A relatively large but very convenient lodge situated just outside the Etosha National Park. We stayed for a night before heading into the park for a few days. The lodge is popular with larger groups and can feel a little impersonal as a result. However, it is well set up and the staff are very friendly.

The bathroom (shower area) has no doors or curtains and the setup was not convenient. We will not visit the lodge again just because of that.

The food was great, the staff was very friendly, the location with respect to the distance from Etosha park was very convenient.

The WiFi access was very bad and the air conditioner in my room wasn’t cooling enough.

The room was functional and comfortable. The staff were super attentive and friendly

The bushes in front of the balcony terrace could be lower to have even better view from the room.

High pricing. We’ve slept in much better accommodations in Namibia that were lower priced.

Nice view, friendly staff

One of the staff members was quite rude to us when she messed up our drink order. That wasn't a huge deal, but upon check out, we had more staff issues as they were very disorganized and didn't split up our food/drink bills by room (we were traveling in a group and stayed in three different rooms), and we ended up getting overcharged and had to go through a process to get our money back (which we did end up getting back). So just a word of warning to pay attention to your bill.

A wonderful place for your safari stay! The rooms were very comfy, clean, and cute and the restaurant / lodge area has amazing nature views.

we had some issue when we book through booking.com I indicated we were 2 adults and 2 kids and their ages. the site recommended us to book and pay for two rooms which we did. when we arrived they gave us a family room and a single room. then we realized they we paid a lot for another room that was not required since the family room was enough for 4 persons it had enough space and beds. we talked to the hotel manager but he said since we did the booking via booking.com they could not do any cancellation of the second room and that we should complain to booking site. then they told us that booking had a no refund policy. i will place the claim to booking to check that can be done.

Place is great. Facilities are clean and nice close to entrance to Etosha. the safari was excellent and food is great.

Expected the place to have a tv in the room and a mini refrigerator.

The location is spectacular and the staff were very helpful and exceptional. Loved the view and the facilities.

For tour operators, too many group people, rushed on buffets

View, comfort, pool

Wifi doesn't extend to the rooms or even the pool, and even at the reception, it's practically unusable, pretty disappointing considering the price and that other hotels around the region still manage to have it functioning. Rooms require a walk up a hill to get to the restaurant/reception area.

First Gondwana hotel experience. Buffet was very nice for dinner and breakfast. Multiple pools on the property depending on where your room is, we were closer to the reception so we used the main one which had a nice view. Nice location just ten minutes from the Anderson Gate to Etosha Park.

Basically no wifi, merely a very weak signal at reception. Did a game drives for 5 hours and saw a sleeping pair of lions. Apparently not a lot of animals on that CC side of park. Only hours of driving along gravel roads. Food was buffet style and definitely catered to the meat eaters. Perfect hotel for a big tour bus group. Not for individual travels, did not enjoy the busy-ness.

Rooms were spacious and clean.

The waterhole had no water. Yes there has been droughts but yet the property had 2 swimming pools poorly utilized. We had been in Namibia a month and had done some amazing safaris. This wasn’t one of them. Despite being in Etosha, the route we took wasn’t frequented by many animals. Other safaris set up coffee and morning snacks at the midway point which was an excellent way to meet fellow travellers. This guided excursion didn’t. We cancelled the safari we had booked the following day.

Rooms were large, clean and comfortable with a small deck. Main lodge was nice with large deck, great for sunsets. Food was good and location excellent.

Food not top notch for this level of accommodation. Should have golf cart rides to the rooms.

The Lodge is a few km outside Etosha reserve, so game drives are just a few minutes extra, but worth it. We were lucky to be allocated a family room so it was very spacious. We enjoyed evening sunsets with a cocktail in hand. Our game ranger our very knowledgeable and engaging.

It is outside the park (as are all the privately owned lodges). We knew this when we booked and it is close to the gate so only a minor downside.

Lovely rooms and bar area. Buffet was great too and staff were friendly and helpful.

The location was perfect - really close to Etosha National Park, and with a fabulous view over the surrounding landscape. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The beds were something unconfortable.

The location was excellent, near to the Anderson Gate in Etosha National Park. The facilities meet our expectation and the personal was very friendly and professional.

No fridge in room, that little bit more expensive than other lodges.

I stayed for 2 nights with my 5 year old. It is a larger lodge than Toshari, the chalets were really nice - very private, food selection (buffet) was plentiful and tasty, and we did a breathtaking evening game drive from here. The sundowner deck is just fabulous, and I felt that the way dinner was served out on the deck with twinkling lights was really quite romantic. Our highlight was (by extremely good luck as we were unaware of the concert before we arrived) seeing the German opera stars sing on the deck, across Etosha and with in the background and the sun setting. It was absolutely magical.
