Andersson's Camp
Lodges near Etosha National Park
The newly-built Andersson's Camp is in the Ongava Game Reserve, situated only 4.5kms from Etosha National Park's western gate. The Reserve is dominated by Mopane woodland, whilst a low range of dolomite hills, the Ondundozonanandana Range, provide relief to the otherwise flat surrounding area.
Andersson's Camp is the ideal location for a comfortable, modern-day exploration of both the Ongava Game Reserve and Namibia's Etosha Park. The Reserve has a healthy population of both black and white rhino. Populations of the endemic Anchieta's dwarf python, striped tree squirrel and a localized subspecies of rock hyrax, can also be found here.
The resurrected farmstead is the central focus of the camp. This model of eco-sensitive lodging provides an authentic, safe and down-to-earth experience for small groups, families and independent travellers to Etosha. There is a waterhole located directly in front of the farmhouse. Strategically placed seating areas throughout the main lodge area, enable you to watch a variety of visiting game.
On either side of the main farmhouse are 20 new luxury tents. They are a mixture of calcrete stone-cladding, canvas and wood, elevated on wooden decks for a better view of the surroundings. The en-suite bathrooms, feature a uniquely designed open-air, solar-heated, private shower. Each tent has a fan, mosquito net and a tea/coffee station.
All meals and drinks are served in the restaurants lapa area. There is a breakfast buffet. Lunch and dinner can be ordered from the chef's 'a la carte' menu. Wine and dine under the stars, or have a nightcap or two around the inviting camp fire.

He travelled through Namibia in the 1840's and 50's. The gate into Etosha National Park, Andersson's Gate, which is south of Okaukuejo Rest camp, is also named after him!
