Grootberg Lodge

Fantastic and unique location, worth spending at least one night. Rooms are small but clean and very comfortable; very friendly staff too. Dinner was rather disappointing

Wow! What a wonderful place to stay. The view from the terrace and pool are astonishing to say the least. We had no complaints about our lodging, yes it’s rustic but look where you are! The bed was clean and comfortable, the shower worked fine and you can sit on your balcony and just step away from the troubles in the world and take it all in, priceless. If fancy trappings and luxury is what you want, then stay away - please. Our evening meal, which was a set menu was excellent as was the breakfast the next day. How they get the fresh supplies is a mystery? The staff were all brilliant and even sang to us after dinner, very special. This lodge is up a very steep unpaved road, you will not make it without 4WD but there is a lodge at the bottom with parking who will presumably transport you if needed. We stayed all over Namibia for two weeks and whilst there were many special places, this one is the first that comes to mind when I think of this trip.

We have stayed in many places locally and overseas and I can honestly say this place is heaven on earth and the staff are angels. Everything was super amazing. food was great. On our second night I asked if I could have the option that was offered the night before and without hesitating the made it for me. When we left i had tears in my eyes as after only 2 nights I felt so connected to the place and the people. *****

While this place is a bit remote, it is well worth the effort and experience. They try very hard to make your experience good and teach out about how to preserve their natural beauty and animals as well as the people that also have to try and make a living on the land. The activities are well done and the guides are very knowledgeable. Dinners and lodging was phenomenal, HOWEVER, having said that, the staff there were the best part and there was so much to learn. There is plenty of time to relax, but don't forget the people that work there, they are pretty special.

We stayed 1 night at Grootberg Lodge and had a wonderful experience. We especially enjoyed chatting with the team, whose members told us about the community run project and the history and benefits of the conservancy for the community. Not only is this a lodge with incredible views, but also an example of how tourism can really benefit the people of a country. Standard of the rooms is simple, but exceptionally clean and the view and tranquility are the real luxury anyway. Recommendation if you're afraid of steep roads and height: Call them in advance and ask for a ride from the parking lot to the lodge. I was very happy we were driven by an experienced driver...

Stunning location, nice staff, good food and amazing activities: desert elephant tracking or rhino tracking is something you do not want to miss!

I stayed here last July as part of my group of 11 friends travelling around Namibia. The location is absolutely spectacular and worth a visit for that alone. The Lodge is nice, the views from the main building are stunning. The rooms are spaced out in either direction from the reception/restaurant/bar building and at varying levels on the top of the massive escarpment you look out into. The rooms are not flash but they are fine but very basic, last July we found them cold and there is no heating so we stayed in the main building as long as possible in the evenings and were under the bed covers quickly on return to the room! The restaurant & bar service was excellent, the food was basic but nice and the breakfasts were good and plentiful. We stayed 2 nights for a break from the long days of driving. I’d recommend doing the sundowner drive, the location they take you to appears to be literally on the edge of the world. It’s seemed very indulgent indeed to be in such a remote place sipping on G & T’s and snacking on the delicious snacks that were supplied. The driveway is 4WD only and not a problem if you are an accomplished off road driver. Otherwise you can park your car at the bottom of the driveway near the security officers post. They will come and collect you in a lodge vehicle. There is plenty of parking up at the lodge, some of it covered. We had an issue with being shown to the wrong type of room where my wife and I were expected to share a room with an older lady that was part of our group. If it wasn’t for the generosity of some Teenage boys in the next room who changed rooms with us it would have been very awkward indeed. The single bed had been tucked around a corner and hard up against two walls; there’s no way the lady would have been able to manipulate herself into the bed! Then on checkout there was an issue with the bill which had been prepaid. Thankfully we had copies of the booking and payments made via nightsbridge so we were fine. Even though we enjoyed the experience we would not return here.

We had a flat tyre and Brian phoned around and found us a spare. Fantastic service. Beautiful campsite grounds.

You have camped one night ! The camp is so beautiful, in the nature ! And we have take a visit : Tamara cultural walk : it's the best of our trip ! Our guide was so interesting !
