Accommodation Description

Hobatere is a mini Etosha and your own private wilderness. Set in 32,000ha of private land adjacent to the western edge of Etosha National Park, you will have all the benefits of a wildlife-rich area and you won't have to share it with anyone else.

The lodge has a thatched wing of six en suite rooms, six bungalows and a charming home-made camping ground about 45 minutes' drive from the lodge. Everything overlooks a waterhole of some kind, be it the pool, the restaurant or the rustic 'sleep-out' tree house.

Steve and Louise are your entertaining hosts and he is one of Namibia's foremost ornithologists and his knowledge of all things natural is worth testing - just to find out how little the guide books tell you.
