Namutoni Camp (Camping Area)

We stayed in the camp ground and were happy to find some grass to put our tent on. The bathroom was okay, needs some upgrading. The pool was nice and cool but had a lot of seeds and branches in that were not being cleared by staff and the staff in the restaurant bar area really didn't make us feel welcome at all when stopped in for a wine. The wild life in the park however was something wonderful.

We spent 2 nights in a double room, that was big and very nice. There was a small fridge inside. Toilet was big and very nice as well and there even was an outside shower, as in private lodge! Restaurant was good, but the choice for breakfast was quite poor. It is the less busy of the 3 main camps and I enjoyed it very much. We saw a cheetah killing a springbok just 2 km from the camp.

Namutoni is on the east side of Etosha park, and it couldn't be more different from Okaukuejo in the west. It has huge open grounds, extensive lawns, an old white fort (now abandoned), swimming pools and, of course, a waterhole (a natural one, this time) for animal viewing. There is lots of birdlife around, often noisy. The wildlife in the surrounding area, for game drives, is better too. The rooms are large and comfortable, with good air conditioning snd mosquito net, and a sunken bath/shower. A few things are a bit janky, like the front door sticks and the toilet is a bit unpredictable, but generally it is a nice to place to stay. The food was pretty good too, even the vegetarian option, and breakfast was the usual buffet with an omelette station. There is a large dining oom and plenty of outdoor seating. Service is better than at Okaukuejo, although not as good as at many other lodges we have stayed at. Internet is available at the restaurant/reception area.

After staying at Halali the night before we had very low expectations for Namutoni. But were completely surprised by the accommodation, our room was very large and bathroom enormous. The Staff in restaurant were so friendly, and food was delicious - with a choice on all courses. Lots of game in the area - would recommend staying here

Wie einige Vorredner schon schreiben, die Anlage müsste definitiv ein Upgrade erhalten. Das Fort selber wird nicht mehr mit Bar, Shop o.ä. betrieben, am Wasserloch lassen sich kaum Tiere blicken und das Personal ist mürrisch und widerwillig seinen Job zu machen. Auch ich kann nur empfehlen: n paar Meter weiter, außerhalb des Gates die Lodges aufzusuchen!

Namutoni è stata l'ultima destinazione in Etosha, veramente bello. La struttura ha chalet motlo belli, confortevoli e pulitissimi. Anche qui la pozza è un vero spettacolo basta restare li ed è safari! arrivano intere famiglie di elefanti, con tanti piccoli. Appena fuori dal cancello ci siamo imbattuti in un rinoceronte bianco che mangiava tra i cespugli a bordo strada. Che meraviglia
