Etosha Oberland Lodge

Etosha Oberland Lodge

Etosha

The lodge is located a short 10 km drive southeast of Anderson Gate and sits in a 5000-hectare private game reserve which shares a border with Etosha National Park.

The main building is surrounded by large, ancient mopane trees in a wild setting. The reception area is reached via a curved wooden walkway that leads through tall grass and around gnarled trees. There is a restaurant, bar and al fresco dining area as well as a stunning arc shaped swimming pool with a sundeck. There is even a private airstrip if you need it. Meals are usually served on the outside deck overlooking the well-frequented waterhole, with the exciting sounds of nocturnal nature as your soundtrack.

The spacious chalets have been thoughtfully located and placed so far apart and aligned so cleverly, that there is no sign of a neighbour. As a result, the rooms offer a high degree of privacy and unobstructed views of the savannah. Each one has a private sundeck with loungers and armchairs, they are all air-conditioned with a fridge, tea and coffee station, outdoor shower hidden in a tree and safe.

Spend the day on game drives where you’ll almost certainly see elephants and rhinos along with a whole host of other wildlife. In the evening grab a good book and relax on your chalet’s terrace while birds are chirping, and zebras are braying in the distance. The perfect spot to admire your special surroundings in the shade of the mopane trees.

How our Tent Ratings work

​

These are based on our personal experience of the hotel, camp or lodge and should not be compared against ratings you find elsewhere. We intend to guide you and don’t be put off by a low tent rating as some of our favourites fall into the 2 and 3-tent categories.​

​

It is also important to bear in mind that standards vary from country to country and a 4-tent hotel in South Africa cannot be compared with a 4-tent hotel in another part of the world. 

To summarise our grading system, we have considered the following.
