"Okaukuejo Camp review"
The tourist shop didn't know what a VAT receipt was and I was unable to claim a refund of N$107.41upon my departure." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
Having stayed at three NWR camps for four nights in total, it is clear that the catering follows a formula, but was all of good quality and more than acceptable.
We only stayed one night and did not take the organised game drive, though this might have enabled us to see the lions which we only heard otherwise." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

The idea of driving ourselves on safari was novel but enjoyable. Tough to make a call which waterholes to go to though.
Our expectations of the accommodation and food weren't high, however, we were pleasantly surprised." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
It was a very different safari experience to the private game reserves but we really enjoyed having freedom to do our own thing and managed to see a lot of wildlife. The floodlit watering hole beside the camp was excellent for night time viewing. Before we went we worried that it might seem a bit like a stage show but the lighting was well done and it felt like you really were watching the animals in their natural environment.
There were organised game drives on offer but we did not take part in any of these - it is so easy to drive around yourself. The park is also very well set up and we could drive for long periods of time without seeing any other cars even though the camps were pretty full." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 6n in Zambia

"Great water hole"
"Fabulous Waterhole"
Although the double room was more than adequate we would recommend asking for a waterhole chalet, not only for comfort but for ease of access to the waterhole.The restaurant is perfectly adequate and the swimming pool amongst the best." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Okaukuejo Camp review"
The restaurant was fine: food was good and staff were helpful and efficient.
Our premier waterhole lodge was out of this world, with a balcony view straight down onto the waterhole. It was an extra expense but wow, it was wonderful.
Checking in was a bit tedious - fortunately Expert Africa's advice had prepared us for this, and the staff were generally cheerful and helpful." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 2n in South Africa
