Capricorn Restcamp in Q&A

Information is provided based on reviews and may contain inaccuracies.

Where is Capricorn Restcamp located, and what is nearby?

It is an excellent stopover on the way to Sossusvlei or when traveling from Windhoek to Sossusvlei. Namib-Naukluft National Park is located nearby, where hiking the Olive Trail and visiting the natural rock pools in the Naukluft Mountains are highly recommended.

Yes, parking is available at the property, with spaces located directly next to the bungalows.

How polite is the staff, and what languages do they speak?

The host, Carsten, is described as an exceptionally friendly, humble, and helpful person who is always ready to assist. He speaks German and English. Guests highlight his hospitality, informative advice about Namibia, and prompt assistance, including situations involving vehicle breakdowns where he and his assistant quickly offered help and guidance.

What dining options are offered at Capricorn Restcamp?

Guests can order dinner and breakfast prepared by the host himself, with the food described as delicious and varied. The menu has included dishes such as zebra goulash and casseroles, with special praise for the homemade bread baked in a solar oven. Breakfasts are very hearty, and packed lunch boxes are provided for those departing early. As there are no shops nearby, meals must be booked in advance.

Are drinking water and tea-making facilities provided in the room?

Drinking water from the property's own borehole is provided in the bungalows; it is of good quality and available directly from the tap. Tea and coffee-making facilities are also available in the rooms.

How reliable is the Wi-Fi at the hotel?

What condition are the rooms in, are the beds comfortable, and what are the views from the window?

How do the heating and ventilation systems work in the rooms?

For guest comfort, the bungalows are equipped with ceiling fans for cooling, as well as gas heaters and warm blankets, as winter nights can become very cold.

What amenities are provided in the rooms?

The rooms are equipped with all essentials, including bed linen and towels. Outside the bungalows, there are gas burners for making tea or coffee. Please note that electricity at the camp is generated via solar panels, so power capacity is limited: for instance, using a hairdryer may not be possible, and in case of power interruptions, it is recommended to carry a flashlight with spare batteries and a power bank.

What is the atmosphere like at the hotel?

Capricorn Restcamp features a very quiet, homely, and cozy atmosphere. However, one guest noted that evenings can occasionally be somewhat noisy when the owner has friends visiting, although advance notice was given.

Karsten was an excellent host, cooked us a couple of delicious evening meals and provided a couple of lovely packed lunches in lieu of breakfast due to our early starts. The chalet was very clean and comfortable and it was great to look out into wide dark skies and the abundant stars at night and peaceful wilderness in the morning.

We were late for reaching the camp that we originally booked near Sossusvlei and Capricorn Camp was a lifesaver.
Karsten responded quickly to our last-minute booking. He came and showed us around.
It was very nice to stay in this cozy place after a long journey.
There is a gas heater, warm blankets, place for making a fire, a spacious shower. Towels and bedding are provided.
And of course, countless stars above the property are just magical.
In the morning, we had some issues with a tire compressor and Karsten and his helper were quick to come and offer help and advice.
Thank you once again Karsten!
