9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (15 reviews)
"It's outrageous that Aloegrove has a rating less than 5 stars! If you are driving to Etosha or back from Etosha, stop at Aloegrove, and stay two nights. Aloegrove is a decent drive off the B1, but it is more than worth it. Johan and Ivy have build a marvellous lodge with Comanding views over the surrounding countryside. The luxury suites overlook the Waterberg plateau, and have an unobstructed view from the hilltop that Alloegrove occupies. The rooms have views of the plateau from the bathroom...

The lack of rain means vegetation is less dense, and animals tend to congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. This period is ideal for those planning safaris or visits to conservation projects.

Families often find the dry season particularly good for travel. The lower humidity and reduced risk of malaria make for a more pleasant experience, especially when travelling with children. Plus, the clear skies are superb for stargazing in the evenings.

While the dry season is popular, it's also worth noting that it can be the busiest time for tourism.
