“A highlight of our Namibian holiday”
Good home cooked food. The tents were comfortable and the bucket shower, to my surprise, was quite adequate. Our guide was knowledgeable and we both were pleased that we were persuaded to do the walks. This is a wonderful place to stay in a superb landscape. Good game viewing as well.

“Stunningly remote mountain camp in beautiful Damaraland”
A unique and seriously remote camp located deep in the magnificent mountains of Damaraland. The meeting point at Palmwag lodge and camp is great spot to swim, enjoy a cold drink and nice food and watch the desert elephants walk by. The drive in and out of Etendeka are fantastic environmental and game watching experiences. This is a very special off-grid place that only hosts up to 22 guests. The camp sits amongst a stunning landscape with a canopy of huge sky and uninterrupted starlight. All the activities are awesome, especially the hiking. The staff are wonderful, friendly and mostly local. The food is sensible - delicious, nutritious and properly portioned for minimal waste. Our tent was exactly what we expected, 2 beds with a small table, luggage space and hanging bars. The rustic outdoor bathroom included a bucket shower and surprisingly a flushing toilet! The communal campfire boasts views of the moon rising - we were there during the lunar eclipse. A short hike up the hill behind offered beautiful views of the sunset glow across the land. We have travelled extensively in southern Africa and this place is like no other.

“I would certainly recommend it but it’s not the location / concept where you stay for more than a few days.”
The location and the concept of glamping in Namibia in a beautiful part of the country. Friendly staff and the owner who shares stories during breakfast / lunch / dinner. The meals were really really tasty; everyone eats at the same time and at the same table which makes that you connect with fellow travelers.

“An extraordinary experience , wonderful to take time to sit and drink in the impressive landscape.”
We spent a blissful 3 nights at Etendeka Mountain Camp. The camps location is stunning , the tented rooming perfect . Watching the sun rise from the comfort of a cosy bed through our open tent entrance was amazing. The bucket shower , taken under a star filled sky , most memorable. The staff at Etendeka Mountain Camp were so friendly. The food yummy . The star gazing evening was most informative as were the local hikes guided by Glacius that we enjoyed during our stay at the camp . In addition it was lovely chatting informatively with other guests during the evenings.

“Just spectacular in every way!”
Everything! This place is utterly spectacular. It is managed so well with wonderful staff. The tents were well appointed and comfortable (and hot water bottles on cold nights a thoughtful touch), the outdoor bathroom clean and well functioning, guides were so knowledgeable and friendly, the food was delicious (and we appreciated the adaptation for our dietary needs), serving staff so lovely and the evening fire and company was just perfect. If you are looking for a stunning, very rural, well managed and friendly place to visit to just be out in vast nature then this is it.

“What an incredible experience from the fabulous guides to the scenery, wildlife, food and location”
We had an incredible time at Etendeka. A very special place. The staff were amazing from the owner to the guides and hospitality staff - so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area, nature and wildlife. The food was delicious and just what was needed before and after some great activities which included nature walks and drives. A unique and special place and we cannot wait to return. Thank you so much to a very special team at Etendeka.
