It falls below expectation in terms of the experience you would expect from the place. 1. Is a nice place but not wow. 2. Staff seem under paid and even though friendly the interactions could get a bit uncomfortable. 2. There is a set menu for dinner but they don't know how to cater for vegetarians even if you inform them in advance and get confirmation that they will accommodate. We stayed 2 night with 2 disappointing dinner experience. We ended up eating a larger side dish of the main me

This lodge has a few people. They only have about 20 rooms, so it is quiet. Its a nice place!

Mooie lodge, goede locatie ten opzichte van Estosha. Zwembad, lounge en buitenruimte zijn fantastisch. Kamers zijn goed maar wat mindere kwaliteit dan de gemeenschappelijke ruimtes.

The rooms were clean, albeit bare. It all seemed a bit bleak and we didn't really feel comfortable. However, even if it is nice for decoration, they have streams of water everywhere, which means there are a lot of mosquitoes there. Overall, it was very cold in the main house at dinner and breakfast, so the food got cold quickly. The food itself was ok but nothing special. The staff made an effort. What we didn't like was that the prices of the activities were different to the prices quoted afterwards.

We had a very nice rest at Emanya after 2 days in Etosha. Both dinner and breakfast were great & the staff were friendly and welcoming.

Lovely place, lovely personal, high level of service

5 star experience. Viewing spot of the water hole was nice.

Top top top ! Lieu magnifique, personnel aussi petits soins. Les repas sont très bons. La présence des animaux devant la piscine est magique. La chambre est très bien équipée et les literie excellente. En gros, on conseille vivement cet établissement.

Staff was great Pool needs maintenance

Schöne Anlage, reizendes Personal, üppiges Dinner, gutes Frühstück, Wasserloch mit vielen Tieren direkt an wunderschöner Terrasse. Nähe zu Lindquist Gate sehr gut.

Lively lodge. Modern. Very high standard. Roims very comfortable. Food very good. Lodge gas waterhole which has lots of animals at night. Close to Etosha. 30 minutes drive to park

This was probably the best stay in Namibia for us. The place was superb. The stuff excellent. Food was very good and the place was a pleasure.Not only we would recommend it, but we wold stay there again.But longer!

Very disappointed after this stay - staff let mosquitoes in our room and didn’t have a mosquito net so me and my partner were bitten numerous times after never being bitten in our two week trip to Namibia. We were served pork that was burnt on the outside and extremely undercooked on the inside resulting in food poisoning the following day. After raising our concerns with staff, no effort was made to amend this. Other accommodation in Namibia requested we have short showers to conserve water while Emanya has unnecessarily green lawns due to inappropriate sprinkler usage. Proximity to Etosha is convenient though

Initially we were abit annoyed with the insects flying all over while dining. But we know its in the middle of a forest. The place itself is newly constructed and modern, however the maintenance seemed a bit lacking. However the staff is beyond amazing. Our server Elsa was so amaazing that she made sure she remembered even the drinks and allergies of our group of 5. We celebrated our anniversary there and they were beyond excited to make a celebration possible for us. Thank you so much for that. Chalet wasn’t my style but still because of their hospitality I came to love it. Everyone else in the group loved the place already. I would encourage everyone to book this place, they make it feel like home.

Likes: The lodge has very decorative design and beautiful scenery. They even have a great watering hole that attracts zebras, giraffes, warthogs, and other animals. Dislikes: I did not like the windows on the bathroom doors that don't provide privacy, and the light shines into the bedroom and wakes the other person up. I also did not like the two gates you have to get out and open each time you enter or leave the property. There is also a set 4 course dinner menu each night, and if you don't like it, there aren't any other option around. We ended up eating snack food and drinking wine for dinner each night. And if you want to go on a guided game drive (safari), you have to book with another lodge because Emanya's truck is broken.

The setting was beautiful. We appreciated the foot spa, the great meals. The rooms were great. Keep up the great work!

The staff were exceptional and the property was spacious and quiet. Meals were good, though if you stay for more than 2 nights the menu is repeated. Some parts of the property were in need of a little upkeep and we didn’t enjoy the smoking of other guests when dining outside.

Architecture and use of space was spectacular. Service was excellent.

Excellent place to stay to visit Etosha near Namutoni. Dinner is an a la carte choice, but for vegetarians they specially prepared a different dish each evening.

Positives: The watering hole on the property attracted all sorts of wild life! Free foot massage. Lovely rooms (except for bathroom door, see below). Water running throughout property is nice. Coffee and cake midday. Cool bar. The owners were extremely helpful. Close enough to Etosha Nat'l Park to be convenient for day trips. A lovely, relaxing place. Negatives: A little too large for the number of rooms. Felt a bit more like a convention center than a quaint resort. Bathroom door was glass, so you could see into the bathroom from the bedroom, resulting in insufficient privacy. Nowhere to eat but restaurant, and food was just okay.
