Mokuti Etosha

Upon entering the thatched chalet, you are "welcomed" with an immediate view of the bathroom looking out onto the strip verandah, which is a bit unexpected. However, the bathroom itself is excellent—spacious and thoughtfully designed, complete with a safety bar for added convenience. The stairs throughout the lodge are at a user-friendly, perfect height, particularly for vertically challenged people like me, making mobility easy for everyone; there are also ramps for wheelchair accessibility. The swimming pool is a fantastic feature, beautifully laid out and perfect for a long, refreshing swim, with loungers conveniently situated partly in the water and for effortless access into the water. Breakfast is delightful, offering a wide variety of options to satisfy every palate. The staff are particularly friendly and helpful, providing superb service that enhances the overall experience. Additionally, the furnishings and artworks throughout the lodge are impressive, giving it a Namibian experience, and the curio shop is good. Best of all, it is only 2km from the Namutoni Gate.

Perfect location right next to the Namutoni gate for Etosha. Staff professional and friendly. Standard room was compact, but spacious bathroom. Mini bar included. Beautiful grounds. Food was buffet for breakfast and dinner, but good quality food. Lunch is either a la carte (great) or buffet if there is a big group in. Unfortunately, we had 1 day of the lunch buffet with inedible meat offerings, I advised Reception and had a Manager seek me out the next day to apologise. Very professionally handled. Cocktails also nice. Very comfortable stay and would stay again.

The grounds were in excellent condition and the F&B restaurant very nice. Breakfast was excellent, buffet style, as was the buffet dinner - but I would have preferred an a la carte menu for dinner though. We didn’t have lunch so cannot comment . The pools and pool bar were excellent. All the staff were highly attentive …two in particular stood out: James at the pool bar (friendly, helpful and made excellent cocktails), and Christianna in the main restaurant with her constant beaming smile and ‘nothing too much trouble’ attitude. Having diesel on site was a huge bonus for self drivers like us. Internet good and having their own generator helped with the short power cut we had.

The breakfasts were excellent. Loved the freshly squeezed juices. Every single staff member was friendly helpful and professional.

Great location as so close to park and great viewing on the 12k ride to the main payment point Family room very spacious as we stayed for 6 nights so wanted space Relaxing mornings by the pool and then game drives n the afternoon Very good selection of food both for breakfast and dinner with wines sensibly priced We have been coming here since the old Kempinsky days
