Waterberg Wilderness in Otjiwarongo

Wonderfull place. We stayed two nights and did the Rhino tracking what was an experience never to forget.
Tents are very warm during the day but you can refresh at the pool or at the restaurant.
Drive to the resort is an experience on its own, especially after rain. We didnt drive a 4x4.
Only thing is the internet that isnt working very well and from a private reserve you could expect better (if its possible in the Sossusvlei, it must be posiible at Waterberg).

The rhino tracking was impressive and well organised with pick up for return. Trails around the camp are very well suited for extra hiking. Staff and food was excellent.

Campsite is clean & well maintained.

We did rhino tracking on foot, guided by Werner. Note that young rhinos can be playful 😄
It may be that all guides are at the level of Werner, but he was certainly outstanding in his knowledge of birds, tracks, and plants.

Restaurant staff was courteous and flexible.

The campsite was magnificent. Bathroom good, one was very dirty but the other nice with hot water shower.
A honeybadger spiced up our life first stealing our trash bag before we managed to store it in the car as we had planned. Then it came back in the middle of the night and attacked the thrash can.
Okay, as some of us always wanted to see a honeybadger.

This Lodge actually features 4 different types of lodges. The Waterberg Wilderness Lodge has stone buildings and nice rooms. Please be aware that the double rooms do not have two beds that can be moved apart but only one large bed. The lodge is the last one in the valley placed deep inside the Waterberg Valley, so you have a fantastic view of the mountain all around. The little park area in the middle with a huge Bambus tree invites you to calm down and relax. Don't miss the Coffee and Cake in the afternoon. The cake is delicious and we found this to be a wonderful gesture of the Hotel team, when they told us we were invited to it.
We stayed here 4 years ago and came back this year, but as this place has 4 lodges, we stayed in the Plateau Lodge this year. You can read about this in the post for the Waterber Plateau Lodge. Oh, just one more thing: We found the place being just a nice when we came back.

Best stay on our trip througout Namibia. Nice hut. The staff really took care of us. Wonderful surroundings and a lot of animals. (But bring a warm sweater in winter.) I really would like to return one day.
