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.

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.

Good lodge in a beautiful valley of the Waterberg

I made two nice hiking tours, one with a guide to the plateau and one alone in the valley. The staff was very friendly and competent.

Best place to start Namibia travels

The first station of our trip in Namibia did exceed our expectations. The views from our "tent" as well as the "restaurant" were amazing. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. We would come again.

Would not recommend here

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.

Amazing views and guaranteed rhinos

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.

Sehr gute Unterkunft mit tollem und leckerem Essen! Der Rhino Drive bei Pedro ist nur zu empfehlen! Hier wird sehr viel Wert auf die Nashörner gelegt und viel Wissen weitervermittelt. Man sollte sich auf eine tiergeräuschereignisreiche Nacht einstellen.

Eine tolle Lodge in den roten Bergen

Eine sehr schöne Lodge (Plateau Lodge) in den roten Bergen. Nach der herausfordernden Zufahrt zur Lodge wurden wir von Werner herzlich empfangen, der auch gleich den Rhino Drive organisierte. Sehr empfehlenswerte Tour mit vielen Rhino-Begegnungen. Der Aufenthalt war der Schluss unserer Namibia-Tour und hat sich ausserordentlich gelohnt.

Mooie locatie, koud in winter

Kan een leuke ervaring zijn in de zomer als je van kamperen houdt, maar in de wintermaanden in onze opinie niet aan te raden omwille van de koude, in kamer was het s nachts rond vriespunt en geen verwarmingselement of waterkruik Ze zijn wel zeer milieubewust en lekker eten + mooie locatie
