Friendly efficient staff. Simple but GREAT breakfast buffet and the dinner buffet a must have. If tranquility, peace and quiet is what you are looking for, this is the place to go. Just disappointed that we didn't get to see 'Spotty'.

After havering whether to stay inside or outside the Etosha Pan, the lack of friendliness of the NWR (Namibian Wildlife Resort) staff pushed us in the direction of Etosha Village and we did not regret it. The tents are basic but with aircon and everything you need is there. Even when not self-catering the fridge is switched on to cool... More

Taleni Etosha Village exceeded all our expectations and we were sorry to leave, as each bit of our stay was a taste of Africa at her most basic while living in superbly comfortable tented accommodation. We slept with nothing but the mosquito guards beween us and the night sky. In the early morning hours it rained and the gentle pulsing... More

Etosha Village is wonderful, with great tented accomodations, nice pools and friendly staff. it was the buffet we had one of the nights we stayed that was for me the highlight.

Simple but with style are all tented-rooms, with aircon, comfortable beds, enough storage-facilities and best, simple clear architecture - the bathroom is located outside of the tent, which are all about 2 m over the earth, so no-little-sneaking-neighbours on 4 feet can disturb your privacy - they even provide bathroom-amenities, great! there are braais to each tent provided and a...

After a full day in Etosha seeing all of the animals in number and often in close-up we thought that on leaving the Anderson gate we had had all of the notable things for the day - wrong!

Taleni Etosha Village is a unique experience to start your game drives in Etosha. The tents are spacy and clean with a own braai area. I love the "open-air-shower".
