Etosha Mountain Lodge

A Room with a View

Along with good wine and cheese, 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 15 years. 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 this game-rich private reserve bordering the world-famous Etosha National Park. The reserve’s animals – including black rhino – are the major attraction.  Go out in search of big cats and watch for signs of elephant on the horizon; catch all the action at the waterhole in front of camp; with top-notch guides leading the way, you’re in for an unforgettable adventure.

Protecting Rhino

We take rhino conservation extremely seriously, and the Etosha Heights team work tirelessly to safeguard the future of these iconic species. Our anti-poaching rangers are on the ground 24/7 and together we strive to preserve a safe haven for rhinos in this crucial area for biodiversity, and some of the revenue from your stay goes directly toward this goal.

Etosha Heights Private Reserve

Etosha Heights Private Reserve is one of the largest private reserves in Namibia, sharing a 65-kilometre boundary with the famous Etosha National Park. Located in the northern part of the country it offers 60,000 hectares of unspoiled wilderness, alluring landscapes and tranquillity. Dedicated to conservation and sustainable tourism practices, it is a game-rich part of Etosha without the crowds. To get to this captivating wilderness area take a 6 hour drive or a 1 hour flight from Windhoek.

Open Year Round

Etosha Mountain Lodge is open year round, with each season offering its own unique experiences and challenges. In the dry winter months from May to September, water becomes scarce and animals gather around remaining waterholes, providing excellent game viewing opportunities. During the rainy season from October to April, fresh grass sprouts and waterholes fill up, resulting in lush and captivating scenery that makes it a little harder to spot wildlife. Regardless of the season our expert guides are always up for the challenge of seeking out the game.

Accommodations

The air-conditioned chalets at Etosha Mountain Lodge are all incredibly comfortable and spacious. The eight double and twin rooms all have ensuite bathrooms, indoor showers, and enormous bathtubs, perfect for sinking into after a busy day wildlife-watching. At the family room, there’s even a private plunge pool on the veranda to take advantage of.

At the centre of camp is a bright and breezy ‘lapa’ area and under the thatch, you’ll find the restaurant and bar as well as plenty of sitting areas, just waiting for a sundowner cocktail. There’s also a well-stocked wine cellar, a curio shop and a swimming pool. And no matter where you choose to relax, the panoramas stretching ahead are magnificent; think dramatic skies, vast plains, and wildlife wandering to and fro, right in front of your eye.

Amazing Encounters

Wildlife

On first glance at the vast, imposing desert-scapes of Etosha Heights, you might be forgiven for thinking that there wasn’t very much there at all. But (happily!), you would be wrong. Hop on a game drive, and you’ll find elephant crashing through the trees, and kudu and springbok scattered across the savannah, whilst the dainty herds of antelope are never far away. And of course, such a bounteous bevy of ungulates means predators, and there are lion, cheetah and even leopard lurking in the shadows and in the hills.

If there’s one animal that dominates memories at Etosha Heights, it’s the white rhino. The endangered giants amble between the private reserve and nearby Etosha National Park, ears twitching and tails flicking, and leaving unmistakable footprints in the dust. When darkness falls, head to the waterhole and watch them come to drink for a truly spine-tingling sighting.
