Overview

About Etosha Mountain Lodge

Etosha Mountain Lodge overlooks the plains and hills of Etosha Heights Private Reserve, beside the south-western boundary of Etosha National Park. Its nine air-conditioned chalets include a family suite with a private plunge pool on the veranda. The thatched main area brings together a restaurant, bar and sitting areas, with a shared pool outside. Game drives and guided walks explore a reserve known for black and white rhino, while a double-storey hide offers another way to watch wildlife. Children of all ages are welcome.

“A small lodge for travellers who want wide views and varied wildlife watching, with game drives, guided walks and a double-storey hide in a private reserve beside Etosha.”
