Ugab Terrace Lodge

We had a great time at the campsite of Ugab Terrace Lodge. Bathrooms were spacious and clean and the staff really friendly. Although the campsite is located on the foot of the hill, it still has a nice few and just a short walk up the hill is the lodge, with a terrace offering great views of the Vingerklip and possibility for a drink.

We stayed hear for a night at the campsite on our way to Etosha National Park. The setting is incredible, perched high on a terrace overlooking the area's stunning scenery. The drive up the last few hundred meters to the lodge is not for the faint-hearted, but if that's an issue for you they will come and collect you. The welcome from the staff was wonderful; Friendly, efficient, helpful and highly professional. The three campsites are at the base of the terrace, they are well situated in a wooded area with amazing views to the East a hardstanding area, running water, a sink and waste bin. Each campsite has it's own spacious and immaculately clean bathroom.

The adventurous approach leads to the lodge, which invites a unique panoramic view into the distance. The lodges were tastefully decorated and lying out of bed there was a panoramic view immediately after waking up. The activities offered from zip line and guided walk and much more offer something for everyone. The pool is also spectacular. In addition to a good cool down, the loungers offer time for relaxation and sweeping views into the distance. All pictures describing the lodge are already posted here.

I'm going to be plain here: the campsite is simply overcharged. I had high hopes for this place but when it turned out that there's no electricity available I got quite disappointed. Lacking electricity for a campsite in Namibia is not a problem in itself - we stayed at several places without possibility of charging our devices during our trip, but those were available on half price. Shower and toilet are private and I have to admit that the view is great, but at a previous - similarly remote - campsite with private facilities, ELECTRICITY and even superior panorama we were charged less. Not to mention, that at the Ugab Terrace lodges - situated on the top of a hill with the steepest slope I ever experienced - they were able to manage to build up everything. So it kinda feels that they thought was 'campers should be happy with this and they also will be happy to pay more for the view alone'. Well, think again.

We spent a wonderful day at the campsite, three exclusive spots with private bathroom in a fantastic surrounding! Dinner up at the lodge was excellent with a stunning view! Service ist really friendly! Thumbs up!
