Hobatere Lodge: Our full report

23 March update - We are sorry to report that Hobatere Lodge is closed and will remain so until further notice.

Between Damaraland and Etosha, Hobatere is owned by one of Namibia's leading naturalists, Steve Braine. It has comfortable cottages, plenty of space and a pool to relax by. Its environment and game densities are similar to Etosha, and here professional guides lead walking safaris and drives (day and night). Hobatere is slightly off the obvious route, but is worth the effort to reach it.

Walking safaris: Lying on the western boundary of Etosha, and very similar in environment, Hobatere's professional guides, including Steve (the owner and a top-class birder!) and Martin, lead excellent morning game walks. With the area's high game density, prides of lion, elephant, giraffe, leopard and Hartmann's zebra are frequently seen.
