Mount Etjo Safari Lodge, situated in the Okonjati wilderness area 255 km north of Windhoek, is one of the best-known Namibian lodges in international circles.
It was established 24 years ago by Jan Oelofse, an expert in conservation.
The dam at the lodge, as well as the waterhole close to the Black Rhino Bush Camp, is bird-watcher's paradise.
The secluded eight-hut bush camp with its communal recreational area nestling in the thick bush, is latest addition to Mount Etjo.
The camp is perfect for small groups, managerial get-togethers and weekend brainstorming.

It was founded by the world-renowned conservationist, Jan Oelofse. Etjo means 'A place of refuge.' The camp is a perfect destination for small groups and managerial gatherings, and for self-drive tourists traveling to Etosha National Park, and further north on to the Caprivi.
The new Namibia was born at Mount Etjo Lodge, where the historic 1989 Mount Etjo Declaration was signed under the supervision of the United Nations.
The swimming pool and garden at the main lodge overlook a waterhole, where hippo, nyala and porcupine visit on a regular basis.
It is an ideal opportunity for guests to observe animals quenching their thirst, whilst enjoying a drink at the bar themselves.
It goes without saying that the closeness of the animals here, offer an excellent opportunity for nature lover and photographer alike.
Ornithologists should head to the dam at the lodge, a bird watchers paradise.

Due to our black Rhino Breeding Program in conjunction with the Namibian Government, the lions are kept on a large separate portion of the game sanctuary, mainly by feeding them at a specific spot. This minimizes predation on black rhino calves and other rare species roaming the Sanctuary.

are offered as well as walks to the famous Dinosaur Footprints, dating back to 230 Million years, described as Saurichnians.
Four different tracks have been found, however too little evidence has as yet been found to confirm the exact species.
For shorter walks, participate on the guided walks to the fossilised Buffalo Tracks, which give the sanctuary it's name "Okonjati".
