Gondwana Canyon Lodge

Beautiful nature and setting with beautiful chalets.

Of all hotels we stayed in Namibia, this is by far the best as the bed is extremely comfortable to sleep on and the room is very cozy too. The staff here is very friendly and the food is amazing (buffet style for both breakfast and dinner). We saw a lot of stars and milky way band here as well, just slightly outside the entrance of the lodge. Definitely recommend travelers to stay here if you are here to see Fish River Canyon as it's around 20min drive from the canyon to the lodge.

The carpet in the room has a few spikey seeds/plants so we don't recommend walking around the room barefooted. Also, compared to other Gondwana lodges near Fish River Canyon, this lodge is the furthest from other 2 lodges and we almost got lost as well as the signage to the lodge is a bit small.

The food was generally great - all buffet style meals. The chalets and the grounds are magnificent - it is incredible how the chalets have been built into the rocks. The chalets are super comfortable.

The WiFi is disappointing/poor and we thought the dinner, although delicious, was overpriced.

After staying at the Gondwana Lodge in Kalahari desert, which was really disappointing, I was sceptical with this location. But it turned out to be a very pleasurable experience. The food was good (even though the main course was from a buffet without an a la cart option). The Lodges had enough space and were clean. I'm personally not a big fan of the design (tacky hobit houses in the middle of a miniature golf course in orange, blue and green light), but everyones taste is different. The pool was very beautiful and the staff extremely nice and attentive. Highlight was the morning Canyon drive by Austin. He is a great guide how explained a lot and was able to answer all our questions.

Negative point is the availability of the Wi-Fi network. The connection in the main house was extremely slow - 2 minutes for a 10sec WhatsApp video. And at the pool area it didn't work at all. In addition the doors (outer and bathroom) have to be fixed as they don't close properly. The two single beds are not really comfortable for a couple to sleep in.

Sehr schöne Lodge mit kleinen Chalets zwischen den Felsen. Alles sehr schön eingerichtet. Wir hatten ein Chalet (Nr. 26) mit Super Aussicht. Abendessen und Frühstück sind super.
