We stayed here for two night while exploring Etosha and we loved here. The lodge has cute huts with their own balcony etc. The amenities in the huts are basic but comfortable. We loved the location, it is less than 5mins drive from the Etosha gate which very convenient. The service and food was great as well.

Awesome
Absolutely loved our stay there. The location is great: really close to Etosha park. The bungalows were very clean, spacious, and surrounded by nature. Food is phenomenal, both dinner and breakfast buffets. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making it a wonderful experience.

The room was large and the beds were comfy. When I arrived, the AC was on in the room which was amazing since it was really hot outside. The food was ok. The staff was great! I had a flat tire and they helped me change the tire!! Really great staff!

Large room, excellent location
We stayed after two days in Etosha park, looking for somewhere close to the exit. The location is excellent, just a few km from the gate.
Our room was large, with a massive bathroom, and was very clean and functional. It had a small patio, which was nice to have an outdoor area, although not much to look at from there except trees.
The evening buffet was extensive, including meat cooked to order, and the service excellent.
The range of activities and organised drives was limited and some required a minimum of 4 people which we couldn't do as a couple. The on-site hiking trial is extremely underwhelming and delapidated, which is a shame because it has potential.
Overall, we were happy with our choice of Etosha Village but bear in mind it is an access and exit point to the park rather than a destination in and of itself.

Great value, very convenient to Etosha NP entrance
Terrific 3 night stay at Etosha Village, not the fanciest place but very comfortable, good beds, sizeable bathroom with good showers, small fridge for light snacks. Came in January/offseason so menu limited but very good breakfast, avg dinners, bar area ok, people there are very froendly and set up game drives each day in Etosha NP, location is the best aspect if this lodge as closest tp park entrance

Very nice location with great rooms near by the Anderson Gate. The tour we had with our guide trough the Etosha was great. However, you have to be very early for breakfast (clearly before 8 am) otherwise some options (eg. jam and muffins) disappear.

Convenient and relaxing stay
Very convenient and close to Anderson gate
Accommodation in chalets dispersed in the mowpani trees and feels secluded. Short walks to reception and dining areas.
Good bar and reasonable buffet dinner and breakfast. Wi-Fi very variable.
Overall good value and relaxing

Quite a nice lodge. However, the atmosphere is not nice. People in Namibia are normally so lovely, but in Etosha Village nobody really seems to be interested in the guests. The place seems very badly managed.

Amazing place
An amazing place on the edge of Etosha National Park. A collection of huts around a central place with a bar, restaurant and swimming pools. From the outside at first the hut looked quite functional - however inside it was very luxurious. We saw kudus walking around outside. It was a magical place and the staff were friendly and professional too.

Etosha Village was a perfect place for us to stage our adventures in Etosha National Park! The chalets were comfortable, the staff so welcoming and helpful, and the location superb. Just a couple of kilometers from the gate to the park, it was easy to plan our own adventures or to use one of the offered guided excursions into the park! The amenities at the lodge were excellent, including multiple pools, excellent food service, and even some wild creatures (kudu, oryx, zebra to name a few!) wandering through the property! We would definitely recommend Etosha Village to anyone looking to travel to Etosha!

Very nice tents, super big bathroom. We slept lovely. The area and pool are also really nice.
Nice area, 5 min to the Anderssom Gate!
Personal was compared to other lodges where we have been, rather practical, not really warm harted. Service could be better.
Dinner and breakfast area was rather simple, dark and simple plastic chairs (kiosk style); food was ok with a big variety.

Food was top notch and the staff were wonderful. The cottages were cleverly designed. There were two swimming pools on the premises. We were there to do safari but there were the odd shy, wild animal lurking about before we even started our safari. I highly recommend this place.

Etosha Village war mit Abstand die beste Unterkunft für uns in Namibia. Sie liegt nur vier Autominuten von einem Gate des Etosha Parks entfernt – eine super Lage. Das Gelände ist groß und sehr gepflegt. Beim Abendessen oder bei der Einfahrt begegnet einem das ein oder andere– was will man mehr? Ich habe Zöliakie und kann daher nichts vom Buffet essen. Die Unterkunft bietet jedoch nur Buffet für Frühstück und Abendessen an. Auf Nachfrage kam aber jeden Tag eine Köchin an unseren Tisch und sorgte für kontaminationsfreies Essen. Es war ein absoluter Traum. Die Häuser sind groß und sehr sauber, aber man sollte keinen Luxus erwarten. Ich kann diese Unterkunft nur jedem empfehlen.

Geräumige Zimmer, Parkmöglichkeiten direkt vor dem Haus. Allerdings lagen die Häuser etwas verstreut auf dem Gelände, sodaß man insbesondere in der Dunkelheit ein Problem hatte, seine Unterkunft zu finden.
Das Essen wurde morgens und abends im Buffetstil serviert und bot eine gute Auswahl.
Pirschfahrten in den Etosha NP konnten direkt in der Lodge zu einem moderaten Preis gebucht werden.
Alles in allem können wir das Etosha Village durchaus empfehlen, da es auch sehr nah am Anderson Gate liegt.
