    The campsites are to close and noisy neighbours can be very disruptive

    The staff was very polite and the location is incredible

    Since it's so good it gets very very busy, but not noisy, of course depending of the neighbors.

    This place is not a campsite, it's an outdoor lodge. Helpful staff, and by far the fanciest place to camp in. Private bathroom with hot shower, sink for laundry, sink for dishes, sink for the bathroom. Lights everywhere, hose for water and so on. Good place to stop and rest without being bothered about the lion or elephant walking near you.

    the food at the restaurant could be a bit better.

    my all time favorite campsite in namibia! i wish i stayed longer. the campsite itself is beautiful and secluded, the bathroom is fully indoors, which is great during colder months. the pool area is nice, and the restaurant with a view of a watering hole is so cool! it’s a great spot for a drink with a view. the service was impeccable.

    We really liked this camp. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. What we especially appreciated was having our own bathroom! The camp was very nice and quiet—perfect for starting our safari in Etosha.

    Nothing.

    This was one of the best campsites we stayed in in Namibia. Beautiful plot surrounded on 3 sides by trees so not on top of neighbours. Clean ensuite facilities with toilet separate from shower - much appreciated! Also nice amount of counter space in the bathroom and cooking/sink area. Main building overlooks a lovely waterhole with game and birds. We had a lovely breakfast here. Very peaceful place perfectly situated just outside Namutoni Gate to Etosha.

    Camping in the Bush with next a Lodge linked to glam campsite just a 2 min walk was very special - gave us the feeling of a Lux Safari stay & bar, dinner for our last night outside the North Etosha . Slept under the stars in our roof tents next to our fire after a fab dinner looking out to a small water hole . Will come again !!

    Fabulous camps sites & Lodge on a private reserve just outside the entrance of Namutoni Gate - North East Etosha . Had our own Lux 4x4 camp site - shower / toilet & hot water prep & wash sinks & Lux Lodge Bar & Restuarant.

    Good camp site with firewood delivered to your site and a well set up BBQ area. Easy walk from reception, shop, bar, restaurant to sites. Loved the morning safari, great guide, we saw loads, included hot blankets, ponchos, good hot drinks and snacks while out. Excellent.

    My favourite campsite from the Namibia trip. Charming restaurant overlooking the waterhole. Giraffe came in as we had drinks. Gracious and lovely staff, particularly in the bar and restaurant. Large pitches with your own bathroom and washing up facilities. Pool is clean and relaxing. Loved the cheeky mongoose running around (but they climb into your things if you leave them out!). We went on the sunset game drive and saw lion twice. We enjoyed it so much that we stayed another night.

    Great campsite with good, clean facilities with privacy. Restaurant is nice with a nice view to a waterhole. Pool is nice with many mongoose roaming around. Price is on a high end for campsite but you get god return for it. Activities are also on the expensive side but good chances to see many animals, we saw lions, cheetah, white rhinos, giraffes, kudu, oryx, zebra, impala, warthogs etc.

    Nothing, really, nothing I don't like. If I am back to the area again, this is the place I am going to be again!

    The location was excellent, it's practically right outside of the Etosha NP. The camp site was excellent. As the matter of fact, I travel around the world and camping frequently and this is the best camp site I have ever experienced. No question asked. It has a kitchen area, a separate shower room and a separate toilet room. And I mean these are all rooms, not exposed to the open area! The entire camp site was a closed area by dense bushes and no one could peek in and you have whole privacy! The staff was so nice, he even helped me to move my food from kitchen area into the shower room to prevent animals getting them. Way over my expectations was he even folded my clothes which I left in the showroom. The experience just way over my expectations. Oh, their restaurant/cafeteria area is facing a beautiful waterhole or pond and you could just sit there, sipping drinks and see the wildlife come and go. This is not just a camp site, it's an experience. The staff, the camp site, the sitting area, I just can't praise them enough. Come! And experience all these yourself.

    Perhaps the camp pitches could be further distanced.

    The food was delicious, the staff were so nice and trained to high standards (5*), morning game drive was with very knowledgeable game guide and we had superb sighting of hard to find animals with young. Highly recommend this place.
