Huab Lodge
With a hearty welcome to Huab Lodge in the heart of Namibia, Jan and Suzi van de Reep invite you to recover from the stresses of your day to day lives and to discover and absorb the soul of the African bush. Enjoy the comforts of the lodge, the relaxed atmosphere and the personal attention as well as the stunning landscape with its impressive variety of animal and plant life. Discover for yourself or together with a knowledgeable guide the beauty and the fascination of 'the place where kopjes grow like giant mushrooms and elephants tread like ants' as so succinctly expressed by Oria Douglas-Hamilton.
Huab Lodge began as an idea to generate funds to save the desert-dwelling elephant from being harassed and shot. Since 1992 awareness has increased, as has tourism and the "value" of the elephant is changing. The original farmland is a small, unique area called Monte Carlo which boasts stunning views bisected by the mostly dry Huab River. The former rest camp which accommodated tourists in the 1970s now houses the lodge's staff. At a special site just down river from the old rest camp, where the Germans built the so-called German Bath in the late 1800s, Huab Lodge was erected. 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!
Huab Lodge with all it has to offer and being off the beaten track is not a place for a single night-stop. You should allow several days to enjoy and absorb the tranquillity and quiet, the welcoming and comfortable atmosphere, and the many activities. There is an airstrip near the lodge.
Huab Lodge is a charming, unpretentious Africa-style lodge, where guests quickly feel at home. Every year since it began, Huab Lodge has received a prize in the Best Lodge category in the Hospitality Association of Namibia's guest appraisal contest as well as Iwanowski's Golden Award. Huab Lodge continues to be revisited by its guests and is recommended to their friends.
