Uukwaluudhi Safari Lodge, north of Etosha National Park in the arid Kunene region, offers travellers a chance to follow Black Rhino on foot, and see the wildlife of the Kaokoland.
The lodge offers early morning sunrise game drives, Rhino tracking on foot, guided hikes, afternoon sun downer game drives and half and full day Mountain biking.
Instead of walls around the main area, the large thatch roof rests on sturdy timber pillars that allow for the open veranda-like atmosphere that accentuates the impressive panoramic vista from the hill it is built on. The view from the top of this outpost stretches across dense combretum or “Leadwood” and terminalia trees to the foot of the hill, where the view continues across flats of semi-savannah and dry flood plains, occasionally dotted by grazing antelope and plains zebra. The tranquillity of the surrounding bush blends in perfectly with the ambience at dinner or while lingering around the bar in the company of other safari enthusiasts sharing their stories and travel experiences through Africa.
