Gondwana Etosha Safari Lodge

What a lovely campsite! Quite large, with lots of space, my family and I shared two campsites. As always, the Gondwana Collection delivered with clean and lovely shower/toilet blocks. The campsite is nice and quiet, however you may hear the music from the 'Down Corruption' Bar at the pool area in the evening. The pool area is also very nicely set out and the restaurant and bar have been built with a 'Freedom Fighter' theme in mind. Very cool! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Etosha Safari Camp to anyone, especially if you want to visit Etosha, as Andersson Gate is only a few kilometres away.

During our self drive trip to Namibia, we visited Etosha National Park. We have chosen this accommodation because - besides from the reviews we found online - we wanted to stay near Anderson's Gate. The location of this camp is really good, just a few kilometers from the Anderson's Gate and it's located up in a hill right at the side of the road. We stayed in one chalet which had a really large room and very good bathroom. It also had a small porch. Our chalet had a lot of privacy - as I believe the remaining have - which was really good. The restaurant and terrace area was very nice with plety of tables around and a bar. The swimming pool seemed nice, but we didn't used it. The staff was nice and friendly and ready to help when needed. We didn't had the dinner, as we preferred to eat some self-catering we carried with us at the chalet. The breakfast was good with plenty of options. The wifi was a joke. When we arrived, we needed to ask the lady at the bar to help us connecting and she only could do it by restarting the router. After a while, we realize that all arriving guests had the same problem, so the lady at the bar needed to restart the router each new gust arrived. A couple of weeks before my arrival I've sent an email asking if it would be good to book the half day game drive in advance and we received the answer that we could just book it on arrival. I've done it on arrival but... it was fully booked. So, if you want to book a game drive, book it in advance.

This is a great place,close to Etosha Park,clean,very well taken care of. I spent 2 days in a chalet,with AC,nice showers,clean and very well positioned. There is parking space adjoining to the chalet,outside chairs and table,trees with nice shadows. Laura Anna Helao was a perfect receptionist,affable and extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent,service beyond any reproach. Wonderful experience as a whole,I fully recommend it.

This camp is actually a variety of seperate bungalows spread through the bush land. The rooms are nicely furnished & I especially liked the “elephant” shower. There is also, thankfully, good aircon in the rooms because it gets very hot. However the bungalows are spread out throughout the bush & it is quite a walk in the heat to get to the main buildings for meals & the pool. The main building is decorated as a shebeen (well know in apartheid Sth Africa, originally an illicit bar or club where excisable alcoholic beverages were sold without a licence) which is done really well. The dinner & breakfast are buffets with a good selection & good quality of hot & cold foods. Make sure you check out the neighbouring & sister property next door, the Etosha Safari Lodge for a sundowner & to see the fabulous sunset. The location is not too far from the entrance to Etosha National Park.

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.

This is strategically located near Andersson Gate and I liked that the camp site where I set up camp was lush and green. There were enough campers on the grounds to make the place seem lively but yet not too many to make the place noisy. The public toilets were also sparkingly clean and impressive. The public area at the pool and bar is where it starts to get lively in the evening with a live band playing music. Also comes with a shop where you can purchase souvenirs and wifi vouchers.
