"too busy place with great water hole"

1 night Arrived 9 Oct 2019
"Camp really not attractive because continuing stream of vehicles and visitors. Too busy to be comfortable for anyone.

Catering facilies were really awful, chaotic and lack of choice re food. Deposit at arrival purely symbolic, as no one checks cabin at departure. one of the best water holes directly bordering the camp.for one night of the stay but better to have visited for the day rather than stayed, didnt compensate for rest of negative experiences."

The rooms were very clean and practical and you can walk to a waterhole 24 hours of the day and have great wildlife sightings what isn't there to like." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 28 Sep 2019
"Improved considerably since we were last there in 2013 especially the pool and dining area.

Elephant and rhino sitings in the waterhole and nearby in Etosha were the highlight. Might be a good idea to give future clients the choice of where to stay there with the different room types and prices as we were a long way from the waterhole in what could have been a noisy location."

"Okaukuejo Camp review"

1 night Arrived 14 Sep 2019
"This was by far the most "touristy" place we stayed at. But we were very glad to have spend just one night here, for the waterhole.

The Water Chalets were pretty comfortable and the food was better than we'd expected.
And the animal sightings were great." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Great Location with excellent Water Hole"

2 nights Arrived 8 Sep 2019
"A great camp to be at for Game Viewing.

However, this is a government run facility and it needs a makeover. The rooms were adequate and had kettle and fridge. However, our kettle was broken and despite reporting it 3 times in 2 days, never got repaired/replaced. Beds were comfortable. You could park outside the room.

The meals here were good and catered well for our needs.

We went on an afternoon game drive and saw a Cheetah as well as many other animals stated below. We also drove ourselves around the park, which was quite easy to do. Just buy a map from the shop to help you around." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
