Hobatere Lodge Reviews
“It is great to see Hobatere up and running again, and we wish every success to this community-based venture. The drought has been terrible – we would like to have seen more water-points to assist the animals.” –David W
“We only stayed one night & really wished we had booked another night.
The service was superb.
The food was superb.
The night safari was superb.
The room was superb – no air con so be prepared to be warm.
Loved it!” –6nationschampsagain
“This lodge is absolutely fantastic. It’s inside a park, so it takes like 40 minutes to get to the hotel from the entrance gate. And while you are on the road, you can see zebras, giraffes and elephants (if you are lucky). Our 3 years old was thrill! Once you have reached the hotel, you will find a very nice reception and the rooms around. The food is fantastic and the service is pretty good. The general manager, a charming and lovely British – American lady, is always around checking that everything is perfect and offering her advice if you ask. We spent Christmas there and diner was lovely. I must say that in this remote hotel we had the best culinary experience of all our holidays in Namibia. In front of the dining room there is a water hole, and for sunset you can see the animals come to drink water.
Rooms are clean and spacious with fantastic beds with nets (something really useful). Nice shower and loved the shampoo and soap! This hotel is a must if you are going to Etosha.” –Carolina V
