We stayed here for two nights and we absolutely loved it. Most memorable are the hosts, friendly animals including the meerkat and amazing service. Lodge is in a beautiful setting with lots of hikes, nature and wildlife. Food is simple and homely, we loved eating together with the other guests and the host. Highly recommend - a great place to recharge.

Ferien auf Immenhof
Sehr schöne Erfahrung. Sehr bemĂŒhte Gastgeber. Mit den Pferden und den beiden blonden Volunteers erinnerte die Lodge an Immenhof. Das Abendessen ist solide, wenn auch nicht aufregend, das FrĂŒhstĂŒck sehr gut. Faire GetrĂ€nkepreise. Bei der Zimmerreinigung ist noch Luft nach oben. Wir empfehlen fĂŒr die Anfahrt einen SUV. Ăber 30 km ungeteerter StraĂe ist mit einem normalen PKW etwas mĂŒhsam.

Staff is super friendly and responsive. Definitely feels like a family environment. Facilities are a bit run down, and setting is ok but not great relative to some of the other lodges we stayed in.

Highly recommend
Absolutely amazing stay at Etusis.
The Lodge is very off the beaten track and you'd be forgiven for thinking you've taken a wrong turn. But if you carry on to reach the Lodge then you'll be rewarded with beautiful scenery, friendly and welcoming hosts, amazing food, beautiful facilities and some of the best star gazing in the world.
Cannot recommend enough for those wanting to escape hustle and bustle and relax in comfort.

Sehr schöner Ausritt mit den Pferden morgens, auch fĂŒr AnfĂ€nger geeignet. Wir hatten eine 1 zu 1 Betreuung deswegen war es auch ohne Reiterfahrung ein tolles Erlebnis. Die Unterkunft hat rustikalen Charme. Das Abendessen und FrĂŒhstĂŒck war ganz ok. Die Anfahrt war ein wenig holprig, aber das ist auf vielen StraĂen in Namibia so. Die Zimmer waren sauber.

Great place and friendly staff
I really enjoy staying at a place that is warm and welcoming. Etusis was exactly that!
I like the fact that it is remote and far from town and also the dirt road drive to the lodge is fantastic! You actually drive between wildlife đđđ
And also donât forget the great view in the morning or nightfall...
Great job guys, I will surely see you guys again!

Wir waren im Oktober 2018 fĂŒr eine Nacht in der Etusis Lodge. Die Lodge ist wunderschön, die Gastgeber herzlich, das Essen super und die Umgebung Entschleunigung pur. Schon die Anfahrt ist die Reise wert: zuerst ĂŒber eine Schotterpiste, dann nochmals 18 km ĂŒber einen schmalen, gepflegten Farmpad bis zur Farm, immer den beeindruckenden Bergen entgegen, ein Traum. Wir werden wieder kommen, dann aber fĂŒr mindestens 3 Tagen!

In einem schönen Tal ruhig gelegen
Auf dem Weg von der Etosha Pfanne nach Swakopmund war die Etusis - Lodge ein willkommener Unterbruch. Abseits der Strasse in einer schönen Umgebung gelegen, bot sich diese fĂŒr die eine Ăbernachtung an. Schade, dass ich nicht mehr Zeit hatte, gerne hĂ€tte ich noch die eine oder andere Ausfahrt mitgemacht. In der Gegend gibt es Mountain-Zebra, welche ich auf meiner Reise noch nicht sah.
Das nÀchste Mal werde ich definitiv mehr Zeit einplanen.
Das Essen wird gemeinsam eingenommen, das garantiert fĂŒr interessante GesprĂ€che mit den Hosts und den anderen Reisenden.
