Reviews of Popa Falls Camp in Caprivi Strip Namibia

This camp has some positives but the negatives outweigh the positives. I will start with the positive, the camp is an ideal stopover, reasonable priced with stunning river views and the camp is a short walking distance to the Popa Falls.

The negative are as follows, on arrival they were not aware of our booking but we booked and paid in full a month prior, check in was slow and the reception desk was dirty with lots of paper everywhere (first impressions). There was no orientation; we didn’t know a thing about the camp, no one bothered to tell us about the facilities and services onsite and where we can find other facilities that are not available onsite. The bungalows are old and in need of some attention, the bungalows are not en-suite there is an ablution block and a communal kitchen which we were unaware of at the time of making a booking and again no one bothered to clarify this to us.
The bungalow has an outside braai area, fridge and a kettle but no kitchen utensils at all (cups and cutlery). We were booked on a bed and breakfast basis and the food was below standard, we hardly eat our breakfast it tasted awful and under cooked, dinner was provided on an additional cost but due to our bad experience during breakfast we decided to cook something for ourselves.

There is a not so convenient shop onsite which sales beverages and not basics since there is communal kitchen onsite, I thought common sense could have told them to stock up all the necessary basics but I guess common sense is not common to everyone.
