The staff is amazing and really makes this place. Food was great. Room was plain but with view over the waterhole which is priceless. Easy access.

Heerlijke farm met blije mensen. S Avond dineren bij de waterplaats is super romantisch. Het eten is voortreffelijk, applaus 👏 voor kokkie . Leuke wandeling door de bush waar de sabelantilopen zich in rust zich kunnen voortplanten. Eenmaal groot dan gaan ze buiten in de echte bush, mooi project!!

Eine tolle Lodge mit einem sehr freundlichen Team und einer herzlichen Eigentümerfamilie. Das Essen war hervorragend und mit sehr viel Liebe zur Qualität zubereitet. Die Zimmer mit einem direkten Blick aif das Wasserloch sind sauber und praktisch. Beim SunDowner GameDrive mit dem Besitzer sahen wir sogar einen Geparden. Somit alles bestens und wir kommen gerne wieder.

The staff were all incredible, from front desk to dinner, all amazing. Loved this little retreat in the country, you can watch animals at the water hole from the private terrace off your room. Lovely pool area to relax in and they have a campfire in the evening with a view of the water hole. Breakfast was excellent, dinner was on the pricier side for a lodge at N$400 pp but the quality was outstanding so I was ok with it.

Schöne Lage außerhalb von Otavi. Wenn man Glück hat lassen sich Giraffen und Kudus am Wasserloch beobachten, von der Terrasse und von den Zimmern aus. Das Abendessen ist ein leckeres Buffet. Gerne wieder!

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Sehr gutes Essen. Blick auf eine Wasserstelle sorgt für hervorragende Wildbeobachtung. Achtung, im Frühling und Sommer ist mit Moskitos zu rechnen auch im Zelt. Entsprechende Vorsorge ist zu empfehlen.

Gaius Game Ranch is a unique location. You can relax and enjoy watching animals at the waterhole while drinking sundowner. We stayed there and had a peaceful evening by the fire. The people are very friendly and the campsite and bathrooms are clean. Nice pool area. I recommend it.

By the end of our namibia camping journey, we arrived a day earlier than expected and were completely blown away. We are very pleased we decided to stay two nights here. A lovely family-run ranch, we felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. The campsite was impeccable, and the bathroom was fantastic. All the details had been considered. Our kids loved lounging by the beautiful pool! We had a fantastic game drive with Harold, who was very knowledgeable, and we enjoyed seeing the baby giraffes, such a unique experience that felt entirely off the beaten track. She was extremely patient and compassionate, and our kids loved a horse ride with the hike. We loved the fantastic meal! Thank you very much. Timo was so attentive that we genuinely loved it! We could have stayed here for a week! We spent two nights here, but we could have stayed forever! On our upcoming trip to Namibia, we will undoubtedly return! Gaius is a treasure trove! That we cannot express how wonderful it is..

We stayed one night at Gaius Ranch Farm as a sleepover. This is a quiet place surrounded by mountains. We also have their own wildcard. We chose one of the two camping spots on the property. You have a private bathroom with toilet. The main building is nicely decorated, there is an honesty bar and a swimming pool with free wifi. Our stay was short, but we recommend this place.

I spent one night here as part of my gate 1 tour. The rooms are more spacious than any room we have stayed in on this trip, and the food dinner and breakfast was excellent! The grounds are beautifully landscaped and there is a water hole right behind the reception building. Our room also looked out over the water hole, but the view wasnt as good as from the campfire ring behind reception. We saw impalas, guns, springboks, and giraffes. We found that internet service in rooms in the North American backcountry was usually poor. That was also true here. We had occasional 1 bar of service in the corner of our room where the desk was. It wasnt much of a problem because the reception area had adequate signal strength.

The staff is so welcoming, professional, and they are very friendly. We were so happy when we arrived here after our journey to Taksha. We will tell you more about the places that we visit here. The place is amazing, with a pool surrounded by a jungle of plants with a view of a water hole where giraffes, oryx, and Kudu come all day long. And then, the location is amazing. After that, the owner was very friendly. Subsequently, the room is really large and clean. And then, the food was also excellent.

Modern-afrikanische Zimmer mit Terrasse auf das Wasserloch. Das Innere der Ranch ist zünftig-rustikal. Schmackhaftes Essen. Etoscha-Besuch und Spaziergänge in die Umgebung möglich sowie Game drives. Ansonsten gut zum Erholen.
