艾帕奇野生動物園旅館及 SPA(Epacha Game Lodge & Spa)

Once again, Africa did not dissapoint. Namibia is a wonderful country, and Epacha Game Lodge & Spa had a lot to do with making our stay memorable. We have tried private game reserves before in South Africa, and I can confirm that the quality of services, hospitality and the food is the same - excellent. I have read some bad reveiws of the food, and I have absolutely no idea what these guests were talking about. Those reviews are older than 5 years, so I guess the management took a lot of efforts to raise the meals to 5 stars. Their Chef knows what he is doing. I am a picky person, and I expect excellent food when staying in luxury places - and Epacha Lodge exceeded my expectations. The facilities and chalets are wonderfully decorated in a mixture of African and Victorian style, and even my husband, who is an engineer, had nothing but compliments about this property. We also visited the Eagle Tented Lodge - same, no words needed. The only "minus" in my eyes is the lack of animals we saw during the game drive, but I need to be honest - it was a short drive, on our request. We had seen animals before, and we didn't even expect anything exciting. To spot the animals, you need to pe patient and attend as many game drives as possible. Epacha does not have big cats (allthough leopards have been spotted) and you need to take this into account. They are being very honest and open about it. You are welcome to read my detailed review in my blog (link in bio).

Je n'ai pas osé mettre 1 seule étoile pour le personnel et la restauration qui méritent mieux que l'avis général de l'hôtel. Car sinon les lodges sont très vieillissants, vous êtes à la vue de tout le monde dans la douche car les brises vues arrivent au nombril et l'entretien général est à revoir. Comme tout est vieux le Wifi marche une fois sur 2. Bref je pense que le rapport qualité prix n'est pas bon du tout... cherchez vous trouverez mieux j'en suis sur. Je ne parle même pas du Manager Général qui doit penser que la qualité de l'hôtel il y a 15 ans vaut encore pour aujourd'hui, il m'a manqué de respect je lui ai signifié lors de mon feedback.

Struttura stupenda. Ottime colazione e cena, piscina molto bella.Escursione all’Etosha ben organizzata. Il personale è molto gentile, affabile e disposto ad aiutarti in ogni modo. Abbiamo avuto un piccolo inconveniente con lo scarico del WC, che è stato prontamente risolto.

Ci sono stata in questi giorni con un gruppo di colleghi. Il blasone della struttura non ha alcuna corrispondenza con la realtà dei fatti. Regna la disorganizzazione generale: chi aveva prenotato nel lodge si è ritrovato in tenda e viceversa. Laboriosi e con lunghe attese gli spostamenti in jeep tra tende e lodge. I due punti meno qualificanti: la cucina e il bar. La prima è da minimi storici: pochissime varietà e qualità di cibo, tutto insipido e pessimo. Scordatevi la frutta a cena e una sola possibilità di dolce. Il bar è ancora peggio: niente seltz e nessuna conoscenza dei cocktail basilari, anche quelli internazionalmente conosciuti. La struttura è bella ma le stelle dichiarate non corrispondono ai servizi offerti. Grande delusione.

Beautifull lodge! Super friendly staff and great activities! Specially enjoyed the claypigeon shooting with the Manager! Rooms very neat amd clean. Food was well presented and great quality! The game drive cars are super comfortable and rangers well spoken and knowledgeable.

Staying at the Epacha Game Lodge and Spa near the Etosha National Park was one of the most amazing parts of our holiday in Namibia. The lodges are absolutely amazing and are completely overshadowed by the staff who are exceptional. The managers were truly wonderful in making us welcome and it was one of the highlights of our holiday in Africa. I want to say a big thanks to all of the team at Epasha, we had the most wonderful stay and we highly recommended to anyone who is looking for a mix of relaxation by the pool and also the chance to see the wonderful animals at the nearby Etosha National Park. Epasha has a number of animals at the reserve too and how amazing to see Santiago the Giraffe outside our lodge. We highly recommend the days trips offered. The are good value for money. The food was delicious each evening and the menu really creative. We did the one day tour to the national park and also the sunset tour, which was so stunning. All the drivers were very professional and exceptionally friendly. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

First and foremost I would want to highlight the excellent and friendly staff at Epacha. From start to finish, and in all aspects of the stay, the service was impeccable. Furthermore, we got a chance to connect with the Des Nel, the general manager, which was a truly unforgettable experience. The amount of experience and passion he has for wildlife if extraordinary, and would highly recommend hearing some of his stories should the opportunity present itself. The lodge itself is fantastic, and has the right balance of seclusion and privacy, yet it still has all the key amenities and entertainment options to make for a great place to be in-between game drives. I'd definitely visit again!

We had a wonderful time here. Fantastic views, even from the pool. Top class service, good food and enjoyed the massage. There are antelope and giraffes (no predators) near the lodge, but my advice is to do the game spotting at Etosha and simply enjoy the luxurious surroundings as you relax at Epacha.

location and food: what we expected service: first evening and first morning no water in our room - thank you for the wine but still not happe safari drive: toke longer as described (the safar ends early afternoon, we arrived 6:30pm - departed 6:30)
