Roy's Rest Camp Roys Rest Camp

We had planned to upgrade instead of camping in a tent. However, after seeing our guide subjected to the most egregious racism, we changed our minds. The resort is fine, but I would never go back. It is well located for local places of interest, especially the village of the San people.

Always a great experience coming to Roy's, warm welcome, cold beer, lovely rustic rooms, good food, friendly service. Roy's is always our go-to stopover! The damara dik-dikkies is always nice to see and the bush-babies visiting at night an absolute bonus!

The campsite is nice and good value for money. Unfortunately we had booked a room thinking (wrongly) that we would get Wi-Fi to download photos. 2688 N$ for a small room, meal (no alcohol) & breakfast was vastly over expensive. It is old, the bathroom was dirty, no chairs to sit outside and the outside light did not work. Food was passible and staff could try smiling. No wonder the rooms were empty.

Terrible reception very rude and wi fi is also very terrible and they are rude to the guests. No two point plugs in rooms. Rooms doors has wholes in it for insects and snakes to come in. No guidance when you ask for help just terrable. No soap. In toilets at cp sites to wash your hands. No place to sit at camp sites no shade no help if you ask for help they are extremely rude. The whole place have s very bad atmosphere. Not a place where you can relax.

Great lodge, we stayed in a bungalow, which was great. Lots of lovely dik diks and a lovely visit from some bush babies at dinner. Great buffet and breakfast. Highly recommended.

A fantastic looking place and quirky room designs.
Unfortunately, poor management.
Breakfast opens at 7.30am, yet we saw 3 staff members standing in the restaurant with nothing to do!
There is only a small area with Wi Fi, it’s outside and a very weak signal.
We were on a bus thrip, it was somebody’s birthday, we sang happy birthday, then our host briefly put on some African celebration music on, not loud at all. Immediately, a staff me approached us and insisted we turn the music off, he was concerned about other campers! There was virtually nobody around!
Then, if you want to wash your clothes, you aren’t allowed to hang them up outside your room!
Unbelievable…
I would still recommend visiting and having a drink. With good management, this place would be fantastic.

A very nice campsite. Dikdiks are around and so are many different birds. Each campsite is large with enough space and trees.

We camped at Roy’s for 2 nights. Simply a great experience. The staff are super friendly and the facilities well thought out and super clean. And if you’re a birder, yes, the Black-faced Babblers are right there in the camp.

We had an amazing stopover at Roy’s Camp on our way from Etosha to Maun.
It is a lovely place with very kind people and amazing food.
Thank you!

Great camp that we stumbled upon while driving from Etosha to Divundu. The facilities are nicely kept and the restaurant/bar area is really nice and coasy. They have a water hole and in the camp there are some dik-dik, rabbits and guineafowls walking around. Showers hve hot water, camping sites have electricity and a place for bray. The only problem was that camp is located close to a busy road and you can hear cars during the night but the camp is still one of the best we have been to in Namibia.

Roy's Rest camp, a real Walhalla for technicians and engineers, just to experience this strange but beautiful place in the middle of nowhere… Find your rest here, and enjoy the good food from a wonderful kitchen!

I used camper space but out of all my rest camps this one worked. Quiet, had everything in place. Special laundry area and line was bonus. Wifi worked too. Small pool to cool off in and bar. Grounds were more grass and not dusty sand. Quirky art work.

Wow! What a great place. We camped and the campsite was so clean. Very neatly put together. Showers are amazing, very clean, and have decent water. The breakfast was amazing. Full buffet was served. Bacon was absolutely perfect. The staff is so well behaved and so friendly. Thank you for a great stay. Will visit again when we go this route.

This place was a pleasant suprise. If you get the chance — stay here. It is perfectly positioned when on the way north.
The campsites are perfect. The bathrooms are clean. Don't worry about the height of the doors, one cannot look in even if it seems so.
The pool area was build with a lot of love and everything else looks like that to. The staff is very friendly.

The hide in front of the water hole is the best place to hang around in the afternoon or morning. Plenty of birds and mamals to be seen there.
The cabins are comfortable though a bit more lighting in the bathroom would be welcome. Meals are delicious.

We had an overnight stop here. Perfect for us. Rustic rooms, nicely done. All comfortable.
The food was good. The dining area and bar are great. The evening we were there, two bushbabies entertained us for a short while.

Such a great experience. It has a quirky design through out the lodge, including the rooms…but definitely in a good way. I loved my room. I loved the staff. They were all so friendly. Geraldine was a real treat to meet as she went the extra mile to make me feel welcome — she even added the color to my carving on the bar (yes, they let you carve things in the bar). This was a touching addition as the engraving was in honor of my beloved late wife Susan. I would stay here again without hesitation. I would even plan my route through this area just to stay here and enjoy the peace, comfort, and staff. A real five-star experience for me!
