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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice place in the nature
The place is beautiful and with many animals, really quiet. We had a chalet far away from the main house with view to the water and animals. All was good except for the smell in chalet - like it would be newly painted and it was hard to sleep in. Prices for additional services are quite high. Otherwise everybody is very nice. They have pool area to relax, however for cleaness of the water they should take more care.

Rural escape close to Windhoek
Friendly welcome, genial atmosphere, ample accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Although all other guests and owners and management are German, my lack of the language was not a problem. Indeed the communal meal arrangements gave a homely atmosphere.

Like America's old west.
Duesternbrrok would not be for everyone. If you desire all the creature comforts then I suggest you look somewhere elae. But if you want have dinner with a rwal character who is more than happy to share his Namibia storie then this plqce is for you. It's informal dining and you just run a tab. Wonderful property. Went for a great 2 1/2 hour hike. There are many trails. If you decide this is alace you want to try, I suggest you stay a minimum of 2 nights (3 would be better), as there are a lot of activities to try.

Colonial home in the bush
i looked for something a little different than a traditional hotel in Windhoek, Namibia and came across dusternbrook safari lodge. On vacation...perhaps, but definitely not a stopover for business travels in this large country. No aircon in the rooms and only a small fan to vainly attempt to cool one down in hot and dry conditions is not conducive to much needed sleep. The shower did not drain properly which left one in a virtual paddling pool in a few minutes. The food served at dinner time was rather good, despite having to brave the daily venison on offer. Dinner is a social affair where all guests sit at a large table and eat. Unfortunately the majority of guests seem to be German and conversation was largely limited to hello and good bye and pass me the salt bitte. If youre a german tourist on a budget...this is definitely something to look at. Just keep in mind that you have approx 18 km of sand road off the main road, and 2 farm gates to open/close in both directions.

We stayed in a Double room (Point of View) at Düsternbrook 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.

Mitten in der Natur bei Windhoek
Diese Anlage ist außergewöhnlich...... man kann es einfach haben, mitten in der Natur, oder auch in der Nähe zum Swimmingpool, der Bar oder dem Restaurant bzw. Frühstücksraum. Sehr leckeres Essen zusammen mit anderen Gästen (wenn man das mag) Auch der Inhaber setzt sich dazu und erzählt etwas über die Geschichte des Hauses. Dank unseres 4 X 4 Fahrzeugs konnten wir die älteste 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 Fütterung 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 Gäste gemeinsam (an einem Tisch) ein. Wir fandenˋs gemütlich und es gab angeregte Gespräche. 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 äußerst 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: Fütterung 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 ältesten 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!!
