To be recommended. Very impressive to have the opprotunity to observe animals only a stone's throw from our camp place in the existing water hole.
Perfect resort, we had a very nice challet near waterhole, very good service.
the waterhole it's worth the whole experience
Great lit waterhole. Abundance of animals to see. Remember to check the sighting book.
Lovely water hole and had a camp site booked quite near the water hole. Ablutions over utilised by many groups of overlanders. Could do with more ablutions.
i hear bad feedbacks (not friendly), it\'s not true, loveble place very gently people very good brai
Wonderful place, wonderful service. thank you very much
Lovely place our favorite of the three places we booked in Etosha.
great campsite, beautiful, doesn't live up to its 'basic' reputation, hot showers, though can get busy. only problem is jackals running around campsite at night and it can get very crowded. worth it though for the watering hole. terrible, rude staff, not very well-stocked shop - no bread for 3 days, expensive bar meals.
Very well situated just in front a waterhole. Inside the park. I love it.
The camp ground was excellent, although could of used more showers.
I liked living so close to the waterhole and the guided tour in the truck in the nationalpark early in the morning. very good and proffessional guide!
Excellent resort, with excellent restaurant and fantastic water hole.
Very poor service in the restaurant. Expensive drives. Room right by waterhole great.
waterhole location a must. great experience even though more people then we were used to at that point.
The Chalet was great! Nothing to complain about;o)
A little bit crowded
This was my second time at Okaukuejo and I remember liking it much more the first time. It is very big, very crowded, very impersonal and frankly, overpriced. The one thing it has going for it that cannot be denied is the waterhole, but aside from that, we really did not like it here. We much preferred staying outside the park in the intimate and more personal setting of Etosha Aoba.
We had a little chalet, it had lot of room, clean, no complain there. Buffet was good but make sure your early, there was groups when we stayed there and it become crowded quickly. Trick is always to be a step ahead of the crowd then your dining experience if a bit better. Waterhole was the highlight, great photo opportunities at night when Rhino come for a drink.
Basic, with an even more basic restaurant/dinning; but staying in a chalet near the waterhole makes all the difference! Woudn't change it for anything!
At the time of year we visited it was quiet so the facilities were fine - I liked the way the chef cooked your choice of meat as you requested at dinner and, similarly, your breakfast choice - fresh cooking!
Enjoyed the resort and accommodation was good although not too keen on the food selection. The waterhole was deserted and we were told its the wrong time of year and that its better to visit July/Aug but nevertheless still enjoyed being there. Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends anytime of the year!
very nice great Chalet, best resort in Etosha, very friendly staff
Everything was fabulous! The accommdation was top class, the watering hole never disappointed, the food was fantastic and the staff helpful and friendly. Wish we hadn't had to leave!
Accommodation was spacious, clean and modern. Our visit was in the low season so not huge amounts of game by the waterhole, but lots seen when we drove into park itself.
everything was fine, but it is a very big spot. we recommend to everybody to book a waterhole chalet.
This Resort and also the NWR resorts we visited along the trip are not good value for money! Management and services are not efficient and almost polite with tourists. The Resort is not well maintain (high grass around pool, shower not working properly, restaurant area decoration looks cheap and old,...). The food is basic except that we could taste different games but the price for buffet is way to high vs quality of food. Bush chalets have been nicely renoved including small kitchenette and fridge but there are no drinks (as welcome drinks for instance or mini bar) in the fridge! Last but not least, usually when you pay the entrance fees for a park to visit we received for free the map of the game reserve, here you have to pay extra!
LOVED THE ACCOMMODATION! Villa was in the perfect location, was very clean and nicely decorated -- very comfortable. Animals were plentiful --- lots of fun.
Very nice place... totaly worth a long drive!!
Large campsite with good facilities, customer service somewhat lacking though.
You couldn't ask for more and the water hole is a plus
WOW !! BEAUTIFUL !!
Our experience at Okaukuejo resort was excellent as usual. Rooms were prepared well and food offered in the resturant were good. In terms of game vieiwng, we had a good time within the limited period. Hoever, front counter staff could be freindlier
Wonderful waterhole
Excellent facilities and good food and service!
Excellent stay.....highly recommended
We found the accommodation very good here and the restaurant was also ok. We were a bit skeptical of government run accommdation and had heard some negative things but we found the accommodation and the site here very good. Rooms were clean and there was air conditioning which we really appreciated.
Too crowded. Staff friendly. Accommodation ok. Waterhole feels like a circus.
