Etosha Safari Camp

All of our group loved this place. Huts were clean and beautifully decorated with big beds and quirky touches. I slept like a log with the remote hut offering beautiful sunsets and proximity to the area's wonderful wildlife. We saw dik diks on the way in and met a pack of mongoose as we walked down to dinner. The breakfast and dinner buffets were superb, and the real highlight was the bar area with live music and fantastic atmosphere. My only regret was that we were only able to stay for one night before moving on. The only (tiny) negative was that the bar service was a little sluggish, but maybe that did me a favour.

When we arrived, we were a bit surprised with the entrance and the reception, after being already spoiled with great lodges. However, our impression changed when we’ve seen the cabin. The cabins were very clean, with good amenities. Our daughter loved the bank bed fixed over our bed and the shower with an elephant. The cabins were wide spread leaving a lot of privacy. We could park the car next to the door. At night zebras were passing by, Great experience. The food was excellent, wide selection of drinks and wines. Staff very nice and helpful. Every day there was a live music performance, creating great atmosphere for guests sitting around a fire in armchairs made from recycled tires (very comfortable ). The camp had a shabby-chic charm.

We are quite regular visitors to the Etosha Safari Camp Chalets and have always been more than satisfied and happy with our stay there. This past weekend (17 - 19 March) we were there again and I feel I have to mention something regarding the service during some of the meal times. On Saturday evening nobody came to our table during the first 35 minutes. At that time I already went to the bar myself and got our own drinks. The next morning at breakfast, the same thing again. Breakfast time is from 7 - 9 and when we arrived at 08:10 there were no more scrambled eggs or bacon. We had to wait until more was prepared. Some of the guests had to go and get their own coffee and we were not offered a refill. Eventually we received some eggs and bacon and when the neighboring table requested fried eggs, they were told that they have run out of eggs!!! They were offered pancakes instead. (They had some premade pancake mix) I don't know what is happening, but it is not what we are accustomed to from Gondwana.

We were robbed by their cleaning staff. Women‘s clothing and at least 600 USD were stolen from our luggage while our room was being cleaned. Seems like a common occurrence here, according to several other reviews from the internet. Management remained indifferent on the issue.

We had a fantastic stay! The food was ok on Friday and better on Saturday, and the live entertainment was top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The comfortable beds and well-functioning air conditioners ensured a restful night despite the heat. I wholeheartedly recommend this place and can't wait to stay there again!

Our stay was nice, but unfortunately we forgot a pants in the bathroom that was never found, although we had made several contacts ( email, calls and my husband went to the office in Windhoek). So, be careful with your stuff!
