I had a mixed stay at Etosha Safari Lodge. First, the high- the sundowner deck is just incredible- an amazing view of the sunset over the valley while you enjoy a sundowner drink. This is the highlight of staying there. My advice is to go early as the deck fills up very fast. Then the rooms- reasonably comfortable, self standing room, with good furnishing. The bathroom is a bit dated and it is a combo shower/sink area so that leads to a wet floor after shower. Then, the lows- the food. Compared to the other lodges I stayed at during the visit, this was bottom of the barrel. Starting with dinner, served in a buffet style- there was no grill like other lodges and we were treated to overcooked meat stew, a precooked pile of meat and vegetables, an ok salad bar, and unexciting desserts. I was hoping breakfast would be better- but it wasn't- no egg station- just scrambled eggs (possibly powdered?), terrible coffee, even the sausage in the buffet was ruined with a sweet sauce. This hotel is really designed for tour groups, not for independent travelers- hence, I would give this a pass - with the exception of the sunset view.
