Amazing views and guaranteed rhinos

We had a wonderful time at Waterberg Wildness. We stayed in the Valley Lodge. Note that there are several different lodges all a few km apart. We enjoyed a self-hike and also did the game drive offered. It is guaranteed to see rhinos as they live within the farm/reserve itself. We also saw giraffes in the park. The plateau itself has excellent views. The evening buffet was good, although not extensive (beef and chicken and veg) because there were only 4 tables. All the staff were very helpful. The last 24km of the drive are in a gravel road which was a bit rough in places and a 4x4 is recommended to get to the lodges themselves, which is then straightforward. We did have a problem with our shower, but it was fixed within 30mins. Overall, we were delighted we chose to stay here when we were originally not sure whether to visit waterberg.

Unique location with breath-taking views and awesome Rhino-project. The only minus was the meat at dinner - the game steaks were not chewable.

Best place to start Namibia travels

The first station of our trip in Namibia did exceed our expectations. The views from our "tent" as well as the "restaurant" were amazing. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. We would come again.

Great place to relax

Great place very quiet. To get the most would need to like hiking I think. We were happy to lazy around and just watch the bird life. Good food and service. The afternoon drive was also well worth it.

Amazing place

What an amazing place. Quite remote so very peaceful. Don’t expect good internet as it’s there but slow. I went on the rhino safari and the guides were excellent very knowledgeable and we saw all of them and you’re allowed to get right up close to them. The road there is quite challenging as it’s a sand road with some flooded rivers to cross if it’s the rainy season so beware. Would definitely recommend for hiking.

Way too expensive for what you get. The meals were adequate but nothing special. No fans or AC in the room. Dinner was scheduled from 7:00-9:00 pm. Got there at 7:00 but didn’t get our first course until 7:30. Only two waitstaff for 20+ people. Internet rarely worked. No idea who at lodge was in charge. I would not recommend to family or friends.

A tip on choosing your tours

Make sure you know whether you want to do the Plateau tour (which they don't offer or even tell you about and has to be booked directly with NWR - and has lots of great wildlife) or whether you want to tour around their conservancy (where, introduced, habituated White Rhino sightings are almost guaranteed). If you're there for two days, you can obviously do both.

Beautiful views, amazing staff

The room that I booked online seemed superior from what the lodge staff gave me on arrival but I didn't mind. It was basic chalet but fitted in with the surroundings, it was clean and beds were very comfortable. The views are amazing. The food they served us was out of this world! Well presented, well served and tasty! In the middle of wilderness! With great views! And great wine! We had a problem with a car and the staff were amazing! They all tried to help and with success. Unforgettable!

Tolle Lage. Der Waterberg ist eine schöne landschaftliche Abwechslung. Die Option auch mal ohne Guide herumwandern zu dürfen hat uns gut gefallen.
