Amazing camp on a private property, the accommodations are set in a beautiful surrounding and very comfortable. The Braai package is a must, the best we had in our 3 weeks in Namibia. We will be back! ☺️

The superior tent is a next-level experience. When we arrived, we saw warthogs and kudus. We ordered the dinner package, which included an oryx steak that we made over the fire. Must try, so so delicious.

Our stay at camp gecko was brilliant! The tents were gorgeously placed hidden behind the mountain. Beds were super comfy and the tents were rustic in a wonderful way. The host was very helpful and accomodating - the braai kit was perfectly...

Property information

Camp Gecko offers you unique accommodation with real African romance. In our tented camp you can choose between one-storey and two-storey tent "bungalows". The arrangement of the tents allows each guest to enjoy the accommodation and the surrounding nature in private and undisturbed. From your private terrace with seating you have a fantastic view over the semi-desert savannah and the waterhole that is illuminated at night. In addition to our tented camp, we offer original campsites located on a hill. Each of these campsites is individually designed and, thanks to its elevated position, also offers a great panoramic view over the entire valley. All our tents and campsites have their own private bathroom (some open air) with shower and toilet, as well as a private BBQ area. Our tents and campsites are deliberately without electricity. You are welcome to use our secure charging stations in the reception area to charge your electronics and we are happy to store chilled food in our cooling units.
