Etosha King Nehale is a luxury lodge located just outside the northern boundary of Etosha National Park, close to the King Nehale Lya Mpingana Gate. Its location is convenient for travellers entering the park from the north or those exploring the Oshikoto Region. The lodge combines African-inspired architecture with modern comfort and is designed to fit naturally with the surrounding wilderness.
The chalets are spacious and decorated in warm earthy colours with cultural touches that reflect the traditions of the Ovambo people. Many chalets feature private plunge pools facing the open bush, giving guests the chance to watch wildlife without leaving their rooms. This makes it easy to enjoy both comfort and nature at the same time.
The main lodge area has a restaurant and lounge with wide views of the surrounding plains, creating a relaxing place to enjoy meals and drinks. The restaurant serves both local and international dishes, made with fresh ingredients sourced from nearby communities. The friendly and attentive staff make guests feel welcome and help them connect with the culture and environment of the area.
One of the most unique features of Etosha King Nehale is its private access to the Andoni Plains waterhole inside Etosha National Park. This waterhole is reserved only for lodge guests and offers close-up views of elephants, giraffes, antelope, and sometimes predators, all in a quiet setting away from busy tourist spots.
Guests can take part in daily game drives led by experienced guides to explore more of Etosha and its wildlife. The lodge also offers cultural tours to nearby villages, where visitors can learn about local history, traditions, and everyday life. These experiences give travellers a better understanding of the region and its people.
With its comfortable rooms, excellent location, and special wildlife viewing opportunities, Etosha King Nehale is a great base for exploring both the park and the surrounding Oshikoto Region while enjoying peace, comfort, and a strong cultural connection.
