Incredible Food and Interior
Reviewed By annamU4275IKWe have been overloading for over 2500km across Namibia and have stayed at many campsites and lodges. We were overwhelmed at how reasonable the camping was and how nicely shaded our spot was with a sink and everything which has been quite uncommon to have at your campsite. The food was incredible and well priced. It was hands down the best we had at any other lodge we had been to. Our waiters were kind and attentive and we truly felt welcome. Keep up the incredible work. This place is a true gem.

Great campsite and horse riding
Reviewed By CapeGooseberryWe stayed in the pioneer campsite for 2 nights at the start of our trip - it's close enough to Windhoek to get out into the bush the day you arrive, without having to drive a huge distance. The campsite is really private, and feels wild, although it's close enough to the main farmhouse to be able walk to the pool or stables (a huge advantage if you have a roof tent...). The main draw for us was the horse riding. This is absolutely fantastic, and our kids are still talking about it. Beautiful horses, and Lisa and Phil are extremely patient and professional. It is very special to be able to do an outride early in the morning and see giraffe and antelope close up. We loved it and wished we could have stayed longer.

Reviewed By AK1970Your perfect stop upon arrival or departure from Windhoek. Unwind after a long flight or before flying for a few days. The place is beautiful, well maintained and clean. Nice bar and swimming pool, spacious rooms with comfy bed. We had a very delicious dinner and breakfast here. And the staff, Silvie and Abby, are very friendly. Wifi also works well

Visitors to TUCSIN Tsumkwe Lodge will not only be able to experience the ancient and unique culture of the San community but will also be contributing to the improved livelihoods of the local San people. 100% of profits generated by the TUCSIN Tsumkwe Lodge fund local projects in education, income generation, training, cultural preservation and more.

Tsumkwe is still a wilderness paradise, off the beaten track!
Lots of improvement needed
Reviewed By dpmanagerLimited to no meal and choices that makes it impossible to enjoy the stay. You eat what they offer or you don't eat at all. Definitely need to improve on this. Need maintenance on the genera infrastructure of the lodge to make it more attractive.

BE AWARE, THIS PLACE IS PART OF A HUNTING LODGE!!!
Reviewed By tonid_11We spent 2 nights here and had 3 day Game drives which was a gift from my partner which was arranged by a tour guide. Our first game drive was great, after spotting Giraffe and Elephant we were happy to book for the next day. On the morning of our second game drive we see nothing. Apparently it was too windy for the animals to come out of the bush so they were hiding? or so we were told by our guide. After returning from our drive we sat around the pool area for a hour or so and while there we joked that we heard gun shots. As if anyone would be shooting animals near here we thought. That evening was our third game drive, hoping to see Lions or Rino however we were told by our guide who was different to the mornings, that again the weather was to bad for the animals to be out? I thought the weather was perfect, the wind had died down and there was not a cloud in the sky! And as if animals think oh, the weathers bad so I'm not going out today! Drives was meant to be 3 hours long but after having a sundowner by the river and waiting for our guide to finish his cigarette, we drove back to the lodge, we got back 30 minutes early. we did complain and were offered a bottle of wine as an apology which we refused. We didn't pay for the drive. The verbal communication from the guides were non existent, you would just get the name of the animal which you were looking at but there was no factual information which we learnt on the animals. That evening we spoke to a lady who we had befriended, and she showed us photos of the magnificent Lions we had been wanting to see. She told us she went out with the owner and they knew where the lions were as one had been TAGGED so they knew where to find them! I was horrified. Not only does Mount Etjo tag animals, the guides know where the lions are and they obviously do not show you them on a drive as they earn so much more if you pay for a night time Lion feed. which coincidently, you get asked if you would like to join every evening during dinner. We obviously refused as we believe animals should be in a natural environment and hunt their own food. So it really doesn't matter how many times you pay for a game drive, the likelihood of you seeing lions would be non excitant by looking at the reviews most pay for the lion feed, and the excuse they come up with is the weather! More disturbing is that when returning home we discovered that Mount Etjo is part of Jan Oelofse Hunting lodge which is situated in close proximity to the main lodge. Here you can hunt and kill the animal ( for a high price of course!) as they proudly advertise on their website if you search for it. Looking back we thought that there were some strange men on our drive on the first afternoon. No cameras and dressed over the top in full hunting clothes. We didn't see them on our full day until dinner time around the fire. I could tell they were extremely happy with themselves and with beer in their hands I could hear them talk about seeing that day and I'm sure I heard the word gun. We thought it was strange as we hadn't seen them on the drives that day. but again at the time it didn't register as I guess we were a little naive. The fact that we were in the same room as theses pathetic people makes me feel ashamed to be a human being. We were told that there were only 25 people at Mount Etjo and that if there was an overflow some will be housed in the other lodge, now we know that is Jan Oelofse hunting lodge. Jan Oelofse Hunting lodge even have the audacity to have the words conservation and hunting on there website! I am sure there will be a reply defending pathetic men and women who love nothing more than to put a gun in their hands and shot defenceless animals! If you care for animals and believe they should be free then avoid these places. I feel sick that our money was given to these discussing people who are happy to display their kills. We are now going to work with people who really care about Wildlife Conservation who protect endangered species and try to educate and stop people like this who put profit in front of the welfare or animals.

Perfect!
Reviewed By WouldLikeaBeerWe stayed here the night before our departure and after two weeks of safari. It was just what we needed. As soon as you arrive there is a sense of serenity. The rooms are beautiful and peaceful. The viewing deck is magnificent with a floodlit waterhole to spend the evening watching the great variety of antelope. The restaurant is worth 5* in itself, we had one of the best meals we had experienced on our trip. All of the staff were kind and helpful. We slept like a couple of logs and woke up wishing we could stay for longer. We enjoyed a walk of the grounds and came face to face with some zebra before heading back for a wonderful breakfast. There was a mix up with our bill that was rectified without us even noticing. Not only that but they offered a very kind gesture to apologise for the mix up. We will definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to anyone.
