Here one is reminded that we are all guests of Mother Nature.

Etendeka Mountain Camp is one of the pearls in the Big Sky Lodges offerings. This award-winning eco-friendly camp lies in the foothills of the Grootberg massif, in stunning scenery set amidst the archaic Etendeka lava flows of Southern Kaokoveld. This unforgiving landscape is a refuge for a diverse number of plant and mammal species and offers incredible walking trail experiences.

The Camp

Pathways lead to ten private shaded en-suite Meru tents with their stunning eco-friendly open-air “bucket” showers. The tents are spacious with twin beds, two tents have double beds and all are freshly made up with luxury mattresses and 100 percent cotton linen. The comforts do not take away from the traditional tented camp atmosphere.

Amenities

The camp is rustic, simple and inviting. A bar with an incredible view and a comfortable lounge is flanked by a long table where breakfasts, lunches and wholesome dinners are shared with your host and guide. The pool with its loungers is an unexpected delight.

This unforgiving landscape is a refuge for a diverse number of plant and mammal species. Here one is reminded that we are all guests of Mother Nature.

The scenic drive in the afternoon allows guests to travel to other parts of the concession and to have a better opportunity to see the wide variety of animals that have adapted to this harsh environment.

It's more than a lodge - it's an experience!

Etendeka is a wonderful place, set in the middle of nowhere, all self sustaining and eco-friendly and most importantly – they are part of the local community. The hosts were just wonderful, warm and friendly. The food is tasty and plenty, real home cooking. We had a wonderful two days there and warmly recommend the experience.

Fantastic tented camp in the wilderness

My favourite stay in Namibia, to be truly out in the landscape, and surrounded by game. The “transfer” into the camp is a game drive in itself. Good tents with excellent outdoor showers. Good food, and dining communally suits the atmosphere. Dennis has a great telescope to explore the sky. Truly memorable.
