We stayed in a Double room (Point of View) at DĂŒsternbrook and very much enjoyed the tranquility and the incredible view at the pool and our room & deck. The staff are all kind, helpful and happy to answer all questions. Whilst driving to the lodge we already spotted heaps of animals like giraffes, warthogs, all kind of birds, baboons, Kudus, springboks etc., so driving slowly pays off. Breakfast was delicious and the lady servicing us was an absolute gem. We’d come back for the room, view and the animals we saw, when driving through the park by ourselves.

Could really use a good cleaning

It is the oldest private game preserve, and it shows. Wrinkled pictures in frames filled with dead bugs, the yard needs a serious clean. That being said the bar/dinner area is quite lovely. Game drive vehicles are ancient. (One hour drive is R450, which seems really steep). I stayed at one of the ‘chalets’. As basic as it gets. Choose between sweltering or being devoured by mosquitoes (how about a net?). These are about 3km from the reception along atrocious ‘roads’ and (maybe just me
.) the handrawn map got me disturbingly lost.

Mitten in der Natur bei Windhoek

Diese Anlage ist außergewöhnlich...... man kann es einfach haben, mitten in der Natur, oder auch in der NĂ€he zum Swimmingpool, der Bar oder dem Restaurant bzw. FrĂŒhstĂŒcksraum. Sehr leckeres Essen zusammen mit anderen GĂ€sten (wenn man das mag) Auch der Inhaber setzt sich dazu und erzĂ€hlt etwas ĂŒber die Geschichte des Hauses. Dank unseres 4 X 4 Fahrzeugs konnten wir die Ă€lteste Guestlodge Namibias auch gut erreichen. Es war ein sehr schöner und interessanter Aufenthalt hier.

Ein toller Aufenthalt zum Beginn unserer Rundreise (24. bis 26. November 2019) im Felsenhaus Nr.1. Ein Bungalow mit insgesamt zwei Zimmern und jeweils eigener Terrasse. Von der Terrasse ein wunderbarer Blick hinab auf den (trockenen) Flusslauf. Dort gibt es schon einige Tiere zu sehen. Gamedrive und FĂŒtterung der Geparden und des Leoparden waren ein Erlebnis. Man kann schöne Wanderungen unternehmen- sollte sich aber selbst (!) gut an der Rezeption informieren. Sonst steht man womöglich unvermittelt vor den Nilpferden. Am Hippopool befinden sich auch zwei Chalets. Diese sind ca 5 km vom Farmhaus entfernt und liegen wirklich in der Wildnis. Dorthin sollte man nur mit einem guten 4X4 Auto fahren. Das (wirklich sehr leckere) Abendessen nehmen die GĂ€ste gemeinsam (an einem Tisch) ein. Wir fandenˋs gemĂŒtlich und es gab angeregte GesprĂ€che. Der Hausherr gesellte sich nach dem Essen dazu. So erfuhr man u.a. allerlei interessantes zum Leben auf der Farm. Uns gefiel besonders die authentische Stimmung und der Umgang mit den durchweg Ă€ußerst freundlichen und zuvorkommenden Menschen auf der Farm.

Afrikanische Tierwelt hautnah

Die ganze afrikanische Tierwelt auf einer Farm!!! Hippos, Rhinos, Giraffen, Elen-Antilopen, Oryx und und und. Bei Wanderungen oder durch Fahrt auf eigene Faust zum Hippo-See selbst entdecken oder per Jeep-Safari. Ein Muss: FĂŒtterung von Leoparden und Geparden, hautnah, ohne Zaun dazwischen. Reitpferde, aber auch freilebende Pferde, die sich bei der Farm aufhalten. Rodney, klasse gemacht. Sehr interessant mit Farmbesitzer Johann zu reden. Duesternbrook ist eine der Ă€ltesten Farmen Namibias. Toller Blick von den Felsenhaus-Zimmern auf das Flussbett. Einfach super zum Einstieg oder noch besser am Ende der Reise. Wir waren am Ende unserer Reise geflasht, obwohl wir schon so viele Tierbegegnungen erlebt hatten: man kommt den Tieren, die die Menschen gewohnt sind und daher nicht sehr scheu sind, ungewöhnlich nah!!

Arrived at around 1:30 pm expecting to be able to get a bar snack to tie us over till dinner based on experience from a visit 15 years previously. But no food available till 7:30 pm. The logical thing to do was to drive 18km back up the road, cross the B1 and visit Okapuka Ranch which offers excellent food, drinks and accommodation at reasonable prices. And superior game drives. I won't be revisiting Dusternbrook again. There is a much better option if you turn right instead of left as you travel north from Windhoek.

We stayed there for one night and got the hippo 1 as a closer alternative to the chalet we had booked. The nature was really nice and we enjoyed the game drive in the evening with a nice guide. All in all, the farm and its accomodations/ facilities are a bit rundown. The pool for example is not clean and the loungers pretty old and uncomfortable. Dinner and breakfast were okay but not more. Staff is barely seen and we missed real hospitality. All in all, it is close to the airport but we know much better lodges.

