Huab Lodge

One of the best places in all of Namibia Great staff and guided hiking Outstanding birding and scenery Terrific accommodations Will definitely recommend! Road is not bad at all when compared to rest of Namibia so don’t let that deter you

Off the beaten track, 45 mins from the main road, this remote, peaceful, traditional lodge will make you feel at home thanks to a warm welcome, communal meals and the friendliest of services. Because it is remote, one night definitely is too short. Be sure to arrive before sunset (the road is narrow and a bit tricky in places, you have to open 4 gates to get the lodge too) and stay at minimum 2 nights to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, the lovely pool, hot natural springs and the warm hospitality. Note: breakfast and dinner generally included. But everything else is extra (drinks, lunch, activities etc).

A remote location in a picturesque setting. Game is not the key driver here so don't expect to see Etosha like hers of animals. There's a chance to walk in the valley and learn about the flora with excellent and knowledgeable hosts. Birding good and the lodge has good reference material as well as Jan and Suzi's expertise. Game drives were a bit limited as terrain difficult - one will be enough. A lodge to unwind in, enjoy the surroundings and learn about animals / plant life you see elsewhere. Rooms spacious and spotless. Food good quality and meal times a social able event. Recommend a stop for 1/2 nights as part of tour around the country. Not likely to travel much when at lodge given it's 30 k or so from main road!

What a great place to visit! Lidia and Deon run a spotless, well-organized, and very welcoming place, hospitable and super-scenic! The 'exclusive' drive down the Huab River to look for desert elephants is of course a MAJOR highlight. Their own private natural hot spring near the Lodge is also a winner! And the main Lodge is also a great place to swim in the pool, or just relax (check out that library!) Bushman the fox terrier will entertain any dog lovers ;-) All-in-all, you will visit once, and will then want to return again! Thank you Lidia and Deon, we will be back soon!
