Okutala Etosha Lodge – Where Wildlife Comes to You
Set on 24,000 hectares of pristine Namibian wilderness, Okutala Etosha Lodge is a privately owned sanctuary where wildlife encounters are intimate and authentic. Just south of the famous Etosha National Park, this lodge invites guests to connect with nature on a profound level—whether it’s from the comfort of your suite, beside the pool, or on a heart-pounding conservation experience.
Location
Located approximately 50 km south of Anderson Gate—the southern entrance to Etosha National Park—Okutala is easily accessible via self-drive, private shuttle, or fly-in to the lodge’s private airstrip. Its secluded position offers tranquillity and exclusivity, while still placing guests within easy reach of Etosha’s remarkable wildlife.
The Lodge
Okutala Etosha Lodge features 21 well-appointed rooms, including family-friendly inter-leading units, each with air-conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and private patios that look out across the bush. Elegant furnishings blend rustic wood and stone textures with modern amenities. The main lodge includes two swimming pools, a well-stocked bar, open-air dining areas, a cozy lapa deck, a curio shop, and even a photographic hide overlooking the waterhole.
Activities
Okutala offers a range of experiences both on its own reserve and within Etosha National Park. Guests can enjoy:
– Guided game drives in Etosha
– Predator feeding tours (leopards, cheetahs, hyenas)
– Elephant and rhino walks
– Nature hikes and cycling trails
– Birdwatching
– Sundowner drives and bush picnics
The lodge also plans to launch the ‘Xplorer Experience’—a multi-day immersive programme that showcases all aspects of the reserve, wildlife rehabilitation, and conservation education.
Community & Conservation
Okutala is more than just a lodge—it’s a conservation hub dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rewilding of Namibia’s iconic species. Guests play a direct role in supporting conservation through their stay, and can witness first-hand the care provided to animals being prepared for return to the wild.
Guest Information
The lodge is open year-round and caters to couples, families, solo travellers, and conservation enthusiasts. Services include full-board accommodation, laundry, Wi-Fi in common areas, airport transfers, and a private landing strip for fly-in safaris. Okutala is a top choice for those who want more than a wildlife sighting—they want a true connection with the animals and the people who protect them.
