EnquireMokuti Etosha Lodge is a large property located just a few minutes’ drive from the eastern Von Lindequist Gate of Etosha National Park, northern Namibia. This popular park is rich in wildlife, providing excellent opportunities to observe the big four (lion, leopard, elephant, and rhino), along with zebra, giraffe, springbok, oryx, and an abundance of bird species.
Set within large grounds, this resort-like lodge boasts a wealth of facilities, yet retains a friendly and efficient service. The thatched buildings sit amidst lush gardens, through which harmless bontebok wander. The spacious main areas are bright and tastefully decorated, and comprise a business centre, curio shop, and comfortable lounge. The Etambi Pool Bar is open for light snacks throughout the day, whilst the Marula Bar provides cocktails during high season. Dining options range from home-style meals in the Tambuti dining room, to traditional Namibian Braai served al fresco within the reed Boma. For anyone seeking a more intimate experience, bush breakfasts or private dining amongst the trees can be arranged. With two large pools, a games room, flood-lit tennis courts and a spa, there is no shortage of activities to engage in at this enormous facility.
The lodge's 108 rooms spread outwards from the central area, and, as such, accommodation at the furthest reaches is a few minutes’ walk away. Although most of the paths are sufficiently lit, guests may wish to bring a head torch for the less illuminated walkways at the outer reaches. There are 82 modest but comfortable standard rooms set beneath thatch roofs. Most of these are twin formation, and all have ensuite bathrooms. In addition, there 8 luxury rooms housing king-sized beds, and an open-plan lounge featuring a sofa bed. Recently refurbished, the décor is clean and modern, with air conditioning, satellite TV, mini-fridge, safe, free WiFi, a tea and coffee station, telephone, and hair-dryer. Laundry is available at additional cost.
Although the extensive facilities at the lodge provide ample opportunities for entertainment and relaxation, its exclusive proximity to Etosha National Park is the real draw. Open-vehicle drives lasting a morning, afternoon, or a whole day are professionally guided, and promise amazing wildlife encounters and impressive game-viewing. Those with younger children should also take advantage of the Ontouka Reptile Park on site at Mokuti, with its illuminating talks on resident snakes, crocodiles, and turtles. Feeding sessions are a highlight! For those wishing to explore the surrounding landscape on foot, a network of hiking trails begin from the lodge.
Mokuti is well suited to families, with no charge for children under 6 years of age. There is the option for up to 2 children to occupy sofa beds in the open-plan lounges of the ‘luxury’ rooms, or for those families requiring more privacy, the eight ‘luxury family’ rooms have a separate bedroom and lounge housing sofa beds and a shared bathroom. The plentiful facilities ensure a variety of activity and entertainment options for younger family members; from the children's splash pool and play area, to the games room and tennis courts for older children. Cots and high chairs are available, as well as a babysitting service. Although recommended for any age, it is essential that parents are vigilant of their children's whereabouts at all times, as the area is home an abundance of wildlife.
Mokuti Etosha Lodge is a large and somewhat commercial option for those seeking the comfort and entertainment of a facility-rich resort, along with convenient ease of access to northern Namibia's impressive scenery and wildlife.

Hi Lisa, We had a fabulous time thank you. The accommodation and other ideation were all terrific - that’s so much for your help. The apartment in Cape Town was particularly good - we would never have found that: Boschendal was great as well and game lodge was superb. Thanks again, Alistair

Dear Lisa
Well, we are back and still buzzing. We have had a marvellous time. The weather helped. We left Manchester in the snow and arrived in Marrakesh at 30 degrees. We were well looked after in the Riad. I'm glad we booked a meal for the first evening - ate it on the roof terrace. We can recommend that. It was delicious. We ate at the Foundouk, as per your recommendation and on the following night we ate at Le Jardin - got lost on the way to it!. We can really recommend Le Jardin.
The following day we went to Majorelle gardens. Fortunately we had looked it up before we travelled because you have to book in advance online only from Jan 2023. We found our own way to the Medera Ben Yousef and Latifa took us to Bahia Palace - both were stunning.
The following morning our lovely taxi driver Mohammond collected us to go to the EcoLodge. Yet another Mohammond made us very welcome. Again we ate well! You were right, the pool was freezing, but I can't sit next to water and not get in. Once you're in you forget how cold it is! I wasn't the only person to try the pool.
Rashid, our guide for our walk collected us. He was brilliant. It was hard work, but worth it. I was determined I would make it. Kevin is fitter than me! The Berber family were lovely. We stopped when we were nearly there to see how rag rugs were made. When we got back Rashid and Mohammond confessed that Mohammond had said to Rashid that he should get us to a road if we got too tired and they would send a taxi (or a mule!) to collect us - or me, but Rashid was sure that I'd be OK. He was right. I think they wondered about these 2 70+ year olds. We can't praise Rashid enough. He had walked over from Imlil in the morning and was going to walk back after he left us.
Thank you so much for putting our holiday together. We never thought it would be 3 years before we went. We are so glad we persevered. We did wonder what we had let ourselves in for as 2 oldies!
Fiona and Kevin
