We chose Mt Etjo on recommendation and because we have stayed at several other lodges in the area it was time to try somewhere different - to be honest, whilst it was a nice weekend, we were left disappointed. Maybe because it was the last weekend before Christmas - everyone was counting down to their break, winding everything up...... not... More

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated! We do have a museum and a souvenir shop on site outlining a lot of the history surrounding Mount Etjo, about all the animals and the Oelofse family. There is even a book for sale at the reception about the lodge and the Oelofse family. We will definitely make guests more aware of... More

What can i say! I am a Namibian living abroad and visit every alternate year with my wife and son. We have stayed in several lodges and resorts over the years and the stay at Mount Etjo was absolutely amazing. The setting is serene and very tranquil. The game drive was captivating and we got to see the elephants as... More

This private reserve is incredible. Huge, you hardly believe it’s not a national park! Coming from Etosha, though, is quite a disappointment. We were hoping to see hippos, which don’t exist in Etosha, instead in the afternoon drive the car doesn’t go through their water hole. Talking about which, this game drive is absolutely disappointing! The lodge’s truck is huge... More

Dear Mariat68, thank you for your comment, it is much appreciated. Yes, our property is very large, spanning over 30 000 acres, which is the reason why we can unfortunately not guarantee that Hippos (or any specific type of animal) will be seen during the Game Drive, although our drivers always try their best. Sometimes even elephants are hard to... More

This was a first time for us and it will definitely not be the last. We had a great time at this lodge, one of the oldest in Namibia and with a lot of history. The rooms are very spacious with jacuzzi, separate toilet and very good beds with nice linen - all around a big swimming pool overlooking the... More

We stayed here on a tour around Namibia on dirt bikes using mainly gravel roads. Having overnighted at some pretty amazing places, this was like the cherry on the top, a much needed oasis. We got a great welcome, the room was fantastic, the food was great and the wildlife amazing. The lion feeding should not be missed, I won't... More