Unsere Nacht in der DĂŒsternbrook Farm hat uns sehr gefallen. Schon auf dem Weg zur Farm haben wir viele Tiere gesehen und haben das sehr genossen. Die WassergrĂ€ben unterwegs waren eine kleine Herausforferung fĂŒr unseren Wagen. Aber es ist es wert. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, insbesondere bei der Cats-Tour. Bringt also unbedingt etwas Zeit mit, um die Cats-Tour zu machen und die Umgebung zu erkunden.

good well located quiet chalet

We have used Duesternbrook lodge at the first and last night of our stay in Namibia. We did not use the lodge but a chalet, a few km.s away. The Chalet Hippo 2 is simple but really very good. Clean, good warm water, solar lighting and an excellent fire pit and bbq spot with view over the lake. One can even sit on the roof. No complaints about the chalet. The lodge was used by us for dinner and breakfast. Both are quite pricey. The dinner is a common dinner and you basically share table. Be one time! The service during breakfast and dinner is very bad. All staff seem to hide in the kitchen, so if for instance bread runs out, you have to go and find them! Food is good, but not excellent. On the last night we decided better not to join the shared dinner and make dinner ourselves, while w could hear, but not see, that the five hippos were coming around us to shore to have their vegetarian dinner. Summarized: Chalets recommended, restaurant not recommended.

Levde inte upp till det som utlovades

Vi lĂ€ste pĂ„ Hotel.com om DĂŒsternbrook Guest Farm och tyckte det lĂ€t intressant. Vi bokade rum för 2 nĂ€tter men lĂ€mnade redan efter första natten. Det visade sig att det rum som vi bokat var en charlot (lĂ€s stenhydda) som lĂ„g 5 km frĂ„n huvudbyggnaden. VĂ€gen dit var en grusvĂ€g och det var tur att vi hade en hög 4 hjulsdriven bil. Det var ok att köra dit pĂ„ dagen men lite vĂ€rre pĂ„ kvĂ€llen dĂ„ det var mörkt ute. BekvĂ€mligheterna i charloten var toalett och dusch. Elen var ett bilbatteri som drev 3 smĂ„ lampor. NĂ€r vi kom tillbaka efter middagen pĂ„ kvĂ€llen var hyddan extremt varm vilket gjorde det svĂ„rt att sova. PĂ„ vĂ€ggen satt 3 st ödlor sĂ„ Ă€r man rĂ€dd för smĂ„kryp ska man inte bo hĂ€r. Middagen pĂ„ kvĂ€llen serverades i huvudbyggnaden och vid vĂ„rt bord satt Ă€garinnan och nĂ„gon anhörig till henne, 4 tyska gĂ€ster samt jag och min man. DĂ„ vi inte talar tyska hade vi ingen möjlighet att delta i konversation runt bordet. Ägarinnan var nonchalant och försökte inte involvera oss pĂ„ nĂ„got sĂ€tt. De bilder som finns pĂ„ Hotel.com stĂ€mmer inte med verkligheten. Poolen Ă€r inte frĂ€sch, solsĂ€ngarna med till madrasser har sett sina bĂ€sta dagar för flera Ă„r sedan. NĂ„gra bilder frĂ„n charloten finns inte, bara fina bilder frĂ„n rummen i huvudbyggnaden. Enda behĂ„llningen för oss frĂ„n detta stĂ€lle Ă€r att vi sĂ„g giraffer och gnuer pĂ„ vĂ€gen till huvudbyggnaden. VĂ„rt rĂ„d Ă€r: kan du tyska perfekt och vill bo i ödemarken bland smĂ„kryp Ă€r detta stĂ€llet för dig, till er andra: hitta ett bĂ€ttre stĂ€lle.

Complete disregard for our safety

Before flying to Windhoek I called Dustenbrook to advise we would arrive late and to ask directions. Nobody could help me over the phone. On arrival Bidvest, Wilderness and I tried calling, no answer, it was late and I was travelling on my own with 2 children aged 6 and 10, I set the GPS for Okhandja hoping I would see a sign. After 70km, in pitch darkness and heavy road works, I was about to turn back to Windhoek I saw the Dusternbrook sign, in through a Poultry Farm. The security guard opened the gate, I could not see any signs, it was total darkness and he told me to go straight. New to Namibian roads, been in the country for 2 hours, I headed off on the gravel road, for what seemed like ages. I arrived at a closed gate, no sign for Dusternbrook, so I kept on the road as it bore right. After a few minutes of the road narrowing and getting sandy, I decided I will turn around, and couldnt, I was stuck in Sand. Tried calling, no answer, my children crying. Around 9.30pm I got through and advised Dustenbrook I was stuck. I was picked up around 11pm. In the morning, in front of guests, Johan the very rude owner advised me it was my fault I got stuck and I must find my own way out the sand. I called Zenia at Bidvest who was shocked no-one would help me, she called Johan, he told her he called his lawyer and will not help us. Bidvest came from Okhandja to push us out the sand. At dinner that night Johan never asked if we were ok. They charged us for rescuing us at nite.
