We stayed here for several days in late 2005, and absolutely loved it. Very friendly and we appreciated the tremendous knowledge of Jan about local wildlife. Guided walks were superb and we had a close-up of fighting desert elephants one night No it's not got the big animal density of Etosha, but it's a different sort of place.

Reception was quite alright and then they clean your dusty car after quite a long travel to get there - in a not overly exciting environment. Omaruru region and Namib desert are by far more interesting. The bungalows are very much outdated - nothing more to say here. Ok, the hot water spring is quite interesting and comfortable, but again,... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Huab lodge during our family road trip through Namiba. Having visited various lodges throughout our journey, this one is still our favourite. It is a hidden gem at the end of a long dirt road but definitly worth the drive. The lodge itsself is run by Jan and his wife who are the most... More

My wife, our 14 yo daughter and I stayed there for 2 nights in July and from that time on the place is still somewhere in my mind... I have been to many different places in southern Africa but Huab Lodge has something very special. It is not the big 5, even if you may see elephants and leopard with... More

We stayed in August and I did not feel comfortable there. At arrival we were greeted nicely by the ranger, the female owner seemed rather reserved. The bungalows are spacious but you can see the signs of decay. Some windows you can not close properly and believe me you want to close them during the night when it is winter... More

Number one in Damaraland? You gotta be kidding me. Only if you are very, very elderly and your idea of a safari drive is 2 hours drive at 6 km per hour, covering only the backyard of Huab Lodge where you'll hardly see anything else apart from the owner's dogs and some springboks, oryxes and some birds. Hm, not what... More

In the lodge there were only 2 couples. Had to sit at the same table with the crew and the owners - total of them 13!!!!! Like we bumped in at their lunch/dinner/party! If the lodge conception is that we should hang together with other guest, that is ok, but with the staff, that was a little bit weird. You... More

Many of the lodges in NAMIBIA are boutique. This is not but is every bit a great place to stay. The place is beautifully located and constructed to get the best of the views. The main lodge is large and comfortable, encouraging you to sit and socialise whilst watching the bird and wildlife. The owners and staff are very welcoming... More

This is a great place to stop en route from Swakopmund to Etosha. The main Lodge is open air (ie a roof but no walls) and I would describe our bedroom as "rustic". Each room is large and set apart from the others and whilst they may not be as luxurious as other lodges we stayed in, they were certainly... More
