Safari House

Homestead Hospitality

Located on the Etosha Heights Private Reserve, just next to Safarihoek Lodge, this is a traditional Namibian farmhouse that’s been given the Natural Selection treatment and can be booked on an exclusive-use basis. Expect three, ensuite bedrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and sitting area inside. Outside, there’s a large veranda with a braai and plenty of outdoor seating, a firepit and a second thatched braai area, as well as a swimming pool, all amidst the luscious green gardens.

But perhaps the biggest luxury on offer at Safari House is freedom. With a private guide, vehicle and a chef all to yourself, this is a safari that’s 100% on your terms. Whether you want to look for big game early in the morning or have a leisurely start to the day, it gives you the flexibility you need, especially when it comes to families, groups of friends and adventurers looking for their very own curated itinerary experience.

Protecting Rhino

Nothwest Namibia is home to the largest free-ranging population of black rhino in the world. The monitoring and protection of these endangered animals requires a multi-faceted approach involving many stakeholders, one of them being Natural Selection. Through our anti-poaching efforts, as well as through a reintroduction programme that relocates females, we are helping with the expansion of the black rhino population in Namibia – with our long term goal of preserving these majestic creatures for future generations.

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 you can take a 6 hour drive or a 1 hour flight from Windhoek.

Open Year Round

The different seasons bring very different experiences to Etosha Heights Private Reserve, and each has its own charms and challenges. Winter (May to September) brings dry landscapes and abundant game-viewing opportunities as the dwindling waterholes slowly evaporate into the crisp, clear air, and animals congregate around them.

In contrast, summer (October to April) features brief but dramatic thunderstorms that turn the land lush and green. Higher grass and fuller waterholes make game viewing a little harder during this time of year, but you can still expect to enjoy a diverse cast of the animal kingdom.

Amazing Encounters

Wildlife

Etosha Heights Private Reserve is safari in a nutshell. Game drives will almost certainly yield sightings of lion, cheetah, eland, kudu, hartebeest and springbok, as well as Namibia’s fascinating desert species such as black-faced impala, oryx and the elusive Hartmann’s zebra. The Etosha area is also famous for its numerous waterholes and our double-tiered photography hide is ideally positioned to watch the elephant drink and splash in the water. And, if there is one animal that is iconic to this region, it’s the white rhino and Etosha Heights has a strong population of both white and black rhino.
