Gondwana Etosha Safari Lodge

Инсталляции действительно красивые. Там есть отличная терраса, с которой можно наблюдать красивый закат. Летние коттеджи очень красиво оформлены и функциональны. Персонал был полезным. Мы были очень разочарованы едой. Вероятно, худшее, что мы пробовали в Намибии: безвкусное, жирное мясо, хлеб, просроченный несколько дней, салат из замороженных фруктов… особенно когда вы платите дополнительно 500 человек, вы ожидаете гораздо большего качества от закусочной. Другим разочарованием стал Wi-Fi. Доступно только в вестибюле, качество было крайне низким.

Прекрасный номер в суперотеле в 10 км от главных ворот парка Этоша. Сказочные закаты и Этоша, один из величайших заповедников в мире Только жалобы… немного безличные, но неизбежные, учитывая размер и средний уровень еды.

Если у вас есть проблемы с передвижением, есть много ступенек (с поручнями), но это крутая местность. В офисе есть машина, чтобы добраться от домика msin до номеров. Персонал замечательный, особенно Накале, менеджер. Я не фанат шведского стола, который подают на завтрак и ужин. Еда была хорошей, но недостаточно горячей. Отличный душ и много горячей воды В целом, это был хороший визит.

Хорошее место для знакомства с Этошей, красиво оформленный домик, ужин / завтрак "шведский стол", отличная терраса на закате, дружелюбный персонал

We stayed at Etosha Safari Lodge for two nights at the end of March 2022 - due to it being off season, it was somewhat busier compared to other places we'd been (probably due to Etosha being very popular) but still relatively quiet. PROS We had a gorgeous room with fabulous interior design, powerful air con and power shower. Our view was pleasant (shrubbery, almost looked like a vineyard) but couldn't see any mountains. Each room was detached and had a parking space outside. If you wanted to walk up to the main hotel area there was a (lit) path, otherwise you could drive and park outside the front. The first day, we spent time at the pool overlooking the mountains which was absolutely stunning. The first evening, we spent time on the balcony, again, overlooking the mountains, to watch the sunset. They have a bar with a variety of gins (for example) and they also bring you some complimentary snacks. The view was very peaceful - no bar area music, which we loved. There is a watering hole right in front of this view but, due to it being wet season, there were no animals there. We could see some giraffes in the distance though! The second day, we did an all-day safari tour (organised by the hotel) which was great - our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and we saw lots of animals considering it was wet season! There is a lot of shrubbery and no gathering of animals at watering holes. The packed lunch was also great - lovely food and lots in there! Etosha National Park is about a 15 minute drive away from the hotel so a great location. You can also do self-driving tours but we found it more comfortable being on a tour and also you get the knowledge of the tour guide, plus probably better pictures being in an open vehicle. We were lucky, due to it being off season, that there was only 4 of us in the vehicle. The food at the lodge was great - buffet style breakfast and dinner, menu-based lunch. All lovely food and lots of choice. Finally, all staff were super friendly, hospitable and welcoming. CONS The only con is the internet is only available in the main area - HOWEVER, being in the middle of the desert this is to be expected and we actually loved being offline!

It is hard to describe that place - you have to stay there an see for yourself. We stayed in an absolutely awesome house with large opening glass doors looking out from the bedroom on the endless landscape. Dinner and breakfast were among the best we ever had. Don´t miss the sunset from the patio of the main lodge where you can also watch for wildlife at the waterholes. We hope to come back again!

The staff of Etosha Safari Lodge is its greatest asset. From the front door to the waiter and receptionist, every member of their staff is incredibly helpful, polite, and friendly. Any lodge can be stunning and offer an incredible experience, but it's the people you work with—your staff is exceptional—that really make a guest's stay unforgettable. The cuisine is excellent, and the chefs never let you down. Everything about the lodge accommodations, including the view and ambiance, was exquisite and lovely. Well done, Gondwana team.

Our experience of the lodge would have been so much better if the staff at reception would have been friendlier. They made a mistake in our booking and instead of an apology with a smile, we got annoyance and irritation. At check out the bills were all mixed up and it took a while to clear up…. Again barely a smile or apology. Otherwise the lodge is tastefully decorated and food is good. Like mentioned before, do not book if you have mobility issues as the rooms are all spread out on the ridge in one long line.
