Huab Lodge – Namibia’s Elephant Sanctuary with Soul
Born from a pioneering vision to protect Namibia’s desert-adapted elephants, Huab Lodge is more than just a place to stay—it’s a story of conservation, tranquillity, and connection with the land. Situated in the dramatic landscapes of Damaraland, this intimate lodge blends comfort and sustainability, inviting guests to experience wild Namibia while supporting a deeply rooted environmental mission.
Location
Huab Lodge lies along the banks of the Huab River in northwest Namibia, nestled within a wide valley flanked by granite hills and ancient riverbeds. Remote but easily accessible, the lodge’s position offers seclusion without sacrifice—guests enjoy sweeping views, wildlife sightings, and access to scenic trails and rugged natural beauty.
The Lodge
The lodge features eight spacious thatched bungalows, each with a large private veranda, mosquito-screened windows, and en-suite bathrooms with solar-heated water. Designed with natural materials and a minimalist aesthetic, the bungalows offer understated luxury that complements the desert landscape. A central lodge area includes a lounge, library, swimming pool, and a natural thermal spa for pure relaxation after a day of exploration.
Activities & Wildlife
Activities include guided nature walks, birding excursions, scenic drives, and photographic safaris in search of desert-adapted elephants, giraffes, oryx, and more. Rock engravings and geological wonders add depth to each journey. The lodge’s guides are renowned for their knowledge, passion, and ability to turn every outing into an educational and inspiring adventure.
Community & Conservation
Huab Lodge was founded as a response to elephant persecution in the area, and conservation remains central to its purpose. By transforming overgrazed farmland into protected habitat, the lodge has become a haven for elephants and countless other species. Through responsible tourism, Huab Lodge supports environmental education, erosion control, water restoration, and local employment. Guests contribute directly to these efforts by choosing to stay in a lodge where wildlife protection and sustainable land use are part of everyday life.
