Mount Etjo Safari Lodge

It's a quick trip from the City of Windhoek. On arrival we saw hippo, impala, Waterbuck, springbok, giraffe, pelicans, flamingos. The birds and animals live comfortable at the dam in front of your lodge. This gives you a full daylight view from sunrise to sunset. A 3 hour game drive offers Rhino, Elephant and a great selection of buck plus giraffe. A night drive to an enclosure gives you an opportunity of lions feeding within meters !! We counted over 30 species of birds ( to our knowledge). Besides the very cooling stone rooms, beautiful pool and superb cuisine,your trip to Mount Edjo will be your most memorable one in Namibia.

When you first arrive, you instantly relax. The staff are nice and helpful and while it feels like a mom and pop kind of place, it's run like a first rate hotel. Check in was easy and we found our room quickly. It was one of the family rooms and it was really spacious with a beautiful shower, a jacuzzi tub, comfy furnishings and a bed I could have spent a week in. They thought of every detail and it made for a truly lovely experience. On the river across from our room you could sit on benches and watch/listen to the pod of hippos, see elephants, a variety of antelope and pelicans - without ever going on a game drive. The pool was relaxing and we felt so relaxed and welcomed there. The food was very good, not sure who their pastry chef is but they are incredible. The nightly soup was a delight, each bowl was delicious! The waitstaff were very attentive and nice. We went on two game drives, one in the afternoon and one in the morning - both were amazing in their own right but since it was chilly in the morning - the afternoon drive had more animals out for viewing. But, there were other things about the morning drive that made it special. The guides were awesome and had interesting facts about the animals I had never heard. All in all it was an amazing stay and I would return in a heartbeat!! Great job Mt. Etjo!

Mt. Etjo Safari Lodge is a must be place in Namibia. The Oelofse famliy is exctremly dedicated to protect nature and their very valuable inhabitants. This is one of the reasons why we came back for a second time in 2024 after visiting Mt.Etjo Lodge in 2019 for the first time. The Safari Lodge offers superb game drives, nice rooms, a big variety of food for dinner in excellent quality. If you want to move your legs a little bit a hiking trail to 200 millions year old dinosaurus footsteps awaits you. Your stay contributes to the conservation and preservation of the wild! We enjoyed our stay very much.

First off, the gravel road to Mt Etjo has to be one of the best in Namibia - on arrival at reception, Alicia was just very capable, very organized and very friendly. Every aspect was just as planned and as expected. Directions to the Dinosaur camp were perfect and the campsite was absolutely beautiful, clean and we could not have asked for more. The game drive ( with Orlando - I think his name was) was most enjoyable

We had a very plesant stay at Mount Etjo a very nice big and clean room ,te food was every day excellent, this was our second stay and we will go back again.

This side trip was recommended by Bergzicht Game Lodge and was a fabulous experience. I must have taken 1,500 photos during five game drives over 2 1/2 days. I had not seen lions and elephants since a 2014 photo safari in Zambia, so this was a special treat.
