterhole, but did see elephants and rhino in the evening after dinner.

All in all our stay was in line with expectations." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia

"Great waterhole"

2 nights Arrived 27 Oct 2011
"A very busy camp. The room was the most basic of the trip but the beds were very comfortable. The waterhole was the highlight as there was always something to see. Staying in the park meant that is was possible to visit the waterhole at any time during the day or night and that would not have been an option if we had stayed outside the park.

Meals were fine but there was a need to book a table at reception earlier in the day.

We drove ourselves on safari and were delighetd with how much game we saw. Easy roads and well marked." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia
