48 guests' feedbackWe had a wonderful rest. Would recommend them anytime. Everything needed is there. Thank you very much.
Fantastic place. Lovely shop (for when they take your meat off in Borswana).
Easy and fast and convenient.
The cutest place on the border. Very clean and tidy. Friendliest people and staff.
Friendly host. Friendly staff, overall a very good experience. The restaurant's pizza is divine. Very happy!
Was calm and clean. Great after a very long journey.
Had a great time in an extremely neat little house. Basic equipped. Microwave and outdoor grill and kettle. Only problem with the front door which has a large glass through which people from outside can see into the bedroom, especially at night when the light is on. A blind will address the problem.
Incredibly delicious!
Had a very friendly reception. Room was clean.
Neat combing places with friendly staff.
Very clean and neat. Quiet considering the border post is so close. Lots of mosquitoes, so screens on the windows would be great.
We were traveling through Namibia and this was the perfect stopover before crossing the border into Botswana.
We were a group of four men (brothers). Some of us are light sleepers and didn't have a good night because trucks that stop nearby during the night and others that leave again, because it is on the border of Namibia and Botswana. I myself was not disturbed by the noise of the traffic, but for a light sleeper it will not be a good experience.
Overslept 1 night to go through the border the next morning. Everything was perfect. Clean and tidy unit, friendly service with a nice breakfast in their restaurant.
East Gate is conveniently situated at Buitepos border. However, it also means that visitors hear the noise of trucks on the busy Trans Kalahari highway. It is good for a stoppver. We stayed there twice for stopovers into and out Botswana. On our return visit we unfortunately had lukewarm showers the morning of our departure which was a bit disappointing. The kitchens can be better kitted out such as adding a casserole/roaster for braais, drying cloths, insect repellent (there were lots of mozzies). Overall a comfortable stay.
No, beds are uncomfortable and kitchen facilities such as fridge, cutlery or microwave are not available.
Clean and tidy. Nice hot shower after a long day's travel. Aircon in rooms and boilers, microwave and cutlery in kitchen. Everything you need for a quick stopover. Children enjoyed the pool. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant and shop on site with petrol station next door. This was our 3rd time stopping here and there are always visible improvements on site.
Friendly staff, clean and tidy rooms. Would stay again anytime.
Wildskamp is a hidden gem and we would stay there again anytime. Host is extremely friendly and helpful. Very clean and tidy and also far from road noise in the forest.
Very clean and tidy with all the accessories you can think of!
Will visit again, very good rest camp to Namibia.
The only downside is it is right on the road and right at the border so it was fairly noisy with truck traffic going to and from the border which is open 24 hours.
The 4-sleeper cottage at East Gate Rest Camp was clean and tidy and had everything that we needed. The air conditioner worked well, and the clear pool was also great for cooling off after a long day's drive. Some reviews mentioned the traffic noise along the road to the border, but I didn't hear anything during the night!
We had a nice time. Mosquitoes just ate us up. No mesh in front of the door. Rooms incredibly warm. A fan can help. Bed very hard. Customer service was great. We got there late and they were willing to make us food and bring it to our room. Thank you very much for that.
Recommended for travelers traveling long distances through Botswana.
Was just looking for a clean bed and a hot shower - all together.
It remains a nice place to spend the night. Neat rooms with everything you need. Braai facilities, restaurant, braai packages, shop etc. Is there.
Bed is incredibly hard. Room very small. No power until sunset. No mirror in the room or a shelf or table. Grass was long and not yet cut. Was also incredibly hot. A fan can help a lot in the rooms. Bathrooms were nice and clean and plenty of hot water. Will stay there again.
After a very long and wet road through Botswana, we were able to refuel at a neat gas station right next to East Gate. We were kindly received at East Gate Rest Camp and directed to our unit. The facility is clean, safe, and quiet. There was also a night guard on duty. Although the restaurant was open until 21:00, we chose to enjoy our own food. The reviews I read beforehand complained about music from a nearby bar and the noise of the trucks at night. Although both were audible at times, it wasn't intrusive and didn't bother us at all through the night, and I always sleep light in a new place.
Friendly and prompt service. Very neat and clean. Will definitely stay here again in the future.
Rooms were neat and clean. WiFi not working in room. Food and service in restaurant was disappointing, was significantly better in the past.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Room neat and just as expected. We had a great time, the bar next to the rest camp makes a bit of noise.
Reception was excellent and the peacefulness of everyone was just out of the books.
We were looking for a place to sleep over after a day trip through Botswana - just eat, shower and sleep. For this purpose the place was suitable.
Clean and tidy, very basic, but all that is needed. The "air-cons" and pool a big plus.
Place is dirty. The place's walls are full of blood splashes as they kill the bugs. The chairs on the porch are full of spiders. The pool is dirty so you can't even cool down a bit and the bugs carry you away in the evening.
East Gate remains for us the ideal place to sleep after the long journey. Reception is friendly, chalet clean and comfortable, restaurant good.
We were grateful to be able to swim, barbecue and sleep after a day's journey from Henties Bay and were then able to embark on the next day's long journey to Pretoria.
Noise from the lorries all night, the borders are probably open all night. Loud music until early morning, small informal settlement close to the camp. Eating place can be highly recommended.
See rating.
Camping overnight in tents, grass was nice green, nice rain throughout the evening. Toilet facilities were clean.
Bedding may need replacing.
Unfortunately a shebeen within hearing distance, take ear plugs! Chalets simple but fully equipped for sleepover. Good shop. Location perfect to quickly cross border to Botswana.
Neat and clean. Very helpful.
Everything was perfect.
