Hobatere, meaning find him or me in the Nama language, is aptly named – given its location just west of Etosha National Park.Nestled in a forest of large indigenous trees, this intimate lodge comes into view after a 16 km meandering drive through rocky outcrops and riverine vegetation with an abundance of wildlife during the dry season.This last stretch of the way turns off from the main Kamanjab-Opuwo road (C 35).

The highlight of a sojourn at Hobatere Lodge is the 24-hour game viewing opportunity overlooking a water hole where an abundance of wildlife congregates throughout the day and night.Peaceful and quiet days turn into hauntingly beautiful African nights where the roar of a lion is not unusual.

The double rooms come with en-suite shower, toilet and washbasin plus complimentary toiletries.

All the rooms feature a writing desk and bedside lamps as well as a coffee and tea station with a vacuum flask for hot water (refillable at reception)...
