Etosha Oberland Lodge, on a 50 square kilometre private reserve, is another hit from the Ondili group of lodges. It’s well located to the southern park entrance gate at 12km away, of a stellar standard at a price to suit and shares a 10km border with the park itself.
Much like its sister lodge in the south of Namibia, Namib Outpost, Etosha Oberland Lodge is an elegant mix of rustic charm and tented luxury, and a more than suitable choice for accommodation compared to others in the area without pushing budget boundaries. Peacefully integrated into the dry bush savannah among large mopane trees, with two waterholes and private sundowner viewing spots, Etosha Oberland Lodge is quiet, intimate and the epitome of a safari stay in an area rife with wildlife.
The tents are secluded and spacious at approximately 75 square metres in size. Draped ceilings give an old-world safari camp feel combined with modern finishes of varied textures in stone, wood and leather. The neutral palette and light shades of green gently mirror the surrounds. Stylish and crisp, even the décor feels cooling in this otherwise hot and dry part of northern Namibia.
The main area of the lodge is welcoming and comfortable with an open-plan lobby, reception and lounge. Meals are a delight – five courses, beautifully presented and best enjoyed with a glass of wine or a whiskey around the fire.
A short drive from the park entrance gates, you can explore the wonder of Etosha National Park on your own. Take a self-drive or, if you’re staying two nights or longer, join a guided safari through the park. Being in the park all day guarantees some incredible sightings – and Etosha’s landscapes are every bit as impressive as its wildlife.
For something truly special, the lodge’s new Sundowner Drive and Bush Dinner combines the best of both worlds – a short scenic drive to a panoramic platform for drinks and snacks, followed by a gourmet dinner beside a floodlit waterhole. With lanterns glowing, grilled meats sizzling and the sounds of the bush all around, it’s an evening that captures the essence of Etosha: wild, elegant and unforgettable.
The main reason you are here is to explore the wildlife of the National Park and there’s no better way that with a lodge guide in an open safari vehicle. This is a full day safari, so pack your hat and sunscreen and a jacket for the early morning chill. Don’t forget your camera and binoculars. Entrance fees, drinks and lunch packs are included. You leave early morning as the sun comes up and you are back around 14:00pm.
*Afternoon game drives are also possible on request.
Maximum of 9 guests per vehicle. Only possible on a 2 night stay. No children under 12 years.
You can also go on a guided bush walk on the fenced reserve. See plains game and keep your eyes peeled for rhino.
