We stayed here for a night on the way to Etosha and it was perfect. Beautiful quiet setting with stunning view of the plateau. Great hikes around the property however due the heavy rain the tracks were hard to follow so we did the guided walks instead. We loved the food here and the service is great.

We had a wonderful time at Waterberg Wildness. We stayed in the Valley Lodge. Note that there are several different lodges all a few km apart. We enjoyed a self-hike and also did the game drive offered. It is guaranteed to see rhinos as they live within the farm/reserve itself. We also saw giraffes in the park. The plateau itself has excellent views. The evening buffet was good, although not extensive (beef and chicken and veg) because there were only 4 tables. All the staff were very helpful. The last 24km of the drive are in a gravel road which was a bit rough in places and a 4x4 is recommended to get to the lodges themselves, which is then straightforward. We did have a problem with our shower, but it was fixed within 30mins. Overall, we were delighted we chose to stay here when we were originally not sure whether to visit waterberg.

The stay was overall nice, the room is spacious, food is good!! Staff super nice. Nice activities like rhino tracking or plateau hiking. Just minor things like not clear instructions / misunderstanding with staff and jacuzzi in front of the lodge not clean and full of chlore which almost burnt the eyes of my husband.

We were very disappointed with this accommodation. The bedroom had a wooden floor which you could see daylight through and canvas walls with doors with lots of gaps. This meant that there were lots of bugs and lizards in the room. The staff were not very attentive, other than the nice lady in reception. There is nothing to do here and there was no WiFi. The room went from stiflingly hot to freezing over night. Over priced and would have preferred a tent with a tight zip rather than here. On the plus size the shower rooms were nice and bug spray was provided. However , bug spray was pointless due to the easy access for bugs to enter the bedroom.

What an amazing place. Quite remote so very peaceful. Don’t expect good internet as it’s there but slow. I went on the rhino safari and the guides were excellent very knowledgeable and we saw all of them and you’re allowed to get right up close to them. The road there is quite challenging as it’s a sand road with some flooded rivers to cross if it’s the rainy season so beware. Would definitely recommend for hiking.

Way too expensive for what you get. The meals were adequate but nothing special. No fans or AC in the room. Dinner was scheduled from 7:00-9:00 pm. Got there at 7:00 but didn’t get our first course until 7:30. Only two waitstaff for 20+ people. Internet rarely worked. No idea who at lodge was in charge. I would not recommend to family or friends.

Make sure you know whether you want to do the Plateau tour (which they don't offer or even tell you about and has to be booked directly with NWR - and has lots of great wildlife) or whether you want to tour around their conservancy (where, introduced, habituated White Rhino sightings are almost guaranteed). If you're there for two days, you can obviously do both.

The room that I booked online seemed superior from what the lodge staff gave me on arrival but I didn't mind. It was basic chalet but fitted in with the surroundings, it was clean and beds were very comfortable. The views are amazing. The food they served us was out of this world! Well presented, well served and tasty! In the middle of wilderness! With great views! And great wine! We had a problem with a car and the staff were amazing! They all tried to help and with success. Unforgettable!
