Strikingly set on the Andoni plains, just one kilometre from Etosha National Park’s King Nehale Gate, Etosha King Nehale lodge offers an unforgettable experience. The lodge's design mimics the shape of a Nguni cattle head, with 40 chalets elegantly extending north and south from the central area, resembling a bull’s horns.
From the moment guests enter the reception, curio shop, boma, and dining areas, the Oshiwambo culture comes alive through vibrant colours, intricate fabrics, custom-cutlery, chandeliers, and table engravings with meaningful proverbs, creating a unique and authentic atmosphere.
The chalets are spacious and tastefully decorated with Oshiwambo-inspired cultural ornaments. Each chalet boasts its own private plunge pool, offering guests stunning views of the endless Andoni plains—truly an experience fit for royalty.
What truly sets this lodge apart is its exclusive access to the private waterhole, Ontalelo Outpost, located within Etosha National Park. Reserved for Etosha King Nehale guests exclusively, this secluded spot provides a peaceful retreat for guests to connect with nature and observe the rich diversity of wildlife in this hidden paradise.
Whether joining the lodge for guided game drives or embarking on a self-drive tour through the world-renowned park, Etosha King Nehale is sure to be a highlight of your Namibian adventure.
