Nice stay at River crossing
Nice place to stay as a stopover on the way to airport. Everything was good but nothing really stands out (wouldn't suggest using it as a base for windhoek, just for the airport).
Food very nice (which was good because we didn't want to brave the track in the dark to get back into town).
Relaxing start after a long flight
We only spent an afternoon at this lodge. Located about 5-min from the city, it has a nice view of a nearby mountain range.
It's a nice transition from a long trip onto a safari. Good food and welcoming staff.
The room is clean and nice, though a bit cold especially in the bathroom area.
River Crossing review
We visited end July 2015 and stayed 1 night before heading home (as well as 1 night at the beginning of the holiday).
We stayed at River Crossing for the last night of our trip to Namibia having driven from Bullsport, after doing the excellent Quiver Tree trail. As with the first visit on the first night of our trip, River Crossing was comfortable with good service, great food and there was a beautiful sunset.
A perfect first night.
Very good staff.
Funny, friendly waitresses and good to talk to owner who provided a very useful tip re lost luggage (bags lost by BA) and sold us the idea of a holiday on horseback!
Ideal for relaxing after the journey
We receive a warm welcome from the staff who did all they could to make our brief stay comfortable.
Excellent views from the rooms and surrounding countryside good for bird life.
1st and last stop at River Crossing
We stayed mid July 2015 for 1 night at the beginning and one night at the end of our holiday.
River Crossing Is an easy 20 min drive from the airport, and close to Windhoek and easy to find just off the main road.
The lodges were fine, with a lovely view out over the mountains and sunsets over Windhoek. The food was good and the coffee machine made the best hot chocolate of our trip (according to our 14 year old connoisseur!).
On our 1st night is was very cold, but the lodges had air conditioning which provided heat as well.
Great safari and wonderful place
River Crossing was a great lodge.
The common areas and rooms were well-appointed, with lots of charm and character. The staff were all wonderful and a pleasure to interact with. We loved the safari drive and saw a ton of animals including a herd of giraffes really up close. Great surroundings, and fantastic views from the pool deck and the rooms, and an easy drive into Windhoek.
The "driveway" from the main road to the lodge is long and in really bad shape. Not a lot to do in terms of activities, other than the safari, and horseback riding. I was hoping for hiking trails, but a staff person we asked said all we could do was the walk down to the stables. However, it's a perfect place to relax and spend some time in a wonderful setting.

River Crossing review
As ever, the best thing about River Crossing was the staff.
The rest was a disappointment but the location was good in view of getting to the airport and you're still looking out over the bush. The photos on their web site are flattering.
River Crossing review
Good for a stop over after the flight.
We did not want to go into Windhoek so this was ideal , plus easy to get to from the airport
We arrived around 2.00pm
We enjoyed the gardens.
Very nice staff. Excellent evening meal and breakfast. Unfortunately air con not working in our room although we were told about it and they were trying to fix it. On reflection we should have asked for another room. Would happily use it again.
