Otjiwa Mountain Lodge looks out over the 10,000ha private Otjiwa Reserve and in the distance the Waterberg Massif and the Omataku mountain range.
With only 5 chalets, this intimate lodge offers personal service, the very best amenities and a view that rivals some of the best in the country. You could simply check in and remain in your room for the duration of your stay. The peace and tranquility lulls you into a state of relaxation whether from your bed, a lounger on the deck or from your private plunge pool.
Private bush dinners and breakfasts make an already special offering even more special. There is also horse riding, game drives and a chance to track rhino on foot. Do as much as you want or as little as you like. The choice is yours and either way you can’t go wrong. You’ll be wishing you had more time here.
Situated about half way between Windhoek (where you are likely to arrive or depart) and Etosha National Park this is an ideal place to start or end to your holiday in Namibia.
Guided game drives (including day time, sundowner and night drives), guided walks, horse riding, Ombu Village tours to explore the local culture of the Ovaherero tribe, rhino tracking on foot and spa treatments.
The Otjiwa Lodges are deeply committed to sustainability, focusing on wildlife conservation, environmental responsibility, and supporting local communities. The reserve plays a key role in the protection of the White Rhino, with dedicated staff like William, who has spent nearly three decades tracking and caring for these endangered animals. Otjiwa's efforts also include reducing plastic waste through reusable glass water bottles and promoting alternative activities such as horseback riding, guided bicycle tours, and game walks to minimise the environmental impact of traditional game drives. Additionally, Otjiwa has established a self-sustaining food production system, growing fresh vegetables, herbs, and fruit on-site, which reduces their carbon footprint and eliminates plastic packaging. With ongoing sustainability initiatives, Otjiwa aims to provide an authentic wilderness experience while ensuring the protection of wildlife and natural resources for future generations.
