Omatozu Safari Camp

Stayed for 2 nights, campsite was clean. They have a swimming pool, service was excellent. I will definitely return.

This is a very quiet place to stay as we returned from Etosha to Windhoek. The dinner was excellent, well prepared by the chef, and no complaints at all - beautifully cooked beef steaks. Breakfast was also good. We were disappointed to discover the self-drive trails referred to on the website were actually an additional expense. The website needs to make that clearer. We had arrived mid-afternoon, expecting we could then do the self-drive trails to see animals in the late afternoon, and then again the next morning before departure, but then discovered they were only available at an additional fee of $NAD400 per vehicle per day. We were not willing to pay an additional $800NAD for our intended plans, on principle, so didn't drive around the property. Having spent several days in Etosha, we felt the self-drive fees in Omatozu were unlikely to deliver many animal encounters that we had not already experienced. The farm dam is dry so there were no animals near the tented camp. We saw three springbok and one giraffe as the total wildlife experience during the 4km drive from the B1 roadway to the camp and back to the B1 the next day. A manmade waterhole is set up within the campgrounds though it's next to one specific campsite which was in use, so other campers and tented site visitors were not easily able to access that water trough to view any visiting animals. Great for that one campsite though! The tent was lovely - the floor is stone, the bathroom is brick and timber, and well-lit. There are rooftop flaps that could be opened so you could lie in bed and watch the stars and moon through the flywire netting from your bed.

Innocent and Raphael took great care of us. Omatozu was our first stop in Namibia after flying into Windhoek. It was the prefect choice to relax and recover from jet lag of flying from the U.S. The glamping tent was first class and the food was wonderful. They even brought us shearling lined hot water bottles to warm our bed in the evening. We didn't see much wildlife but there was a nice hiking trail. We would definitely recommend Omatozu.