Waterhole chalets are really small (and for no real reason) felt a little tour packaged here. 1 night was fine
Fantastic waterhole, o.k yes it does get busy but this doesn't affect the experience as there are plenty of viewing areas, much more than at Halali. We were there both nights and saw Rhino on each night, 2 the first night and SIX the next night, plus we heard lions without actually seeing them. We also saw about 10 giraffes on the second night which was quality.
Our bush chalet was very good. It was cleaned to a high standard every day. Would recommend the bush chalet in preference to the more expensive waterhole chalets, as not many of them seem to have a waterhole view and lots of people are walking past them to get to the waterhole. Not sure the 'security' between the waterhole and the bungalows is that good!
Very nice. Quite a big property but the Waterhole Chalet rooms were beautiful and the beds/linen very comfortable.
everything was ok
Very nice in all respects.
We had a Premium waterholeview. Room was perfect, exceptionnal view but that`s all. Don`t expect any services because there is none. No room service, the food is awful (even if you pay 4000 dollars, you are the same than people in the camping), waiters at the restaurant are agressive. It really doesn`t worth to stay in such place
A wonderful camp - clean and operational. A bit crowded but we had a nice spot at the back near the fence. The waaterhole is WONDERFUL. What an experience.
The accomodation was very beautiful, on the waterhole; the dinner was better than what I expected
beautiful but restaurant was so so, not so good but also not bad
Nice campsite. Great waterhole. Facilities were fine.
Great pick among the various camps! We loved the watering hole, and their restaurant was very nice too.
Very impressive, good staff, great room, amazing watering hole.
Accommodation perfectly acceptable and clean. Swimming pools also clean. Food generally OK with one or two surprising gourmet treats thrown in to the mix. Service OK, but get the impression that staff are overworked and/or not trained properly. They seem willing but have not been provided adequate instruction to deal with the hordes. It is unfortunate as I would not like to suffer the ire of the overseas bus loads that arrive in their overly demanding masses. It also means they are missing out on possible gratuities due to no fault of their own. Highlight of the Resort is definitely the waterhole ... simply delightful.
We last stayed in 2001 and could not believe the transformation - rooms are lovely, though the food could be a bit better.
The remodeling of the waterhole chalets was incredible!!! By far the best accomodations of our entire trip! I hadn't been back to Etosha since 2001 and the improvements were better than I expected.
The waterhole at Okakuejo was just wonderful. Because of the lack of rain there was enormous quantities of animals.
It was very nice that Anke managed to find place for us in Okakuejo. The rooms are very nice, the swimmingpool at midday relaxing and the waterhole just amazing!
The waterhole cottage was the single most important part of our trip.
Waterhole bungalows are nice. I actually thought that the bungalow was much closer to the waterhole and I thought it had a view if it, which is not the case.
Perfect waterhole but did not like the camp. Too crowded and our campsite had no shade. We roasted during the day
excellent camp
What can I say, the Water Hole Chalet was wonderful. What could be more "African" than be awoken during the night by lions roaring at the waterhole. The accommodations were first rate and the food was very good. While the view of the water hole from the Chalet is blocked by trees, with the water hole only being steps from the chalet, it really doesn't matter.
One of the best experience of the holiday
this was (premier waterhole chalet)the best location of all......
Fantastic choice of lodge, very close to the waterhole. This place is amazing and we couldn't fault the accommodation for location within the camp.
The dining hall service and food quality is substandard.Reception is helpful but frustrations with credit card machines.The lack of an atm is incomprehensible
Good resort. Fantastic with the accommodation next to the waterhole. Rooms a little small, but the room was very nicely decorated.
Great water hole. Not as much character in the main camp as Namutoni but still good facilities
The waterhole is fantastic it seems to be in a nature film. Very well managed.
Execellent room, close to the waterhole but food service is a little basic presumably due to the large number of guests
Recommend this for anyone going to Etosha. One night inside Etosha was very much needed.
Beautiful setting. Very nice bedrooms - heating much appreciated. Food very low quality (but can you expect better from a National Park?)
The busiest place on our whole trip. The accomodations are ok.
Great! Staff friendly and helpful, food great! Etosha's flagship by far. I will only go there in future.
We really enjoyed our stay here - the time was not quite enough for us though.
unbelievable place
Etosha is magnificent. When campsite is full of overlanders there are not enough ablutions
we managed to get a change of room as we thought that the chalets were self contained and we bought food to cook. We were moved to a Family Chalet for the first night then into the standard waterhole chalet room for the next 2 nights. The Family Chalet and Waterhole Rooms were great, clean and had everything you needed. The food at the dining room was OK – not great but good. It was great at Okaukeujo that we got maps and could find out a lot of information from the staff at the reception.
