Khowarib Lodge is nestled on the banks of the Hoanib River where it runs through the dramatic Khowarib Gorge in north west Namibia. The lodge is well situated for travellers who want to explore this spectacularly remote corner of the country.
None of the Expert Africa team have visited Khowarib Lodge yet, but here is what we know about it:
A large rock kopje creates an impressive back drop to the main area of Khowarib Lodge. The mid-section of this large thatched structure forms a viewing platform overlooking the gorge and the riverbed. There is a dining area to one side and a lounge to the other. Each space appears to be well designed and has lots of extra touches such as a small library, a bar made from raw materials and local artwork on the walls.
A short walk away from the main area, and towards the river bank, is the 14 tented rooms. These are built on wooden platforms which extend to form a private viewing platform over the riverbed. Each tent is simply but stylishly furnished with twin or double beds and has an en suite open-air bathroom.
There is water in the Hoanib River here year round, fed by natural springs upstream, so there's always plenty to see from the camp in terms of birdlife and even some animal life. In addition, Khowarib Lodge offers a range of activities including excursions in search of desert-adapted elephants, rhino tracking, nature walks, half day birding drives, day trips to the Twyfelfontein rock engravings and visits to a local Himba village. Co-owner of Khowarib Lodge, Caesar Zandberg is one of Namibia's well-known guides and can be booked in advance for longer multi-day safaris.
In conclusion... Khowarib Lodge is situated remote and stunning area of Namibia. The surrounds can be explored independently by travellers with a 4WD vehicle or on one of the activities from the lodge.

This is a fairly new lodge which at first sight looks very impressive but they need to iron out a couple of problems.
