Within half-an-hour’s drive from the eastern entrance gate of the Etosha National Park, and a mere 10 kilometers from the main road, stands Etosha Aoba Lodge. This tranquil and cozy lodge is set in a Tamboti-Terminalia forest next to a dry river bed.

Experience the sights, sounds and smells of the African bush from the terrace of the lodge’s thatched, open-sided bar and dining area. It also overlooks a waterhole!

Etosha Aoba Lodge has 10 well-appointed thatched cottages, many of whose verandahs overlook the dry river bed. Tastefully furnished, they all have large twin beds with mosquito nets, en-suite bathrooms, ceiling fan and a tea / coffee machine. Completing the luxury bush experience is the 24 hour main line power (220V) system.

The lodge places great emphasis on its excellent cuisine. Home and local produce provide fresh ingredients for a variety of euro-namibian meals. Many guests comment on how they have enjoyed an evening’s feast of kudu terrine, zebra steaks or roast beef at the end of their day. Incidentally, all the cattle are raised naturally. The rainy season can yield the Omajova mushrooms. This particular type of mushroom is freshly harvested from the local termite hills. Or maybe you would prefer truffles brought from the red sand of the Kalahari in eastern Namibia?

Compliment your meal with the selection of chilled South African wines and Namibian beers available.

Etosha Aoba Lodge also provides pre-booked guided game drives into Etosha National Park and of course the traditional sundowner drives on the farm. And why not stretch your legs on one of the walking trails on the Fischers Pan Private Game Reserve?

It is not unusual to see a variety of birds, squirrels or bushbabies whilst chilling close to the pool or on the veranda. You need not wander too far from here to see antelope either!

And finally, before you head for the beaten track, tuck into the breakfast buffet! Fruits of the season, eggs to order, a variety of German style breads, home made marmalades from wild Eros plums and Marula fruits, will complete your stay at Etosha Aoba Lodge.
