The blanket was dirty. The staff was not in particular welcoming. However they offer an affordable price which makes up to it

A great company
My GoPro was lost there and they found it and then delivered it to Etosha Safari Lodge, another hotel of the same company, where we stayed a few days later. This tells a lot positively about this company. On this trip we only used Gondwana hotels and services. The company didn’t disappoint us. I highly recommend Gondwana.

Kaikin puolin mahtava paikka! Maisemat huikeat!
Keihäsantilooppeja ja pahkasika oli joka päiväunien vieras.
Lähipolut kannattaa käydä kävelemässä.
Ravintolassa tarjoiltava ruoka tulisi suojata linnuilta. Joka ruokailussa pikkulinnut söi useista astioista. Liekö tästä aiheutunut kevyttä vatsa ongelmaa?
Uima-allas vesi voisi olla pari astetta lämpimämpää…

Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet établissement spacieux et très qualitatif. La piscine n’est pas chauffée, il faut le savoir, et la wifi n’arrive que difficilement dans les chambres - ca n’est un problème que quand on a passé de nombreuses heures sur des routes sur lesquelles il n’y a déjà pas de réseau. Seul bémol de la chambre, la clim beaucoup trop froide à notre arrivée (16° quand nous sommes arrivés). Le restaurant est d’excellente qualité - je recommande le steak de springbok, très bien grillé, avec sa sauce au vin rouge. Le personnel est adorable, très arrangeant. Nous avons fait l’expédition guidée vers Sossulsvei, qui représente un certain budget (110€ par personne) mais ce fut très agréable de déléguer la conduite sur cette longue distance, sans parler de Ronny, qui est un guide très compétent et sympathique. Nous avons bénéficié de ses connaissances, d’un petit déjeuner quelques kilomètres après l’ouverture du parc (cafe, sandwich, pommes et jus de fruit) puis d’un pique nique au déjeuner une fois sortis du parc (viande froide, salade grecque, petits légumes grillés très savoureux, œufs durs) dans un lieu d’exception très bien choisi. Si c’était à refaire, nous le referions sans hésiter une seconde.

Nice place, friendly staff. Good family room. For dinner there were only meat options but the chef was able to prepare fish which was very nice. Also the quota on internet was a bit inconvenient. But a very nice place overall also for families.
