Toshari Lodge is a mid-range lodge and campsite located about 25 kilometres south of Andersson’s Gate, making it one of the closest places to stay near the southern entrance of Etosha National Park. It is set among mopane and white seringa trees on rocky dolomite ground, providing a quiet bush setting with modern facilities.
Accommodation options include standard rooms, luxury rooms, family suites, and three private campsites under shady trees on green lawns. All units have air conditioning. The rooms also have mosquito nets, en-suite bathrooms, tea and coffee facilities, and outdoor seating. The campsites each have their own ablution block with hot water, power outlets, and barbecue areas.
The lodge features a swimming pool in a garden area, a comfortable bar, and a restaurant serving filling local meals prepared with fresh herbs. Free Wi-Fi is available in shared spaces. Many guests appreciate the friendly service, good meals, and relaxed atmosphere, which make it a favourite for families, couples, and solo travellers.
Toshari Lodge is well known for its good location and flexibility. Guests can enter Etosha through Andersson’s Gate for self-drive safaris or join guided game drives arranged by the lodge. This makes it easy to spend the day exploring the park and return in the evening to enjoy a quiet night outside the busier camps inside Etosha. The lodge also offers organised full-day tours for those who do not want to drive themselves.
Other activities include walking a short nature trail on the property and arranging visits to nearby Himba communities. With three swimming pools, shaded gardens, and a peaceful setting, Toshari Lodge is a good choice for travellers who want comfort close to Etosha, often at lower rates than staying inside the park. Guests can enjoy both the convenience of being near the gate and the calm of a bush lodge, making it a practical base for exploring one of Namibia’s best wildlife areas.
