Amanzi Trails River Camp | Established Campground

Agree with precedent minds. However, it’s seem the price is not the same for every body. We paid 210 $N for 2 p. Maybe an other price for European strangers …

A nice campsite right on the orange River Goos place to canoe/swim/fish and relax. Short hike to see petroglyphs from the camp. Clean ablutions, very nice team, washing machine available to use, WiFi and also mtc signal. card or cash payment.

Very nice campsite on the river, most is already said in other reviews: nice big shady spots, you can buy meat at reception, bar to buy cold drinks with good wifi, good ablutions. Recommend to hire canoes and explore the river.
Johan and Colleen couldn't be better hosts, we had an accident with one of the kids throwing up all over the rooftop tents and they did everything they could to support us, they gave us cleaning materials, we could use the water hose, they even allowed us to their washing machine. Great experience!

Nice place, friendly staff. Close to the river.
Campsitea are very private, fenced, with a braii place and a sink

We thought its a little bit expensive.

Epic place next to the river worth the money and easy to find after crossing the boarder

Was here for a couple of days when cycling up north through Namibia. I can really recommend this place! Gras on the campsites, clean Ablutions, very nice and helpful staff. Overall a great place to spend a few nights.
Payed 180 for one person and a tent per night.

We chose a place right on the river so beautiful view on the cliffs and the river and plenty of birds but old ablutions block and noise from the road. No drinkable water, only cash and campsite full! So we stayed only 1 night : 180pppn.

Beautiful campsite, very well maintained. We chose a pitch directly at the river and had great views. Canoe trip was a nice experience.

Lovely camp, safe and great with kids. Absolutely everything is cash only and we burned through quite a lot having done the half day canoeing. Very helpful and friendly management. No WiFi and no potable water. The locals drink water pumped straight from the Orange River.

Now it is 180 pppn, but still a nice place

The Orange river overflowed its banks when we visited and the lower campsite was deep under water. However, the upper campsite with lots of grass proved perfect. Service and friendly staff were impeccable. Hosts Johan and Colleen made our stay so nice that we stayed longer.
Definitely one of the best campsites we have ever visited. We will always stay over at Amanzi when we travel to Namibia.

Great spot on Nam side of orange river with large camp sites, restaurant and decent evolutions. No wifi.
Does get a little busy with large groups gathering, if you want to be on a river site - so choose site well ito noise levels. Right on the river to dip in, walk to rafting, trails. Overall good last stop to border.

It's a bit expensive campsite compared to the rest of Namibia.
Clean ablution, nice sites and just at the side of the river.

We paid N$720 for a campsite for two adults and two children.

Don’t let the drive in fool you, go in and have a look at the camp for yourself. (We we’re nearly fooled as it doesn’t look like much from the outside)

Ari (owner/manager?), rebuilt the campsite within the past two years after the floods (for anyone who has seen the photos at the reception, the floods were 1m lower than 2011!).

As someone already mentioned the campsites are very generously sized, with lush green grass and many have a view of the Orange River. After being in the wind and heat for some time, it was a welcome change to have some nice trees, grass and a bit of shelter!

We planned to only stay one night but because it was so peaceful, we stayed longer.

Price: R180pppn

Owners are wonderful and welcoming.
Highly recommend overall

Amanzi Trails River Adventures also stocks meat.
will take your order prior to arrival in Namibia (vacuum packed) and if so arranged try accommodate your "off-hours" pick ups

Gepflegter Campingplatz am Fluss, aktuell mit Renovierungsarbeiten, da alles geflutet war. 180$pP Für uns zu eng, zu laut, zu busy !

April 22nd, 2021 by Annie

lovely spot just 10km from the border. generous sized, private sites. electricity, water, bar, clean ablutions. 180ZAR pppn .

We loved that place and stayed over 2 weeks. Coleen, Johan, Ari and the team are wonderful hosts in this beautiful oasis. Canoeing on the Orange River is great fun, after that enjoy a cold drink at the bar and have a braai at your campsite with big trees giving their natural shade. 100% recommended 👍🏼.

Beautiful location camping right on the Orange River. Campsites are by far the biggest and shadiest we have had in Namibia! Nicely maintained grass sites, most come with a small lapa or trees for shade. We got the biggest site 'bee-eater' at the far end of the camp right on the river and it is huge!!!
Clean & tidy ablutions with hot water, hand soap.
Staff are great, recommend hiring kayaks for the river ($100 per kayak for the day).
Please note they do not take card payments so make sure you have cash (atm 10km away at Engen).
It can get quite windy here especially in the afternoons.
NAD170pppn, kids 120pppn
Very peaceful, safe and secure.

We were in februari the only guests and camped near the river with an fantastic view on the valley. We paid ND 340 for the site.

February 7th, 2020 by dylanjland

Lovely grassed camping sites with good shade trees. Big stands - could easily take 3-4 vehicles if required. Large ablution blocks. 2020 price now N$170 ppn. One of the hotter locations in Nam - daytime temps of 40 degrees common.

February 5th, 2020 by Van Twaan

Amanzi Trails should be called Amazing Time.
Beautiful location. Green grassy campsites overlooking the orange river. We did the canoe hire for a sun downer cruise.
Very friendly staff and Arrie is a super star who will help with trip planning or any problems. Will be back

Campsite situated in a most beautiful surrounding a the Orange river. Arnulf, one of the three owners, was present and very helpful to indicate special places in Namibia to visit. Clean sanitary, cured campsite. Paid N$ 150pppn.

July 12th, 2019 by fernwehafrica

What a place! Stunning location! Nice big spots with power. Very clean ablutions and lots of activities available. We did a half day river trip in our own kayaks without a guide for 350pp, well worth it! Very friendly and helpful staff. Note they don’t accept card or have WiFi so you need cash! MTC Signal is poor. 150pppn yo camp and bar is well stocked and one of the cheapest we have frequented in Namibia.

February 22nd, 2019 by oneworld2travel

Very nice and clean campsites, lots off shade and some have river vieuw! Clean ablutions and very friendly staff! Perfect spot befor or after crossing the vioolsdrift boarder!

Nice camping site next to the river. Very friendly people.

Great camping. Fantastic people. Clean ablutions. Chalets to rent. Awesome place to start a rowing trip down the river.

March 31st, 2018 by stravancer

Excellent camp site as said before. Worth phoning up front to reserve a site that is right at the river. Go there also if you get a site in the second row. Professionally managed, super view. 150 pp and night, valid for 2018 and 2019. Canoes in hire at excellent price. Organise canoe trips.

January 10th, 2018 by tipitom.travellerspoint.com

150 p.p now. Could not check in before 14.00 due to lawn irrigation. No moskitos though it is right at the river front. No WiFi, very weak phone signal, no Data possible

Gorgeous campsite - right on the banks of the Orange River overlooking cliffs. Perfect stopover on the way to or from the border. Sites are huge and private, with reed fencing around them and each has its own sink. Ablutions are a bit cramped but are clean. $N140pp

Amazing Campsite with very nice and big places . we had one at the banks of the Orange - River and had a wonderful view. At the Reception was a Sign- We don´t have WiFi - talk to each other- It´s a perfect stop before traveling Namibia.

February 12th, 2017 by laviedevant-leskilometresderriere.com

New rates are 140/pp and 90 per child. What makes 550 for a family of 5! To expensive!

May 10th, 2016 by Maggie in Africa

Lovely campsite with sites overlooking the Orange River. Stunning views, great facilities (ablutions, sinks, etc). The site also arranges canoe trips along the Orange and Fish rivers. N$130 per person per night.
