Onguma Tented Camp
"Onguma Tented Camp review"
Our game drive to Etosha was a little lackluster, perhaps it was the wet weather and we got the impression the driver didn't want to travel very far.
However our Sun-downer drive within the grounds was very pleasant. We had some beautiful sightings of giraffe."

Etosha Oberland Lodge
"Etosha Oberland Lodge review"
A swimming pool you could swim which was chilly but not too cold. The location to the park meant it was easy to self drive into Etosha. We had a lovely sighting at the waterhole which was great for this time of year. We were able to watch Impala out of our bedroom window.
The food was 5 star!"

Hobatere Lodge
"Hobatere Lodge review"
The road from the entrance to exit is long and bumpy our two wheel drive did get stuck in a river bed and we had to be towed out, to be fair had it not been raining in the night this probably would have been okay. I would recommend 4 wheel drive cars or someone from the lodge following you, which they did after our incident.
We did a night game drive and saw an owl, hares and a wonderful chameleon, the stars were amazing as well as different deer.
The sunsets are amazing here!
On our way back in to the lodge in the evening we also had a wonderful sighting of 4 elephants playing in the dust.
Once you get onto the road it is easy to reach Galton Gate."

Grootberg Lodge
"Grootberg Lodge review"
While we did not see a huge amount of game we saw lions, vultures, herds of zebra and an African wild cat on the drive to the lodge, we went through Etosha.
I went Rhino tracking it was too bumpy for my husbands bad back, it was a fantastic day and I was rewarded with a Black Rhino sighting, the scenery was stunning too.
My husband stayed and relaxed by the pool and had a massage."

"Doro Nawas review"
The views here are stunning! The sunsets and sunrises amazing! We went on a game drive to find the desert adapted elephants and when we found them we spent over an hour watching a herd of 14 elephants. Our driver was very knowledgeable, not just about the elephants but all the wildlife.
The food was lovely!"

Okonjima Plains Camp
"Okonjima Plains Camp review"
The rooms are beautiful and the staff are really friendly.
The game driver who took us for our Leopard tracking, then took us to the information centre and cheetah the next day followed by a night drive which was fabulous and ending in a morning game drive. He was full of information and had a real passion for the foundation. It is good to know that some of the money spent goes to help the foundation in the future. Things cost a little more here but the sightings are wonderful and nothing is rushed.
It also has a wonderful gift shop."
