The award-winning Huab Lodge offers an hearty welcome, excellent accommodation and tasty meals. Although a bit of the normal tourist route around Namibia they pride themselves on their interesting nature drives and walks. It serves as a great base to explore the reserve where you will be accompanied by one of the countries top guides.
Huab Lodge began as an idea to generate funds to save the desert-dwelling elephant from being harassed and shot. The original farmland was in a small area called Monte Carlo, which boasts stunning views, bisected by the mostly dry Huab River. The Huab Conservation Trust was set up to protect the habitat of the desert elephant and other animals originally found in the area, from ever-expanding human activities. The Trust is actively bringing back the wildlife, which belongs on the banks of the river.The lodge was erected on a special site just down river from the old rest camp, where the colonial Germans built the so-called German Bath in the late 1800's. Despite its size, the unique main building blends well into its surroundings. The irregular thatch roof mirrors a mountain on the opposite bank. The stone and thatch bungalows spread along the elevated north bank of the river, ensuring a private and magnificent view - even from the shower!
Room
Accommodation is in 8 spacious, stone and thatch bungalows, sleeping a maximum of 16 guests. They all have a large private patio, and include a separate en-suite toilet, two hand-wash basins with mirrors. Even the shower has a view! Each room has two king size beds, and large windows enable an abundance of natural light to stream inside. The view across to the Huab River from here is wonderful. Tea and coffee making facilities are set out. Mosquito nets, a ceiling fan, and a torch are also on hand, as well as biologically degradable soaps and shampoo.
1 Bedroom
There are 8 spacious bungalows at Huab Lodge set in a staggered row up a slope - a design that ensures privacy for each room. The interior of each roomy bungalow is tastefully decorated with local materials and hand made furniture. There are two double beds, a table, chairs, mosquito nets and a ceiling fan. Tea/coffee making facilities and a flask of drinking water are set out on the table and a torch is provided. It is useful to have especially when walking back to your room at night!

Recreation
Your guide will show you many things such as the spoor of the brown hyena, the antlion's trap, the imprint of raindrops, the place where a duiker marked his territory, the droppings of a mopane worm! We call this: reading the bushman newspaper. All these things are important in nature. There is an ancient saying that if you see a tortoise the rain is on its way.
