Great little lodge near Etosha about one hour off the highway. ( roads could use some maintenance with a grader). Meals (2 of the 3 )were very good (steak fillet was excellent!!), pool refreshing and staff very attentive. Game was sparse, despite 2 game drives, which was a shame! Star gazing spectacular!

It was a spectacular stay in a spectacular environment. The service and the kindness of the staff was overwhelming. On top of it we watched a herd of elephants all over the day almost in front of our seats. A hidden gem. Worth visiting every time again

We had a lovely time at Hobatere, the staff were outstanding, especially Nicco. The room was very clean, and eco friendly and the food was delicious. The only weak spot was the guiding - we went for a game drive and the guide was not knowledgeable and not interested in hearing what the guests wanted to see.

Tolle Lodge am westlichen Teil des Etosha Parks. Einfache Einrichtung. Die 15km Zufahrt sind eine Herausforderung und sind besser mit einem 4x4 zu fahren.

Il Lodge è datato e sembra non essere stato manutenzionato da tempo Il personale è molto cortese ma non può rimediare ad una struttura datata e con pochissima manutenzione. Il Game driver bravissimo (Brian)

Merveilleux! Expérience Tree House inoubliable!

Nous y sommes restés une nuit, initialement prévu en lodge, nous avons finalement choisi d'opter pour la "Tree house" (cabane dans un arbre au milieu de la réserve mais tout en sécurité), une expérience inoubliable que nous recommandons! C'est une cabane de luxe avec un grande terrasse perchée à 5 mètres de hauteur où l'on dîne en amoureux face à un plan d'eau où viennent boire les animaux. Cet établissement possède une immense réserve où il y a notamment des lions et lionnes, qui sont leurs animaux phares. Le lieu est vraiment très beau car même sur l'immense terrasse de l'établissement (petit-déjeuner et dîner) on a une belle et grande vue sur des plans d'eau et un paysage de savane. Merveilleux. Mention spéciale pour le personnel et sa manager qui ont été incroyablement efficaces et compétents, et tout particulièrement attentionnés avec nous. Nous avons vraiment préférés "Hobatere Lodge" à sa petite soeur "Grootberg Lodge" qui se trouve dans les montagnes, où nous y avons également dormi. Le confort à Habatere est meilleur. Nous espérons y revenir dans le futur.

L'accueil déplorable, l'unique souci du personnel était que nous remplissions au plus vite leurs registres et formulaires. L'équipement de la chambre et de la salle d'eau : pas fonctionnel, en mauvais état et pas propre. Le dîner très moyen, nous n'avons pas mangé le désert ( aucun choix ). Le petit-déjeuner, servi en retard avec un service déplorable.

The drive up to the lodge itself was breathtaking, then to see the surrounding views of the bar, restaurant & pool, my jaw dropped. We saw plenty of wildlife & the overall quality of rooms, food, facilities was 10/10. I wish i could have stayed longer. I bit of advice would be to leave to gift shop open rather than me have to ask to browse, its likely a british thing haha but people may be more likely to purchase :)

Plastic is detrimental to the environment.. Plastic bottles shall be banned on all lodges as it is done at the Skeleton coast , Cape Cross, and most exclusive lodges in Etosha. Very disappointing to see that some lodges do not care for the planet.

We saw Lions in the evening and the Morning! Perfect place to watch Lions. The Lodge is also really nice, i torally recommend staying there! We werde camping all the other nights, but this view was totally worth the money.

Beautiful Lodge just outside Etosha National Park

Fantastic lodge in a beautiful reserve. Unlike other places where one guy gets rich, this place is community owned and all proceedings go back to locals. We were greeted overwhelmingly friendly and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we have a pleasant stay. On our last morning we were informed that lions made a kill right outside the lodge at the waterhole and were offered a FREE trip with the guides to to have a closer look. How hospitable is that? The guides are experienced and knowledgable and we enjoyed our game drives inside the beautiful Hobatere reserve as well as a full day round trip to Etosha (which is less pretty than the surrounding area of the lodge). Definitely stay here if you want proximity to Etosha but prefer not to stay in the mass tourist government lodges inside the park.

Guter Ausgangspunkt, um Etosha West zu erkunden.

Gute Lodge, wo man Elefanten, Giraffen und Zebras direkt von der Terrasse aus beobachten konnte. Von der Teerstraße abenteuerliche 16 km bis zur Rezeption (halbe Stunde Fahrzeit einplanen).
