Palmwag Lodge - Gondwana Collection

Fantastic campsites at the lodge. Huge spot with suberb view. You can use the facilities from the lodge, like the pools and restaurant. We did a beautiful morning walk with their guide and saw mountain zebras. Unfortunately the elephants had moved on when we were there. Highly recommended.

Amazing campsite! each campsite has its own built shower and toilet, a designated picknick place and a big shade. The place has 2 pools for the use of everybody. The rhino excursion experience was nice, we saw a rhino but it felt like the crew stopped searching after finding only one.. we hoped for searching and seeing more. The tour guide explained a lot about the rhinos and also about the plantation in the are - very interesting.

Best campsite we've been at in Namibia! Super close by the lodge's facilities and overall a great personal spot with a perfect private bathroom. We've had great food and great fun while doing the black rhino tour and during our relaxing time at the pool. Would recommend this to anyone!

Lovely location by a (currently quite dry) watering hole. No sign of the elephants that are said to frequent this. Pretty comfortable accomodation but not well sealed against insects - only some windows had screens, and one large millipede happily pottered out under the door. Nice, cheap food at the poolside bar - others reported that the good value ($20) evening buffet was excellent. Staff were OK but a little abrupt - thought it was a training issue but we visited other lodges in the Gondwana group and staff were great; maybe they were having a bad day.

We stayed at Palmwag Lodge for a couple of nights during our holiday in Namibia & were travelling with friends. Damaraland is stunningly beautiful & Palmwag Lodge in the most perfect location for elephant viewing & stunning views from all areas including our rooms. The rooms are a little tired but perfectly clean & comfortable. The location, on the banks of a nearly dried-up riverbed with the lushest of vegetation, is a perfect watering hole for elephants. We were lucky to see a huge family group in the river who meandered close by for hours. Also a lone male who emerged onto the lawn outside our rooms! The food was a buffet each night & perfectly good, but not stunning as we’ve had elsewhere in Namibia. I should add that we had to go on a waiting list for the lodge & we booked months in advance. Also the lodge is in the more basic category for Gondwana accommodation so as long as you bear this in mind you will love your stay.

The best campsite ever in our Namibia two weeks rod trip. The toilet/shower area was private for your camp only; super appreciated! Especially we didn’t have to share with anyone and the room was lockable. The afternoon sunset area for drink was amazing.; we were there two days. All the staff were very friendly; I wish to thank to Michelle and her colleagues (31st of May late shift). They made us really feel very welcomed. Besides I wish also to recommend the rhino tracking tour. I was impressed by our rhino ranger - Martinez. He was very professional and knowledgeable about his rhinos. Our guide/driver Nero for the tour was also amazing. Will recommend travelers to stop by this place.

Nice Lodge at excellent location. Restaurant has a great view, dinner was very good. We had a minor issue with our room, it was not resolved, but the staff offered us compensation what we really appreciated. Staff was overall very friendly and made our 2 night stay memorable. So we can only recommend.

Stunning natural oasis with lush vegetation and sweeping views in the midst of an otherwise barren landscape. On top of the scenery, we also saw elephants walk next to the lodge! The food was spectacular too.
