This is a great place to stop en route from Swakopmund to Etosha. The main Lodge is open air (ie a roof but no walls) and I would describe our bedroom as "rustic". Each room is large and set apart from the others and whilst they may not be as luxurious as other lodges we stayed in, they were certainly... More

During the last ten years we had seven trips to Namibia, and the only one we always visited is Huab. In December 2011 we stayed for five nights including Christmas Eve. We used the airstrip to fly in with Desert-Air from Windhoek Husea-Kotako. This is a one and a half hours flight on a Cessna 210 and avoids long driving,... More

The Good Bits - very friendly owners and staff (lots of them too). Can feel that they have a genuine love of the place and wish to share it with you. Jan the owner is very knowledgable. At meal times felt like a quest in someone's house. A beautiful spot. Christmas Eve the owner shared his traditional Christmas evening which... More

Once you manage to negotiate the challenging roads to get there, the Huab Lodge is a magical place. Absolute peace in a beautiful setting. The accommodations are comfortable and attractive while being ecologically sensitive. The food is delicious and plentiful. Jan and Suzy manage to create a welcoming and homey environment at every meal time with a high level to... More

From sun rise on an early morning walk, through sundowners on an evening game drive, to a convivial, communal evening meal with staff and guests, it is surprising how much you can pack into a day at Huab Lodge, even though everything is done at a leisurely pace. The game drives are gentle, with frequent stops allowing the guides to... More

My first experience at Huab a year ago inspired me to make my way there again this month. It felt as if I were coming home. Jan and Suzy greeted me like old friends - and remembered details of our previous stay. As in the past, Jan presided over the superb meals and took us on a spectacular sunset drive... More

We are now back in the UK after the most fantastic holiday in Namibia. Our stay at the Huab Lodge was definitely 'stand out', Jan, Suzy, Cathy, Jaap, Thomas and the team there are doing a fantastic job. I don’t think we’ve ever received such a warm welcome, been made to feel part of the ‘extended family’ and been looked... More

Heaven is both people and place. Huab Lodge has both in spades. Jan and Suzi and crew become a larger family. The surroundings echo all of what it is that we love about Africa. Tom and Sheryl Houston Texas More

We did a 5 stop itinerary in Namibia with my parents who had never been further than the Canary Islands. I know they, and we, enjoyed Huab very much. My Dad's 6am walk with Jaap and dogs are fondly remebered. This is not a place for spotting big game - it is about peace, tranquility, stunning suroundings, observing the birds,... More
