Terrific 3 night stay at Etosha Village, not the fanciest place but very comfortable, good beds, sizeable bathroom with good showers, small fridge for light snacks. Came in January/offseason so menu limited but very good breakfast, avg dinners, bar area ok, people there are very froendly and set up game drives each day in Etosha NP, location is the best aspect if this lodge as closest tp park entrance

Very convenient and close to Anderson gate Accommodation in chalets dispersed in the mowpani trees and feels secluded. Short walks to reception and dining areas. Good bar and reasonable buffet dinner and breakfast. Wi-Fi very variable. Overall good value and relaxing

Etosha Village was a perfect place for us to stage our adventures in Etosha National Park! The chalets were comfortable, the staff so welcoming and helpful, and the location superb. Just a couple of kilometers from the gate to the park, it was easy to plan our own adventures or to use one of the offered guided excursions into the park! The amenities at the lodge were excellent, including multiple pools, excellent food service, and even some wild creatures (kudu, oryx, zebra to name a few!) wandering through the property! We would definitely recommend Etosha Village to anyone looking to travel to Etosha!

I loved Etosha village because it was unique, with the outdoor atmosphere.

Very nice location with great rooms near by the Anderson Gate. The tour we had with our guide trough the Etosha was great. However, you have to be very early for breakfast (clearly before 8 am) otherwise some options (eg. jam and muffins) disappear.

Friendly, clean, beautifully, basic property. Close to Ethosa Anderson Gate. Perfect location

We had a lovely time the staff were very friendly and helpful.The day we decided to go to the eastern gate and discussed it with Hilton Louw. He gave us some really good ideas and gave us his personal mobile no as I mentioned that I was worried about a flat tire or a problem and did not like the idea of spending the night I’m the park! The beds are so comfortable rooms clean and roomy. Can recommend this lovely lodge with its really good staff and food.

Nice property close to Etosha. Wifi is terrible, food is alright.

Very beautiful. Air conditioning and ceiling fan in the room. Outside balcony to view the area. Cozy and African design. Only wish we could stay longer... Thank you for your hospitality.

Our best stay while in Namibia. Lovely lodge and good food.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. It is about 1 km from the entrance to Etosha Park. The cabin was great, large, clean and well appointed. the buffet dinner and breakfast was also very good. You may get tired of it if you stay more than 2 nights, but that wasn't a problem for me. All in all have no problem giving this place and enthusiastic recommendation.

Great place to stay in terms of proximity to the national park and overall quality. Dinner buffet was ok, though limited options for vegetarians or pescatarians. Minimal chicken and no fish/seafood. Also challenging for GF diners - no rice, only noodles and dishes with pastry (quiches, etc.). Service from the staff, particularly the tour company, was ok, not great. They offer a stargazing walk at night, minimum 2 people...but when my partner and I asked to go, they said it wasnt on offer that night (perfectly clear day, no weather related issues). They also felt a bit sales-y, trying sell you guided drives, etc. and withholding information on the park if you were self-driving. At the shop, they were very transactional and not particularly kind or friendly at all. All that said, Id stay again as the room is very nice and the food quality is decent (if you can eat it). The grounds are nice, with lovely pools and again, so close to the park, which was our focus in the morning.

Great lodge just staff are very difficult to find around. From the bar that you always have to call someone for service to the activity booking that was just handled extremely badly due to staff availability. A simple thing like a bell would help. Guests can ring for service and you can have someone help but staff are not easily found on the lodge. Had issues with an activity booking that was resolved by calling for a manager but the reason for saying the activity could not be booked was a food booking and not the activity itself. Pointing out that the food booking was not needed did not help and the in-room literature has no guidance on the booking or a time to be booked by but staff then say they cannot assist if you after a certain time. Issue of a blocked drain in the chalet on the 1st night was well handled but should of been checked prior to check-in Otherwise the food is amazing with great game selection every night. Pity you have to ask about the extras available that should be in the in-room literature but that’s a tip for future travellers. Ask about bush dinner/sundowner combos but they really should include this in the in-room pamphlets. The location to Etosha park is worth it as it’s a 5 min drive to Anderson Gate and easy access to Etosha. Room lights a bit too low though for a 1.8m person and these should be raised. One the activities were booked the service was great. Pity it’s difficult to get service to start though.

The accommodation was clean, and comfortable. Very large rooms. The food was good but the variety was limited. whilst the choice of food was great it was very similar every night. We stayed 3 nights so this comment would only be of relevance if you stay more than 1 night. There is an excellent baker on site, the cakes, bread and tarts were excellent. The staff are friendly, especially the waiters and bar staff. The garden and surroundings were well maintained and accommodation sensitive to the bush. It was good value for money. A few things that need to be addressed: 1. in the information book in the room it says "join us for tea and cake at 15h00 - 16h00", which we did but the staff had no idea what we were taking about and after much discussions we were given 2 small cakes - which turned out to be dessert for that nights dinner. 2. the kettle in the room did not plug in where is was placed on the fridge, it need to be carried over to the opposite side of the room to a plug point and plugged in and positioned on the ground. 3. the reception staff were most put out by the fact that we did not have a cellphone contact number for Namibia or roaming - we received a lecture on why this is not good. 4. The wooden seating area on the balcony had no cushions so were really hard to sit on.

Staff are excellent and friendly!

The rooms are really very nicely appointed and clean, and the food at the buffet dinner is excellent. The location is very close to the Etosha entrance, even if the road into the rooms is a bit rough. There are three pleasant (if cold) pools and you can spot the occasional (harmless) animal roaming the area. I found reception staff to be actively unfriendly. I absolutely gave them no cause to treat me like a bother - I have never had a problem with a receptionist in my life, but they seemed very unwilling to check me in, like I was a total pain in the ass when I asked if I could have a pool towel, and like I killed someone when I asked why the WiFi was not working (which it didn't for the duration of my stay). Check-out was equally unpleasant, except for my delight at getting out of there. Restaurant staff were neutral - forgetful and a bit incompetent, but not so actively unpleasant. For the price, I wouldn't recommend this place.

Stunning remote location close to Park gates. The property is built to resemble a Namibian village and is both rustic and chic. Rooms beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Buffet dinner and breakfast excellent. Staff very helpful and attentive.

Very comfortable, clean rooms with good facilities, half-board stay good value, good swimming pool. Very close to south entrance to Etosha Park, which made self-drive in Park very accessible.

Very friendly staff, great food, comfortable and big rooms, close to the Anderson Gate, so you can get into Etosha very early in the morning

Excellent for Etosha, & very well designed

Nice, friendly and good location. Singer buffet very good.

Our booking was prepaid through Expedia. Upon checkout we were told that we had to pay for the room. When I stated it was prepaid, the staff said there was no mention of that. I explained that Expedia gave a virtual card for the hotel to claim the room rate from and they still insisted I pay again. We were told that we would have to wait an hour until the Manager came to work. I said we could not wait as we had a five hour drive ahead of us and to call the Manager. This was completed and the member of staff was told that in fact the room rate would be settled via Expedia. No apology extended and no thanks for our business. Very disappointing as we were made to feel like we were lying.

Excellent position just a short drive from the entrance to the park. We enjoyed a beer on our balcony while watching female kudu walking by followed by a pair of warthogs the next morning-magical.
