Etendeka Mountain Camp

Overview

Location: Namibia
Accommodation Type: Lodge
Comfort Level: Luxury

Good For: Solo, Couple/Romantic, Family |
The Etendeka Mountain Camp is set in stunning scenery amidst the Etendeka lava flows in northern Damaraland. This 500 kilometres of Namibian wilderness offers a unique experience, which will appeal to all lovers of the outdoors.

The Camp consists of 10 rustic safari tents connected by walkways to the main dining tent. Guests can experience the rustic, back to nature setting, whilst still enjoying the comforts of flush toilets, hot and cold running water, and freshly prepared meals under African skies.

Accommodation

Etendeka Camp has 10 meru-style shaded tents, simply furnished with twin beds, a table, lamp, luggage racks, linen and towels. The en-suite bathroom has hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, and a refreshing open-air bucket shower. Solar energy is used for heating and lighting.

Wildlife

Etendeka offers guests the opportunity to experience true Namibian wilderness. The reserve has good populations of Hartmann’s mountain zebra, gemsbok (oryx,) and springbok. Guests may also be fortunate enough to experience somewhat rarer sightings of the desert elephant, giraffe, lion, leopard and black rhino.

Etendeka is home to many of Namibia’s endemic bird species such as the Herero chat, Monteiro’s hornbill, Rüppell’s korhaan and rockrunner. It must be noted that while Etendeka does offer the opportunity for wildlife sightings, this is a destination for guests looking for an intimate bushveld experience to appreciate the unique biodiversity of desert adapted flora and fauna, and not specifically game viewing.
