The room with private pool was absolutely beautiful! Food was good. Waterhole excursion was good, just the road needs some work and it’s quite a distance away. We wish we had not booked game drives prior as we ended up doing our own drive into the park, saw lots, big herds of elephant are great to see.

Our favourite hotel in Namibia!
By far the best room I stayed in in Namibia. Large, bright and luxurious, with lots of welcome extras, and the plunge pool so refreshing at the end of the day. The food was very good and the staff were tripping over themselves to offer us help. There were lots of animals at nearby watering holes. It’s relatively new and my advice would be to get there before the secret is out!

This was our second stay at the Etosha King and it wasn't as good as our first. We were very much looking forward to our stay here after a excellent experience in 2021. The rooms were just as good, the separate villas with private plunge pool are comfortable and of high quality. Our guide, Davis was also very good after we spent the morning with him in the park and afternoon at the waterhole. The difference this year was at meals and within administration, where the staff appeared under trained and under resourced. A light lunch took over a hour to arrive, drink service was very slow, our final invoice was mishandled and the property took money from my credit card for the stay that should only have been paid at departure, (which may or may not have been already refunded). Its difficult to recommend this property at this time. The park is very close and has excellent animal and birdlife. The rooms are very good with really nice views of open savannah. Apart from one shinning light at the restaurant, (the guys who brings the schnapps helped as much as possible to look after us), it feels like a very demotivated team here.

An enjoyable stay (2 nights)
Lovely room and very large bed. Really enjoyed the view of “absolutely nothing but landscape for as far as you could see” from the bed (great substitute TV) Lovely to look at but not very practical taps (waterstill running for some time after tap is closed) in the bathroom, especially as they preach about saving waterthere (and very where else). Welcome drinks in the fridge / night cap Port in the room. Private plunge pool. Very varied buffet for dinner and for breakfast (for a very few guests). Lots of attention to detail. A most enjoyable stay.

Schöne Lodge ganz im Norden des Etosha
Schöne Lodge ganz im Norden des Etosha. Etwas lange Anfahrt von Windhoek. Im grossen und Ganzen sehr schöne Lodge, liegt aber mit Sauberkeit etwas hinter der "Schwester-Lodge" Desert Grace zurück. Bei Ankunft und während dem Aufenthalt etwas klebrige Böden im Zimmer. Insektenreste im Kissenbezug, die vom Personal nicht bemerkt wurden trotz schwarzen Flecken. Haben wir dann selbst entfernt. Sonst aber sehr schöne, ökologische Anlage mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Wir möchten Hilma für Ihre freundliche Bedienung im Restaurant herzlich danken. WIFI in den Zimmern nicht brauchbar. Und im Hauptgebäude ab 21.30 Uhr auch nicht mehr und eher langsam. Betten sehr bequem und hochwertige Bettbezüge.

Eine absolut einzigartige Unterkunft mit tollem Ambiente, gutem Essen und schönen Bungalows. Leider kann der Service nicht ganz mit den Preisen mithalten und bei der Onlinebuchung muss man sich auf nicht vermeidbare Zusatzkosten gefasst machen, die nicht ersichtlich sind (Es ist nur Frühstück inkludiert, was nicht ersichtlich ist und auch überhaupt keinen Sinn macht an diesem Ort). Die Prozesse funktionieren nicht so haben wir viel Zeit damit verbracht am Ende deutlich mehr als gebucht zu zahlen. Der Unterschied zwischen Freundlichkeit und einem zuvorkommenden Service wir nicht ganz verstanden, was wirklich schade ist und das Erlebnis vor Ort negativ beeinträchtig. Dass einem nahegelegt wird, nächstes Mal direkt zu buchen statt über Expedia, sagt dann auch viel aus. Dem eigene Anspruch eines internationalen Standards zu internationalen Preisen kann also leider nicht entsprochen werden. Trotzdem eine traumhafter Ort und wenn hier ein wenig mehr in das Training der Leute und in ein modernes Serviceverständnis investiert wird, ist eine Höchstbewertung drin. So mussten wir uns doch ein wenig ärgern, dass unsere Zeit dadurch verschwendet wurde, dass viel über nicht funktionierende Prozesse gesprochen wurde und die Rechnung am Ende doch sehr hoch ausfiel in Relation zu vergleichbaren Standards in Namibia mit besserem Service.
