Safaris in Etosha National Park and guided bush walks
The activities at Etosha Oberland Lodge primarily focus on game drives within Etosha National Park, as well as guided bush walks.
Game drives take place within Etosha National Park, a 10km drive from Etosha Oberland. Explore this vast, biodiverse terrain at a leisurely pace, with opportunities to encounter all the most popular species, including elephant, giraffe, lion, and zebra. You’ll depart from the lodge after an early breakfast with your experienced safari guide, embarking on a full-day excursion with a picnic lunch. Please be aware that the minimum age to join this activity is 12 years. There should also be at least two guests, or a surcharge will apply.
Guided bush walks allow guests to uncover all the finer details of this land, with its extraordinarily varied flora and fauna. You’ll learn about local plants and their traditional medicinal use, identify different birds, catch glimpses of colourful butterflies and tiny reptiles, and scan the ground for fresh animal tracks. These are all the things you won’t see so easily from a game drive vehicle, but are a vital part of the ecosystem.
Etosha Oberland Lodge is located approximately 440km from Windhoek International Airport and 10km from Etosha National Park’s Andersson Gate. Guests usually fly to Ongava Airport, followed by a 30-minute drive, or take a private flight to the Etosha Oberland airstrip.
Set among ancient mopane trees, the airy, thatched communal spaces at Etosha Oberland Lodge are every inch the classic safari style.
The roomy lounge and bar open onto a deck and swimming pool, overlooking two active waterholes. While the indoor dining room offers plenty of space, meals are frequently served outdoors on the patio, taking full advantage of the glorious blue skies and sunshine. As evening approaches, private sundowner spots are the perfect way to watch the landscape transform with an ice-cold gin and tonic. On cooler nights, relax in the cozy indoor lounge where the crackling fireplace beckons, before gathering in the dining room for a delicious five-course meal. Finally, don’t forget to stock up on mementoes from the lodge curio shop.
Etosha Oberland Lodge features 17 semi-tented suites and three 2-bedroom family residences, spaced across the savanna to ensure total privacy.
Elevated on wooden platforms among shady mopane trees, the suites utilize floor-to-ceiling glass and spacious terraces to maximise views of the surrounding wilderness. Each unit includes a private lounge, air conditioning, and a king-sized bed draped in mosquito netting, along with essentials such as a mini-bar, a digital safe, and a tea-and-coffee station. The en-suite bathrooms are characterised by large walk-in rain showers and private outdoor showers accessed via sliding doors. On the viewing decks, loungers and armchairs provide ample space for quiet observation of the surrounding landscape. Finally, the two-bedroom suites have a shared bathroom layout, ideal for families travelling with children.
