Just an all around exceptional lodge. Long drive to and from so spend two nights.

The view from the lodge was nice, though I don’t think it was worth the extremely long drive to get there (the detour to this lodge added 3 days to our itinerary). I was disappointed by the guided full-day hike into the canyon. The guided hike had a large (and very loud) group of about 10 people, and the guide Fillamon didn’t speak much English so he didn’t really tell us any interesting facts about the canyon or anything else. He also walked much too fast, not pausing for enough breaks. The guided hike has almost no good views as you hike deeper into the canyon; that’s the problem with downhill hikes. The sundowner was similarly crowded with loud people (a group of at least 20), which really detracted from the nature experience. We didn’t experience that many crowds anywhere else in Namibia. However, you can do some self-guided hikes along the rim of the canyon, and that was nice. I wish they just allowed you to hike into the canyon without a guide; I don’t really feel like you need a guide for it if they’d just provide a map, so it’s frustrating that you’re not allowed to do it without a guide.

The Lodge is situated on the edge of the canyon with spectacular views. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with a nice big shower, however, the shower head fixture had been fixed with a finger plaster and was shooting water out in all directions. The food is ok, not great, and I would have expected a higher quality at a lodge in this price range.

Great location obviously sitting right on the rim. Good food and wide selection of drinks. Good service. Strange you don’t get a Wi-Fi voucher for each night stay as we ran out on final night of our 2 nights. Appreciate you can buy more access but really for a hotel of this standard you should get one voucher per night. Trip into canyon worth doing, whilst it’s a full day and on some bumpy roads, to be able to get to swim and lunch near the bottom was a special experience.

The lodge is amazingly beautiful. What a view! And the staff is so friendly.

Not an easy place to get to, but the view makes the drive worthwhile. We had a puncture just before the 20km turn off, but when we arrived, all hot & bothered, we were greeted with a smile, a cold flannel & a welcome drink. We were assured that our tyre would be fixed & it was, at no charge! Great customer service. We did the tour into the canyon, where Daniel exhibited incredible driving skills. Enjoyable trip, but very hot. The only negative was the lack of air conditioning in the room. When the temperature has been 40 all day a fan is not adequate.

The view is just unbelievable. You cannot stay anywhere but this place. Absolutely a fantastic experience.

The views, the friendliness of the staff, the food... memorable experience

The canyon views are breathtaking. Rooms are great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is delicious. This is a 5 star lodge in a very remote part of the world. Well worth the effort it takes to get there!

View is unbelievable
