Situated on a hillock near the southern entrance to Etosha National Park, the Etosha Safari Lodge enjoys spectacular views over the surrounding mopane savannas.

This pristine wilderness can be explored either on foot or by vehicle to encounter the inhabitants of this remote biosphere. Desert-adapted elephant, black rhino, giraffe, kudu, oryx and lion are just some of the animals that roam this area. Grootberg Lodge is a first in Namibia's tourism industry - it is the first middle-market lodge that is owned 100% by the local community. All of the friendly staff come from the local community, while staff training and management is currently done by a private company, but only until the community becomes self-sustainable.
