Convenient to Park Gate

Reviewed By Danielle E

My daughter and I stayed here last month. It was a nice place to stay with large rooms equipped with great ceiling fan for chasing the mosquitoes away. No mosquito net but with the fan you didn’t need it. Air con worked great. Bathrooms were very cute but sometimes there were mosquitoes in there. We liked the food there a lot. Lots of game choices at dinner. Also great salads and pizza too. The staff were all very friendly and overall it was a very positive experience.

Very roomy and private

Reviewed By E5347GOkenk

Essentially a very large hut. My wife and I loved the place. As others probably mentioned no internet in the rooms however you are in a very isolated place and are there to see the Namib Desert so the location was amazing. We saw a lone wildebeest practically in the camp which was so cool as it was our first of the trip. The rooms were very clean and kept well. Provided everything we needed with lots of privacy. Would definitely recommend it and would stay again.

Great villas

Reviewed By NamFlyer

Wonderful stay in one of the villas. Very welcoming management, with very authentic and warm service. Villa's are amazing and although self-catering, food can be ordered at the main guesthouse. Great nature for walks/hikes. Overall, very good atmosphere and a big recommendation for all that want to enjoy a weekend to themselves (as opposed to all inclusive service around the clock).

Good camping

Reviewed By Songro1

Very well situated camp site with garage and small shop and within easy distance of Soussusvlei. Even though some of the sites are next to the main road there are so little traffic after sunset that it doesn't cause any noise issues. Excellent shower with plenty hot water and own private bathroom well laid out and spacious. Well worth the money

Chobe River Camp

Gaze over the flood plains and enjoy luxurious solitude on the banks of the Chobe River. Assuring extraordinary experiences, we offer 20 luxury tented chalets. The lodge was inspired by the natural beauty of the landscape and all chalets have been constructed using indigenous Mopane timber and canvas. This offers not only a stunning sight, but an environmentally conscious design. Expect a unique and wondrous experience when visiting the Camp. This region is Namibia’s very own version of the Serengeti and offers a rare experience. With a bit of luck you can see large herds of elephants, buffalo and antelope. Activities may be seasonal, but will always amaze and intrigue our guests. Chobe River Camp is a wildlife and birder’s dream and is the ideal place to break away, just across the river from the world renowned Chobe Nature Reserve, home to one of the largest concentrations of elephant on the African continent. The Camp is also the ideal place for day trips to Victoria Falls, located only 150km away.

It is located in the Northern parts of the country and has a total population of approximately 7 000 residents. The name Outjo means “small hills” and is derived from the surrounding topography. This town is well-known because it serves as the gateway to the Etosha National Park. The town was founded in 1897 by Germans and initially served as their military base. Outjo is located near the Gamkarab Caves known for its many formations, but the caves are unfortunately not open to the public. Outjo can be used as a base when exploring places like the Etosha Wildlife Park, the Skeleton Coast, Koakoveld and Damaraland in the North of Namibia. Outjo is less than an hour's drive (only 94km Southwest) from the popular tourist attraction, the Etosha Wildlife Park in Northern Namibia. -Outjo Attractions- The town museum in Outjo has displays of local history and a variety of animal horns, skins and bones, minerals and gemstones. The museum is also home to an exciting Craft Shop that teaches local woman the art of fabric painting and other skills. Gamkarab cave is 50km North-East of Outjo. There are a few stalagmites and stalactites and an underground lake. Travelling westwards en-route to Khorixas and 95 km West of Outjo, is the Ugab Vingerklip (finger of rock) situated amongst the rugged Ugab Terraces. If you stay on the tarred road, you will miss this. About 35 m high, this distinctive monolith has been moulded into its unique shape by erosion. Rock paintings - 95 km West of Outjo. Can be viewed at Omburo Ost, a neighbouring farm to the Rockfinger site. Etosha National Park - 94km north of Outjo it is one of Southern Africa's most beautiful and most important Game Reserves. The Petrified forest - 140km West of Outjo. The turn-off to the site of the Petrified Forest is 42 kilometres west from Khorixas on the C39 road. The site was declared a national monument in 1950. It is now strictly prohibited to remove or damage even small pieces of petrified wood after it suffered damaging attacks of souvenir hunters. The trees are about 250 million years old and were deposited in the area by the flood which came down from areas further north, suggested by the fact that trunks do not have any branches or roots.

Each chalet is individually placed around the granite hill, each has its own car park - right next to the chalet. 2 sides of the chalets are canvas as from 1 m and the other 2 sides are normal chalet walls. The bathroom is tiled and has some open space between the walls and the roof. This has been closed with shade net. It is great - for its 'close to nature-feeling' and with outdoor enthusiasts it is greatly appreciated.

If the wind should be blowing, the sides of this social gathering Place can be closed with canvas. There is a small bar in this unit.

Magical place

Reviewed By Bruna I

We booked at the campsite but got a free upgrade to the lodge, which was just fabulous! Huge clean room with balcony with a view on the desert, equipped with fridge and nicely decorated. Extra comfy beds. I particularly enjoyed the setting of the lodge , in the heart of the Namib desert , convenient for visiting Sossusvlei. I loved having breakfast or dinner in the porch, watching oryx and springboks coming for a visit... this is also a magical place to admire the starry sky , engulfed by the silence of the desert, relaxing in the swimming pool...the only sound we would hear was the singing of birds , there are plenty of them , don’t forget to have a look at their magnificent, huge nests on the nearby trees . Food was simply delicious and the staff kind and helpful.. one evening cooks and waiters even performed a nice show for the guests, singing traditional namibian songs. If you leave early for visiting Soussusvlei , they can prepare a packed breakfast to bring with you. We will keep great memories of our stay there!

Saddening stay

We stayed at the campsite with our own tent. When we arrived the woman who welcomed us had no time for us, she was always on the phone. We asked where we could pitch our tent and she just pointed out here finger while she was still on the phone. There is a bar and we liked to drink something but there was nothing, only coke. Showers on a donkey in open air are good and toilets also open air.
