"beautiful facility"
"Great waterhole at Okaukuejo"
The food was buffet style and not the best compared to other camps we visited. However the camp is well located inside Estosha on the east side where there are many waterholes to visit and wildlife to view.
There is a waterhole at the camp which is floodlit at night which is great and we saw various wildlife there including elephant, rhino (5), giraffe and an owl." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
We enjoyed being at the water hole and being able to get out and drive through the park.
We knew what to expect so none of it was a surprise." See all these reviews: 14n in Botswana; 12n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
However, this was largely made up for by the fabulous watering hole, where many hours were spent watching the elephants, rhinos, zebra etc" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
We also drove to several other watering holes and enjoyed seeing the area. Our room was nice but felt a bit small and the air conditioner didn't work well.
The staff was very nice and did offer to change our room but at that point we chose to stay put." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo/Etosha was fantastic!"
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
"A comfortable nights stop"
The restaurant is ok but not brilliant and as usual most of the staff are just doing their job." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"
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
