Otjiwa Safari Lodge

From walking into reception being welcomed by friendly faces and a refreshing cold tea the welcoming was amazing. Overall experience was great, very helpful staff. Neat and tidy facility with available towels at the swimming pool as well as umbrellas for the rainy weather, overall stay was beyond our imagination.

My husband and I were travelling Namibia in a camper van for 16 days and decided to book this for 2 nights in the middle of our travels. We were not disappointed, had a lovely room, comfortable with tea/coffee facilities and a small fridge. The shower room was gorgeous and very modern. Our room overlooked a water hole and watching the wild life right in front of us was a treat to remember. The insect noises at night time was beautiful. We opted for the breakfast and evening meal package with our room, both meals each day were lovely and thoroughly enjoyed them BUT if your fussy on your evening meals then the menu is one starter and one dessert for everyone and the choice of main is between two. So i would say its a set menu which we didn't mind as we enjoyed both nights meals. There is a vegetarian choice as I heard someone on another table ordering. I had a pamper morning, full neck and back massage booked as well as a full manicure and pedicure whilst hubby went on a bush walk. We did have an evening safari drive booked but the heavens opened and we all got very wet so we came back 10minutes after our set off, luck we did as the rain didnt stop for a while and the water hole in front of our room filled very quickly. The lounge area at reception is very comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The pool area is lovely as the wild life wonder very close for you to watch. We had a pizza around the pool area one lunch time and that was very well prepared and yummie. Would highly recommend staying here, I saw whils there they did self catering chalets too.

We stayed here on our last night in Namibia and weren't too wowed. The place caters to big groups and it is quite loud. Rooms were very spacious and comfy. Food was decent but they didn't really go out of their way to prepare us a vegan meal, despite having communicated prior to our arrival. It was ok, nothing amazing, especially for the steep price you pay. We didnt do any safari activities as we had seen so much wildlife roam freely already and this place felt more like a zoo where they feed the animals. Also, they sell a lot of animal products in the gift shop which is such a disgrace. You come here on safari to enjoy animals, not to see their skins in the gift shop.

We had a wonderful stay at the Otijwa Safari Lodge. Dinner was fantastic with its choice of game and traditional meals. The room was very clean and spacious. Our Sundowner with Eddy was extremely entertaining and the view breath taking.

We stayed for our 1st two nights at Otjiwa Safari Eagle Lodge. We booked to stay at The Nest , it offered the most perfect private location .The Nest offers great acc. for families & friends travelling together . We saw so many animals directly from the Nest and during a booked Sundowner Tour ( very knowledgeable guide ) - We chose to dine at Eagle Lodge in the evenings - great food and service. The staff were all so friendly , we would highly recommend this lodge .

We had to have an extra night in Namibia due to a flight cancellation. This place was put to me and I had no idea what it would be like but agreed. I would have liked another day to appreciate it properly. Loved the view of the waterhole from the room with no animals but many birds. Despite having neighbours, it was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed sitting out on our verandah just watching birds. We were able to hold the room till midday on departure as our flight was not until 8.00pm. A very pleasant stay and I would visit again for 2 nights.
