Lodges in Namibia are fantastic! Visit us and see for yourself!

There is something to be said about sleeping in a lodge with a thatched roof and where you can hear the sounds of the African night and let evening honks and roars lull you to sleep.  I love tented lodges with wide open walls and huge windows.

Of course, for me to fall asleep in that much open space, I need to have that lodge up on stilts and behind a perimeter fence with screens in place to keep the buggies out (my bed must be under nets too.)  But, it is quite safe really and what an adventure!  Imagine being with the one you love in a bed like that under a clear Namibian starry night.  Sigh....  Of course being in that same bed with your BFF giggling and laughing and remembering fun times as you talk all night and catch up on each other's lives is also a blast.

Let me burst your bubble a bit though...when a lion roars and that deep, unearthly coughing sound shakes the walls of your comfortable bungalow, you may rethink this wide open deluxe sleeping model for a second or two, but that is the thrill of the African safari isn't it?

It ain't no Simba and Lion King cast singing Hacuna Matata; it is the real deal in Etosha National Park in Namibia and other private game reserves where hundreds of Simbas live.  And it is fantastic! You will love it.

As a middle ager with grown kids, I am no longer into camping in tents, using sleeping bags, going 'au naturel' with bodily needs and 'roughing' it, though I can and will do that if the situation calls for it for a night or two.  I like a comfortable bed, warm blankets and hot water when I shower.  And I love the idea of watching the sunrise from my huge, warm bed.

I don't need Master Chef level food, but I need something that isn't poured out of a can. The lodges in Namibia have good eating.  The game meat is particularly tastey and local traditional food needs to at least be sampled.

Game lodges in great locations in Namibia have a range of prices N$800 or so per person, per night (pp/pn)with dinner, bed and breakfast included up to five star lodges that can run $3000 per person, per night.  Needless to say, the higher the price, the more the benefits, services and luxuries.  You have to choose what you can afford and what level of comfort you (and your aching knees) want.

I enjoy the unique designs and styling in Namibia's lodges.  I have visited quite a few lodges and resorts and can confirm that the photos aren't just those marketing, photo-shopped things, they really do look like that when you first walk into the room. and what a WOW! factor that is.

Google lodges in Namibia and get more photos that you can choose from when you decide to come visit us.  I can tell you that the Gondwana Chain, Namibia Wildlife Resorts and (if you want the more 5 star level service and 'stuff') Ongava and any of the Wilderness Safaris properties and Wolvedans are absolutely great.

Check out the communal conservancies with lodges too!  You can get a great accommodation and tourism experience (game drives, activities, etc...) AND help local people who are members of the conservancies earn a living from their traditional lands. Check out my all time favourite the Grootberg Lodge in the //Khoadi Hoas conservancy (those // punctuation marks means that is from the 'click' languages.)

Come see for yourself and enjoy the great lodges in Namibia.  Our wildlife and fantastic foods, cultural dress, songs and dances will give you a holiday here a trip of a lifetime!
