Very nice camp! An incredible view! We feel the will to do well in this camp. Everything is set up to feel good there. Clean toilets, playground, various animals (turtles, hens, etc...) and a small water point illuminated at night, where you can see oryx.

A wonderful camping site. Only a few sites, each with private ablutions and shaded kitchen area. The owner is extremely knowledge about nature and loves to teach people about the desert. You can buy meat etc here. Highly recommended.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

We stayed in the far right campsite [upon entering the lodge].
I had fairly good cell phone signal, when I put my phone next to the battery [located is on the kitchen wall, which is linked with the solar panel].

Simply an unforgettable experience, we want to come again, and stay for at least 3 days.

Very friendly owners, Boesman and Yuri.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Wonderful camp and chalet with beautiful views into the desert. Private bathroom and covered kitchen for each site. Great drinking water and hot showers. Bushman and Yuri are great hosts and filled with lots of information on the area. We stayed 2 nights and will be back!

Price still 180ppn. Liked it a lot! Would have stayed at least 2 nights chilling in our hammocks if we had the time as it was a very comfy place. There's a swimming pool but it was empty when we visited. Lots of shade under the roof shelter and they made an effort to have green trees around the campsite. Hike to the plateau located close to the sand pyramidal hill and you'll not regret the amazing views!

nice place, all as is written below.
We paid 180 NAD.
unfortunately, the zebras didn't come because there was a rain at fourty kms from here and they don't come anymore until others waterholes are dry !
but some onyx.
definitively, a pleasant place !

Secluded. Big rig friendly. Three great camp spots. Watering hole to which mountain zebras visit at dusk - a magical experience. Highly recommended.

July 28th, 2019 by Khayaonwheels

Beautiful and so quiet after the tourist madness of Sesriem. ND 150pp, very small splash pool, electricity and hot water on solar. Amazing to sit quietly and watch the gemsboks and zebras come and drink at night. Very recommended!!

What a beautiful place to camp. Spacious sites, small pool and curio shop. Lovely owners, amazing views.

Great campsite in a stunning location. Feels very remote, as you’re camping on one of 3 spots in a small canyon. We paid NAM 150 pP for camping and did a Desert Tour for a total of NAM 2,100 for 5 people. We had a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Perfect stop before visiting Sossusvlei, as he explains a lot about this area, the dunes etc. We saw Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra and the resident tortoises.

June 14th, 2019 by mariko.deziel

We arrived here at night with no reservation and there was still campsites available. Very nice owner, he is so knowledgeable and also do tours in the desert. He gave us so may recommendations!
On our way there we saw some mountain zebras but there are many coming at this place since there is a water hole near the reception.
Big campsites, with 2 private toilets and kitchen/sink area. Shared ablutions with showers and toilet close to the reception - very clean. Solar hot
water, no electricity at the campsite.

May 15th, 2019 by fernwehafrica

Wow! Great campsite in a canyon, as you drive towards it you wonder where it is and then you drove down into the canyon, it’s hidden away. Each spot is spacious with two toilets each. A nice little pool, loads of tortoises around and lots of Zebra at night. Well worth the stop!

April 19th, 2019 by 2nomads.nl

We wanted to make a reservation upfront to be sure we could get hold of campsite nr 3 since the zebras pass by very close at night this site. However finding a valid telephone number on the net proved to be difficult. Therefore here is their contact info in case you want to do the same: trlnrs +264-812943755 or +264-813374611 email [email protected]

Agree with previous comments however no internet available when we were there.

January 27th, 2019 by alihanadventures

Beautiful peaceful and hidden campsite, with clean facilities and amazing scenery. At night we loved watching the herds of Zebras come drink from their small watering hole.

Each campsite has its own toilets and kitchen area with a sink and a few counters.

We highly recommend staying here!

Price: N$150 ppn

January 17th, 2019 by willysommer

great Place to stay. nice Location in the desert. a huge Group of Zebras came by night to the waterhole for a drink. very friendly Owners. braai Packs, firewood and drinks for sell.

December 28th, 2018 by Peter & Lisa

Very nice campsite, near a riverbed. The waterhole is great; we saw lots of zebra’s. The campsite is small and is being extended with several chalets. For the rest, see below reviews. Cost is now 150 Nam$ pppn

August 7th, 2018 by info

We have been there for 2 nights an took a long day walk (alone) on one of the hills few km next to the site. It was great an we saw many more than 100 zebras and Oryx at night and day. Ask the friendly owners for a desert walk!

March 6th, 2018 by haakrd

Agree with the below. Great place: quiet, beautiful surroundings, friendly owner and cool experience to have a drink next to the watering hole while the zebras do the same. We paid NAD140 pppn

August 19th, 2017 by tomenansschaap

We are back again!! Now with friends to show them this beautiful campsite.
Big spot for 2 cars and double toilet, kitchensink and the watchdog Kitty ;-)
One negative point: You can hear the solar waterpump in the distance.
This time no other campers, so the place for us only!!
We get rewarded with the visit of many, many Hartmann Mountain Zebra's and 2 Oryx.
At night you here them walking just beside your pitch.
Staf, Frans, is very friendly and helpfull for your further plans/trips.
We recommend this place if you are in the neighbourhood.

July 28th, 2017 by dana.kenan

140 per person (280 for two people). We saw about 15 wild zebras drinking from the water hole at night. Very nice hosts.

July 3rd, 2017 by oneroadoneworld.com

Nice campsite, you have your own roof with sink and light on battery. In the night it's full of mountain zebra's price 140 pp no discounts possible if you arrive in the dark, the owner was not friendly when we asked it polite. Beer price 20 dollar for a small Tafel.

May 2nd, 2017 by Eiji

Now NAD140 pp. Ditto other descriptions. Was told that wild mountain zebras come to water tank just in front of bar. Small sign on road "camping 2 km", no gate--easy to miss. Solar powered lights at camping sites
