Etosha Aoba Lodge is the perfect lodge for a relaxing holiday. After a long day of game drives, relax with a meal under the stars or watch the animals quenching their thirst at the waterhole. The lodge is inside a 34000-hectare game reserve, the Onguma Reserve.

Etosha Aoba Lodge was built along the dry Omuramba Ovambo riverbed close to the thatch-roofed communal area. All bungalows feature a private terrace with seating, bathroom with a shower, mini-safe, bush mini bar, air-conditioning, ceiling fan and tea and coffee making facilities. There are also heaters available in winter.

You can relax next to the swimming pool or have a drink under the thatched roof of the bar. To watch the world go by, you can sit back in the lounge and dining area that overlooks the small waterhole.
