Gondwana Etosha Safari Lodge

Lovely lodge, beautiful rooms. Intermittent Wi-Fi disappointing We were only here for one night and enjoyed some relaxation by the main pool. Went to the raised pier area for sundowners, seating looked good but was quite uncomfortable! waited quite a while to order drinks ended up going to the bar. When it came to eating the buffet was mediocre, good salad bar but the rest was not to our taste so we returned to the salad bar. Pudding was nice. Drinks service was very slow through out the dinner. Breakfast was pretty average, took too long and we needed to leave early. Over promised under delivered on food and service

We stayed at Etosha Safar Camp for 2 nights. They are currently refurbishing their facilities, therefore there areas that are not open to the guests. In spite of operating amid renovations, the staff is very professional and friendly. When we found it too cold to have breakfast outside one morning, the staff quickly prepared a table for us inside.The food (buffet for breakfast and dinner) is excellent and good value for money with the local band adding Nam flavour to the dining experience. The House Wine is of excellent quality, as we have experienced in all of the Gondwana Lodges. The decor in the main bulding is exceptional and so interesting. Depicting a lot of memoribilia from the time just before and after Independence we marvelled at the ingenuity of the displays. The bungalows are basic, but very clean. It would be great if a rail for hanging clothes could be added to a wall. There is not enough space to unpack for guests staying more than one night. The shower is nice and hot though. The whole camp has a very relaxed atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hearing lions roar both nights made it even more special. The swimmingpool is clean and well maintained, but it was too cold for us to jump in. I would like to know why there are so many cats around. Gondwana is a very environmentally conscious Group and cats are so destructive to the local fauna. If it is because they want to control snake numbers, then they should invest in some of their staff attending a snake handling course. Namiba has very good programs.

If it were not for the fact that we had a tour schedule we would have stayed another day .... the camp is really great with grassed stand although the ablutions are rustic , the service is beyond good with and excellent Restuarant and bar

Really wish we could’ve stayed longer! We stayed in the camp2go and were surprised at the super value for money! Everything you need is there - cooking pots, pans, cutlery, braai gear, fridge, evaporative cooler, you name it they’ve got it!! Couple this with an amazing pool and bar area with live music and a funky colorful look and super friendly staff and you’ve got a formula for success!! What a great time we had! Thanks!!!

We camp here for 3 nights.The camp is full of grass and a lot of shade. The ablution is nice and clean. The staff was very friendly. Very nice to look at the Warthog and Impala grazing in front of the tent. Next time wen we go to Etosha, I will use this camp as a base-camp again. Keep up the good work Gondwana.

My friends and I camped here in January 2015 for 2 nights. The receptionist at the campsite reception was so friendly and helpful. The decor here was well done and suited the atmosphere. The round pool with the sunset in the background provided picturesque photos! The campsite was clean, electricity and camp lights were provided, we were able to pitch tents on grass and the ablution blocks were clean and modern. The safari camp is also very close to Etosha which makes it a must-stay for future travelers. We went to the lodge at the top for sundowners which also had a stunning view. Thank you for a lovely stay!
