Overview

About Etosha Oberland Lodge

Etosha Oberland Lodge sits in a private nature reserve beside the southern boundary of Etosha National Park. Its 17 suites and three family suites look onto the savannah, with private terraces, outdoor showers and air-conditioning. The main lodge brings together a restaurant, bar and lounge around an infinity pool, while two waterholes keep wildlife watching close at hand. Full board includes local drinks, and guided Etosha safaris, bush walks, sundowner drives and wellness treatments are available at extra cost. Road access from the C38 and a private airstrip give travellers two ways to arrive.

“A comfortable base for an Etosha safari, with private terraces, waterhole views and a pool for quieter hours between outings. The separate second bedroom in the family suites adds useful space.”
