Overview

Along with good wine, cheese, and the founders of Natural Selection, some things get better with age – and Etosha Mountain Lodge is one of them. Located in the exclusive Etosha Heights Private Reserve on the southwest border of Etosha National Park, the lodge has been going strong for over 10 years and we were delighted to take the reins in 2018. At the lodge, you can expect nine, classically-Namibian chalets, all with 180-degree, camera-loving panoramas of the wilderness, a beautiful main ‘lapa’ area, and a cool swimming pool for the hot African days.

The activities certainly don’t disappoint either. Think morning and afternoon game drives in the private reserve, a former hunting concession and one which we are pleased to be rehabilitating into a photographic safari area. Go out in search of big cats and watch for signs of elephant on the horizon; watch all the action at the waterhole in front of camp; hop on a night drive with some of the best guides out there; and, of course, track endangered rhino, the icons of the area.

Why You’ll Love Etosha Mountain Lodge:

Well-established, comfortable and classically Namibian in style, Etosha Mountain Lodge is the perfect place from which to discover the iconic wildlife of Etosha Heights.

With only nine chalets, this is the perfect lodge for small groups and families to book privately for the most personal of safaris.

Track endangered black and white rhino in an area that’s renowned for high populations of the elusive and majestic beasts.

Have your cameras at the ready for throngs of antelope and trumpeting herds of ellies as you game drive through the reserve. 

Enjoy the peace and solitude that comes from staying in a private reserve, far from tourist crowds – and any other people for that matter!
