    Loved everything! Staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful! It was my son's birthday and they gave him a dessert and a small bottle of sparkling wine which was really nice. Breakfast was amazing! We even bought some souvenirs which was reasonably priced. Proud to be a Namibian with a lodge like Okapuka!

    I wish they could replace the tiles in the bathroom where they drilled the holes in the wrong place. This is def not bad, but I do miss the original bar. We got married in 2000 at Okapuka and it was the first time we visited again. I know it was, maybe, just time for a revamp.

    The lodge is spacious with a nice terrace outside the restaurant overlooking a pond and grass field with nice bird life and even regular visits by ostrich. The food was good and the staff were all amazing. The room in my bungalow was spacious and beautifully designed. The place has its own wildlife farm and organize 2 hour safaris four times a day - you will see lots of antelope (springbok, sable antelope, impala, oryx) giraffe, zebra, ostrich and even rhinos.

    Great accommodation close to Windhoek, which helps if your flight does not allow you to easily get either to or from your destination in Namibia

    You only have access to a small portion of the reserve, the rest is only accessible by the owner and the owner’s guests. This should be stated on the website and it is misleading

    Sunrise Game Drive was spectacular. Rooms are beautiful. I enjoyed the meals. Staff very friendly and supportive. Everything was perfect! Will come back again!

    You live in nature, so expect some wildlife in your room.

    This is a place of dreams! From the welcome we received, the sunrise safari, the lodge, the views, the location, everything was perfect. The team were so friendly and couldn’t do enough. The resident ostrich was fab!

    That we didn’t stay longer.

    Convienent location for a stop between Sossusvlei and waterberg/etosha. Beautifuly renovated property with a spectacular dining/bar area. Excellent food and friendly staff

    The food was great, a variety of selections, lots of different offerings, all delicious. Love the seating and patio views.

    Would have enjoyed some cocktail offerings. The precise Gondwana collection we stayed at had a menu we enjoyed.

    So near Windhoek and yet a great out of town feel. It’s peaceful

    Towels need to be white so that it’s easy to see cleanliness. The orientation to breakfast could have been better - indication of what can be ordered. Staff can pay more attention at bar - replenishing drinks. Wine offering is okay but can be improved.

    Location is okay. Game drive was not bad. Nice ranger.

    Food restaurant was not good. Service can be much better. Rooms and espacially the bathroom can use a serieus upgrade. Everything looked old..
