Otjiwa Mountain Lodge

A beautiful lodge with a lovely restaurant, good food and wine list. Friendly and helpful staff. A fun pool to relax at and they offer activities (game drives etc) Great location.

Nice place, but nothing exceptional Dinner was on the expensive side but food average

We chose to do the reverse route compared to most people. Otjiwa being our first stop and stayed for 2nights instead of one. The staff were lovely from the beginning to end. Special thanks to Thomas our safari guide who found not one but six white rhinos during our trek. To the wait staff who remembered my breakfast order you are amazing!! I’m so sorry I didn’t quite get your name. I think he was the only male staff on. The safaris were all phenomenal and thankful we did two nights instead of one to really get the most out of the place. To Otjiwa Safari Lodge thank you for an amazing start of our travels. Much love, Edward & Joanne (Australia)

Lodge is easily accessible on the road from Windhoek to the north. Chalets are spacious with a terrace overlooking the bush where springbok and gazelles roam. Equipped kitchen and barbecue area. Large pool with game visits in the evenings. Creative cuisine that doesn't always live up to its ambitious standards. Small souvenir shop with fair prices. Game drives with Rhino watching. A walk around the waterhole with ospreys, ostriches, pelicans, warthogs, monkeys and many springboks is highly recommended, duration about 90 min. We spent three lovely days there.

The restaurant staff and tour guides were great!!! The food was the best we had all trip!! and very affordable! Our room looked really nice but there was an odd smell that really bothered me (husband said it reminded him of urinal cleaner?). Also I didn't end up using the pool since it looked pretty slimy and green along the edges.
