    Etotongwe Lodge offers an authentic Namibian experience that embraces nature, wildlife, and the charm of the African landscape. Nestled in the heart of the region, this lodge provides a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure for travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path escape. From the moment you arrive at Etotongwe Lodge, you're enveloped in the serene beauty of the surroundings. The lodge's layout and design seamlessly blend with the natural environment, creating an immediate connection with the wilderness. The accommodations, ranging from rustic chalets to camping options, cater to different preferences while retaining an air of simplicity. The lodge's proximity to wildlife-rich areas is a major highlight. Game drives and excursions offer the chance to witness Namibia's unique fauna up close. The expertise of the guides adds to the experience, providing insights into the animals and the ecosystem. While Etotongwe Lodge offers an authentic wilderness experience, some guests have suggested minor improvements in terms of facilities and service consistency.

    I didn't spend the night this time but I stopped there for lunch. The location is very serene with wild animals drinking water just across the fence. The service here is quite fast and friendly. I had the most delicious beef burger at the restaurant, fresh ingredients although the chips was a little cold.

    Unfortunately this was one of the worse places I've been in a really long time. When we arrived we had to wait for at least 15 minutes for someone to come to the reception... There was a client that was sitting there saying "you can't complain about service if there isn't any"- instant red flag Unfortunately the room was not cleaned, there was stains all over the bedsheets , the towels were wet and smelled used and definitely not cleaned, also the room had a strong toilet detergent smell, the air con was ridiculous as was the tv(people with bad sight would not be able to see a thing) Now with the bar and restaurant I had ordered a juice with a glass the glass was so dirty I decided to drink straight out of the bottle with a straw, the food took at least 2 hours to arrive at our table and it was a simple pizza and when it arrived the cutlery was all stained and dirty and we definitely did not want to eat the food. The place has great potential but unfortunately not ran and not enough effort put into it. This was at the lodges note I do not know how the camping is.

    Decent rooms, good food and excellent location! The pizza menu could be a bit bigger and service a bit faster but all in all I would reccomend to fellow travellers

    My partner and I camped here for a night. Basic sites but has what we needed. Pretty busy bar and restaurant area, wifi available in the main lobby and restaurant areas.

    Quiet place just outside Outjo town on the road to Etosha. It's well priced, the rooms are nice and clean but have no fridges. Crisp swimming pool and lush lawn. The buffet breakfast is very good. Recommended.

    A jewel of a place; camping sites are great, with basins, firepits, and grass. Pool, bar, and restaurant on site. An hour from Etosha, and the town of Outjo has all the necessary shops. Staff are super friendly and unbelievably helpful. After a storm washed our whole campsite away, the owner arranged a room, which was beautifully fitted and cosy, for our family at no charge. Can only thank them for the wonderful service. Will definitely stay there every time, and can recommend to all.

    The room was clean and nice. The breakfast buffet was extensive and had various types of teas and coffees. I stayed during the fourth of July and as one of the few Americans staying at the lodge I had a great time in the bar which stayed open after hours to accommodate my group. 10/10

    Stayed over the Easter weekend, great ambiance and friendly staff overall. Food was fine but can do better on the breakfast menu. Beautiful place and I will recommend it to anyone going to Etosha.

    I can only speak for their dining room & Bar, I've never stayed over night. The bar is nice equipped with a pleasant beer garden. Ostriches are right across from the Bar in open field. Great Food and a big variety to choose from.
