Location and Etosha access
The lodge sits just outside Outjo, a gateway town to Etosha’s southern side, giving it a quiet rural setting while still being within reach of the town’s shops and fuel stations.
Accommodation and facilities
The Double or Twin Room with View is 24m² with air conditioning, a patio, terrace and attached bathroom, booked here on a half-board basis (breakfast and dinner). The lodge has an outdoor pool, restaurant, bar, family rooms, an airport shuttle, arranged game drives, mountain bike hire, and hiking.
Who this property may suit
This suits travellers who want a quieter rural base near Outjo with a range of activities beyond Etosha game drives, such as mountain biking and hiking on the property.
Planning your Etosha stay
If you don’t plan to self-drive into Etosha, ask the lodge about arranging a guided game drive, and consider mountain biking or hiking on the property as a change of pace from park visits. Fuel and supplies are worth stocking up on before heading out, since services thin out the closer you get to the park itself. See our Etosha National Park guide for more on planning gate times, self-drive routes and seasonal conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this lodge in Outjo itself or outside town?
It is about 6.2 miles outside Outjo, a rural setting rather than in the town centre.
What activities are available besides Etosha game drives?
The lodge offers mountain bike hire and hiking on the property, in addition to arranged game drives into Etosha.
When is the best time to visit for game viewing near Etosha’s southern gates?
The dry season, roughly May to October, is generally best, since animals concentrate around waterholes as surface water elsewhere dries up, making sightings more reliable close to Etosha’s southern gates.
