Safari House

Safari House, located on the Etosha Heights Private Reserve, just next to Safarihoek Lodge, is a traditional Namibian farmhouse that can be booked on an exclusive-use basis. There are three, ensuite bedrooms and a fully-equipped kitchen, dining room and sitting area inside. Outside, there’s a large veranda with a braai and plenty of outdoor seating, a fire pit and a second thatched braai area, as well as a swimming pool, all amidst the luscious green gardens.

But perhaps the biggest luxury on offer at Safari House is freedom. With a private guide, vehicle and a chef all to yourself, it’s a safari that’s 100% on your terms whether you want to look for big game early in the morning, or have a leisurely start to the day. Flexibility is key here and the house is a perfect spot for families, groups of friends and adventurers looking for their very own, day-to-day itinerary.

Safari House is all about unpretentious, traditional Namibian hospitality. The house sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms and each is comfortable and spacious with a touch of style! Each room is air-conditioned, providing the perfect retreat after a hot day in the reserve, and all rooms are ensuite with indoor showers. Inside, you’ll also find a lovely large sitting room with a dining area and a fully-equipped kitchen.

Outside, Safari House really comes into its own. For lazy afternoons, the large, wraparound veranda is shady and cool, and the waterhole is just a few metres away, providing the perfect entertainment for all guests. There’s a swimming pool if you fancy a dip, morning or evening, a braai area where you can call upon your private chef to whip something up or get out the tongs yourself, and a large, fully-fenced garden.

About the Etosha Heights Private Reserve

Founded in 1999, Etosha Heights is one of the largest private reserves in Namibia, sharing a 65 kilometre border with the famous Etosha National Park. The reserve offers a robust 600 square kilometres of unspoiled wildlife, landscapes, and tranquillity; truly a place to reconnect with nature and escape the modern stresses of life. The savannah is punctuated by pods of mopane woodland, thick, riverine forest and those iconic waterholes, attracting animals from far and wide.

Etosha Heights Private Reserve is a safari in a nutshell. Game drives will almost certainly yield sightings of lion, cheetah, eland, kudu, hartebeest and springbok, as well as Namibia’s fascinating desert species such as black-faced impala, oryx and the elusive Hartmann’s zebra. The Etosha area is also famous for its numerous waterholes and the double-tiered photography hide is ideally positioned to watch the elephant drink and splash in the water. And, if there is one animal that is iconic to this region, it’s the white rhino and Etosha Heights has a strong population of both white and black rhino.
