    This place is a great place for everyone, we were in a group of 9 and stopped here on our overland safari. The food was very good, a good variety, especially the game, and the prices were very reasonable 😁 The layout and decor both made it most memorable, even in the menu it describes the stories behind some of the items you find there, including the cars on display! It's fun, quirky and not to be missed!

    In the dry season, there is very little water in Etosha, and there are only small lotus ponds or streams. Many animals come here in groups to drink water. You can often see carnivores and herbivores drinking water side by side. This scene is really very harmonious.

    This is a very unique geological landscape, a large area of ​​white sandstone surrounded by red sand dunes. In these sand dunes, there are often dead camel thorn trees. These trees have been dead for more than 500 years, and some are even 1,000 years old. It is incredible that they can still stand here. This is all thanks to the dry climate here, which creates such a magical landscape.
