Safarihoek Lodge brings a touch of luxury to Namibia’s arid northern region. The charming and stylish lodge sits atop a hill in the exclusive Etosha Heights Private Reserve, bordering the world-famous Etosha National Park. Here, you’ll enjoy unhindered views of the rugged yet beautiful landscape and spectacular sightings of the wildlife that freely roams the plains. During the day, you’ll be treated to elephants drinking at watering holes and rhino grazing, while night drives around the reserve bring out the more elusive nocturnal creatures.

A favorite feature of Safarihoek is the celebration of its surroundings. Every single corner of the lodge showcases Etosha’s unspoiled beauty and passing wildlife. From the swimming pool and private deck in every luxury chalet to the large glass windows in the onsite restaurant, you’ll enjoy breathtaking views wherever you are. To top it off, Safarihoek has a unique double-tiered photography hide that overlooks a nearby watering hole frequented by the wildlife in the area.
