Lodges in Otjiwarongo

We loved the place. We were upgraded to the bushcamp for free, that was a pleasant surprise but I can’t really comment on the plains camp. The activities however were really good. We loved the leopard tracking. Even though the leopards have a radio collar, tracking them is not as easy as I thought and is quite fun. The gamedrive lets you also see many other animals, including springboks, zebras, giraffes, impalas, wartdog, orix, mangoose, birds… Also, the visit to the AfriCat carnivore center was really interesting, we had a feeling they really care for their animals and conservation efforts. Both dinner and breakfast were amazing!

We chose Aloegrove to relax for a couple of nights after our 1,800 mile tour of Namibia. The communication with the hosts Johan and Ivy was fabulous during the booking process. The lodge is a good 20 mins along a track, well signposted, and by this point we were used to Namibian roads, so the uneven bits were no surprise. We were greeted by staff and showed our fabulous accommodation, spacious and the attention to detail was brilliant, bubble bath for the bath with a spectacular view, beautiful quality bed linen, ground coffee etc etc etc... Everything is there that you could need! We self catered for the first night with the indoor braai, we ate at the lodge the second night, the chef made a beautiful meal and fantastic breakfast with scrambled ostrich egg. Afternoon coffee and cake is also a real treat. we joined Johan and Ivy's tour of their farm and feeding their rescued big cats. So informative about the all the animals. I highly recommend the tour, it was great fun and we learnt lots. Johan, Ivy and their lovely staff cannot do enough for the guests. On our last morning we sat down with a map with them and planned our net trip to Namibia, they shared their knowledge of the best routes and places to travel to, of course we will start and finish with a stay at Aloegrove! We stayed is some lovely places on our journey but nothing matched the luxurious experience at Aloegrove.

The dinner was very good. Nice to relax on the deck watching over the water hole.

We spent only 1 night there on our way back from Etosha. If I had to do it again, I would spend 1 or 2 more nights to enjoy the private reserve a little more. In addition to the wildlife, the views are really nice, red sand, mountains, Waterberg in the distance... Nice breakfast and restaurant in the evening. Staff was really firendly and helpful, as almost everywhere in Namibia, thank you ! The morning game is a must do !

Good location, nice and very clean rooms, fantastic service and staff

Nice stopover to see the cheetahs. Room an diner was very good. Staff friendly and helpful
