The Lodge

Etosha Oberland Lodge

Etosha Oberland Lodge lies inside Wildland Etosha, a private nature reserve that shares around 20 km of boundary with Etosha National Park, about 8 km from Andersson Gate, the park's southern entrance. Early starts in the park are easy from here, and Okaukuejo is about 25 km away.

From the main lodge the view runs across an infinity pool to two waterholes. Both are lit after dark, so the game viewing carries on after the five-course dinner, from the lounge or the shaded seats facing the water.

The suites borrow their shape from classic safari tents, in canvas, stone and glass, and sit at the edge of a mopane woodland. Sliding doors open onto private terraces, where zebra, kudu and other game often wander past on the way to the water.
