Namibia - Safari Lodges & Wilderness Camps

As part of our Namibia itinerary we visit a selection of safari lodges and wilderness camps.

Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge

  • Luxurious desert Lodge

  • Magnificent Namib Desert 

  • Variety of exciting desert activities

Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge is situated in the magnificent Namib-Naukluft National Park. The diverse landscape changes from expansive gravel plains to undulating dunes, rugged canyons with towering walls of volcanic rock and distant mountain ranges.

Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge offers a sophisticated desert experience and comprises stone and glass desert villas overlooking an expansive Namib gravel plain leading into a sea of dunes. Each spacious air-conditioned suite features a shaded deck, split-level bedroom and living room with fireplace for winter evenings, en-suite glass-encased bathroom and outdoor shower. The villas are equipped with a star-viewing sky light, fully stocked personal bars and compact telescopes for game spotting. The elegant split-level main Lodge comprises bar, dining-room, wine cellar, sitting room and terrace, upper library and viewing deck, CD and book collection, swimming pool and gift shop.

Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge’s resident rangers guide guests through this desert wonderland on walks, in open safari vehicles and riding all-terrain quadbikes. At the end of the day the blanket of stars which lights up the desert sky are brought to life through the Lodge’s high-powered computerised telescope.

Impalila Island Lodge

  • Luxurious intimate safari cottages

  • Water Lodge 

  • Mighty Zambezi River

  • Fishing, boating & birdwatching

Situated on the banks of the Zambezi River on the eastern Caprivi Strip, Impalila is a superb Lodge providing a variety of unique experiences. The Lodge is located on Impalila Island at the confluence of the Chobe and Zambezi Rivers where four countries meet. Whilst the surrounding country is dry and parched, the rivers and the adjoining areas provide life-giving respite to the migratory herds of game in northern Botswana.

The central feature of the Lodge is an enormous Baobab tree which is surrounded by the living and dining areas. An extended deck area with swimming pool faces the Zambezi and the setting sun. The luxurious chalets, each with en-suite shower and w.c, have private verandas for magnificent bird watching and uninterrupted water-world views.

Activities include birding and fishing from motor boats, game-viewing by boat along the Chobe River, mekoro excursions to explore the quiet backwaters and expansive floodplains, and guided walks on the island. Picnic lunches and dinners to other parts of the island can also be arranged.

Mokuti Lodge, Etosha

  • Safari Lodge with luxury chalets

  • Next to Etosha National Park

  • Swimming pool and tennis court

  • Walking trails and game-drives

Mokuti Lodge is strategically placed only 200 metres from Von Lindequist Gate, the eastern entrance to Etosha National Park which is one of Africa’s most awe-inspiring game reserves.

‘Mokuti’ means ‘in the bush’ in the language of the local Owambo people, however, the quality of comfort and service offered at the Lodge ensures a memorable and relaxing sojourn. The chalets are set under cool thatch and guests can choose from single, double, family or luxury units. Each chalet is equipped with air-conditioning, en-suite bathroom with shower or bath, hairdryer, radio, satellite TV, direct dial telephone, fridge and tea/coffee-making facilities. There are two restaurants, a boma for traditional African barbecues, two swimming pools, two floodlit tennis courts and two bars.

One of the most impressive features of Mokuti Lodge is the lushness of vegetation and tranquillity of its surrounds. Set in over 40 square kilometres of natural habitat with giraffe and a variety of buck, the Lodge offers a number of different walking trails. Alternatively guests can hire mountain bikes to explore the area. Game drives into Etosha National Park offer guests the opportunity to view a variety of game at close range.

Okonjima Bush Camp nestles in the unspoiled beauty of the Omboroko mountains, part of the Waterberg Plateau. In the Herero language, ‘Okonjima’ means ‘place of the baboons’.

This is a family owned Lodge, offering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Each of the thatched rondavels has an en-suite bathroom with twin hand basins, ceiling fan, mini-bar and comfortable lounge area. The rondavels all boast a small waterhole which attracts numerous bird species. 

Okonjima is home to the Africat Foundation which is a non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation and protection of Namibia’s threatened cats, primarily cheetah and leopard. Guests will be able to see this programme at work and learn more about these beautiful creatures, in addition to having some excellent photographic opportunities.

For guests wanting to get in touch with nature there are a number of walking trails, including a guided Bushman trail where you can learn about the traditional lifestyle and philosophy of these unique and ancient people.

Mowani Mountain Camp

Mowani Mountain Camp lies in an area of astounding beauty in the heart of Damaraland. Built high up amongst massive red granite boulders, the Lodge provides amazing views over the vast unspoiled wilderness with magnificent desert scenery, unique flora and fauna and fascinating geological formations and archaeological sites.

Mowani’s main complex consists of a cluster of thatched dome-shaped structures. The unusual style of architecture echoes the shape of the surrounding boulders. Accommodation is in luxury East Africa-style safari tents built on raised wooden platforms hidden amongst the boulders. A canvas-covered veranda at the entrance of the tent enables guests to enjoy views of the rugged landscape. Bathroom facilities consist of a shower, washbasin and w.c. Some of the tents have outside showers and the honeymoon tent has a magnificent outdoor bathroom, the view from the bath rates as one of the best in Africa. The plunge pool with its wooden deck provides a welcome respite on hot days.
