Etosha Village

Etosha Village lies in mopane woodland just 2 km before Andersson Gate, the most commonly used southern entry to Etosha National Park near Okaukuejo. The position makes dawn and dusk excursions into Etosha simple, while keeping you in a quieter setting outside the park. Driving time from Windhoek is roughly five to six hours via Okahandja and Outjo on mostly paved roads. The property forms part of the Taleni Africa collection and shares the broader area with the Etosha Trading Post and other facilities, offering a practical, comfortable base for self-drive travelers and guided safari guests alike.

Accommodation is in 55 standalone bungalows designed for privacy and comfort. Each unit offers an air-conditioned bedroom, an en-suite bathroom with solar-heated shower, a shaded patio or seating area, a refreshment station, and private parking alongside the unit. Select units include a sleeper couch suitable for children, allowing small families to share. Interiors are simple and functional—well suited to hot, dry conditions—while the outdoor seating areas invite guests to relax between activities. Compared with the large park camps, these units provide a calmer atmosphere and more modern amenities, with easy access to Etosha’s game-rich landscapes.

The hub features three restaurant seating areas and a distinctive bar with a big-screen TV—useful for catching major sports while on safari. Outside, landscaped lawns surround three swimming areas, including a dedicated kiddies’ pool, creating a family-friendly space to cool off after game drives. A utility/curio shop stocks travel essentials and souvenirs. Signature experiences include a seasonal boma dinner in the mopane forest (typically dry-season months) and a stargazing deck. Guided sunrise nature walks run on the reserve, while guided game drives access Etosha via Andersson Gate. Wi-Fi is available in common areas and some rooms.
