Etotongwe Lodge Reviews

We stayed for two nights at Etotongwe Lodge as a base for going to Etosha National Park. It had a real Lodge feel and we enjoyed the views. The room was clean and comfortable and suited our needs. There was a nice little sitting out area outside the room, although most other rooms had a more private area than ours (room 25). The bar was busy and access to the internet was limited therefore we only got onto the wifi on the final morning when there was no-one else around. This was important to us as we needed to be in contact with family back home and complete further planning but this was problematic. Check in was a little challenging as the lady couldn't seem to find our booking at first, but it was resolved in the end. We ate breakfast at about 8.15 am on the first morning (it finished at 9am) but there was very little hot food left and although they offered to make fresh eggs, they seemed a little reluctant. Whilst we were eating breakfast (cold/tough bacon and toast which had seen better days) there was a lot of commotion coming from the kitchen and it was clear the manager was very unhappy with the staff for some reason; we'd have preferred to have eaten in a more peaceful atmosphere. We had breakfast somewhat earlier the following day and there was more choice and the food was hotter. The pool area was nice, but impossible to get a bed if you arrive later on in the day (many were reserved in the usual tourist way, book or towel, but no one on the bed itself).

I had to go to Outjo for work, and there are not many options in the area. Etotongwe is convenient, just north of town on the road to Etosha. It seems to be a favorite of tour companies coming from somewhere else who can’t make it all the way into Etosha before the gates close. The rooms were small, but clean. The AC worked well, as did the hot water. Outjo has very little to commend itself, but Etotongwe makes the best of what it is where it is.

It's a comfortable and convenient lodge to stay at when travelling through Namibia

Basic motel like stopover. Yes, everything worked to a degree, but the staff seemed disinterested and the room was depressing. There are lots of guest farms around, which for the same price would give a much better experience.

A estadia foi ótima! Tudo muito limpo, organizado e equipe excelente.

Gostei muito do hotel. Local bastante calmo e agradável. Gostei do atendimento, da piscina...

エトーシャの近くなので、日帰りのツアーがあるのかと思い選びましたが、相談してもロッジではツアーをやっていないとのこと。また、街でいっぱんのツアーは無いか相談しても、取り次いでくれず、不親切だなと感じた。
