There is absolutely NO Fault to find . From the welcome of staff and cold welcome drink to the accommodation. I he staff are just such beautiful human beings , please take time to talk to them and find out about them , their lives and culture. The food is a real mix to cater for all . If you like a mixture of game meats cooked in the grill , this is the place . The pools are clean and the grounds very relaxing .. The staff all come together of an evening and sing traditional song. It is so close To the game park which is very very reasonable. I really cannot praise this lodge any more

Just great. Minor technical issues, but all solved nicely by the management. Good place to stay to visit Etosha. We tried staying over night inside the park as well, but we rather stay outside at the Toshari next time around. Buffet restaurant on site with a good selection of steaks / game steaks. Nice pools. Good bar. All over a great stay thanks to mngr. Mary Louise and her friendly staff. We will be back.

My wife and I had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay at Toshari Lodge on our way to Etosha. It is located next to the main road and within easy driving distance from the park gate. Booking in was a breeze with very friendly staff and our unit was very good, well sized with shower, basin and toilet as well as an area to prepare coffee from the equipment and complimentary sachets. Air conditioner is included and a necessity in January in Namibia and the bed is equipped with a good mosquito net. We enjoyed a trouble-free sleep. Dinner and breakfast were served buffet style at the central dining area and the items were varied and tasty including some local venison. Swimming pools and towels are available and a good place to enjoy a cold sundowner after a day's traveling. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can recommend the lodge to other travelers.

I had an incredible time at Toshari Lodge! The location is breathtaking, and the pricing is exceptional. I strongly suggest it to anyone seeking a fantastic experience! I'm planning to return and stay for at least three days next time to fully embrace the solitude, allowing myself to unwind, connect, and reset.

Dunfermline, United Kingdom791 contributions258 helpful votes
I guess this place does have a bit of character to it, but for me it was a little too spread out making it quite a long walk to my room. This was particularly difficult at night as although there is lighting I still found it hard to make out where I was going and missed my correct pathway a couple of times. It is also quite a drive out from Etosha National Park entrance so ensure you have a warm jacket and head covering for the drives in and out or the wind in the open jeep will play havoc! I did like the packed lunch though and there was an excellent variety of meats at the evening meals. Note that my room was an individual bungalow with patio doors off the bed area. This was to give views out but all it did for me was entice creepy crawlies to join me - and I hate when that happens!

Nice location, around 25 km from Anderson Gate, Etosha NP. Ambiance is nice and relaxing. Greenery and nature around. Bungalows large and well appointed albeit a bit worn. The WiFi is unfortunately very weak if at all working. Especially in the bungalow. Breakfast good. Dinner good. Especially I appreciated the grilled game the served, oryx, gnu, springbok etc. Very tasty. Staff nice. Recommended.
