Etosha Aoba Lodge

Lodges near Etosha National Park

Etosha Aoba Lodge is situated near Etosha National Park in a Tamboti-Terminalia forest next to a dry river bed. Guided game drives into Etosha National Park or sundowner drives on the farm are available if pre-booked. There are also walking trails on the Fischers Pan Private Game Reserve which you can take at your leisure. Even if you are staying close to the pool or on the veranda, you are likely to see bushbabies, birds and squirrels, and you need not wander far for the chance to see antelope.

The bar and dining area at Etosha Aoba, is under a thatched roof with open sides, so as you dine you will be able to absorb the sights, sounds and smells of the African bush. The bungalows are thatched, and are widely spaced to allow for some privacy. They are tastefully furnished and all have twin beds with mosquito nets, a ceiling fan, en-suite bathrooms and private terrace.

Etosha Aoba Lodge has ten well-appointed thatched cottages have large twin beds and offer such comforts as shower, ceiling fan and a tea / coffee machine. Relax on your own verandah and enjoy nature. Main line power (220V) in the middle of the bush completes the luxury.

Great emphasis is places on excellent cuisine, home grown and local produce provide fresh ingredients for a variety of euro-namibian meals. "Home grown" game and beef is served, meals may include kudu terrine, zebra steaks or roast beef from cattle raised naturally. If the rains have been good to us there may be Omajova mushrooms which are freshly harvested from the termite hills in the area or Kalahari truffles brought from the red sand of the Kalahari in eastern Namibia.

A good selection of south African wines is available at reasonable prices to enhance the delicious dinner and of course the excellent beers of Namibia are well chilled and waiting! The breakfast buffet includes fruits of the season, eggs to order, a variety of German style breads and home made marmalades from wild Eros plums and Marula fruits.

Activities

• There are 3 easy walks of 4km, 8km or 12km length which can be walked at leisure (when no lion are present! ). A nature walk starting at Etosha Aoba Lodge gives an introduction to the botany of the area and leads to a waterhole with a hide.
  
• Hides at 3 other waterholes offer good game-viewing and bird-watching opportunities. Have yourself driven to one and stay there alone for a few hours watching game and birds.
• In the late afternoon join a small group on a "Sundowner" drive in an open Landrover. The drive offers game-viewing opportunities and reaches it's highlight at the edge of Fischer's Pan when drinks are served as the sun sets over the endless plain. Perhaps one can hear the roar of lion or maybe towards the end of the rainy season flamingos might cross overhead on their way back to the coast.
  
• In the late afternoon join a small group in an open Landrover and spot some Springbok, Zebra or Gnu en route to a magnificent sundowner. Or just sit patiently in a hide at one of the waterholes. There are several water holes to choose from:
  
  • A high tower at Palm Springs waterhole with magnificent panorama views towards the Pan and Makalani Palms framing the view
    
  • A small treehouse at Leo's Drink with close surrounds of trees and bush.
    
  • A thatched hide at Vulture's Rest in a bush environment
    
  • One can be driven to each of these hides and dropped off with a cool box for several hours.
    
  • A further hide is just a 10 minute walk from the Lodge.
    
• If you wish to observe birds at one of the waterholes, you can be driven there and dropped off with a cool box for several hours.
