MOKUTI ETOSHA

Africa Re-Imagined — In the Forest at Etosha East

About Mokuti Etosha

Mokuti Etosha is situated right outside the Von Lindequist Gate near the historic Namutoni Fort. Located on its own private 4,300-hectare nature reserve, Mokuti Etosha is the closest lodge to the Etosha National Park, sharing a common border with the park boundaries. Upon arrival, a cool, green tropical oasis welcomes guests.

Charming thatched buildings and three sparkling pools situated amongst the vast and lush gardens give credibility to the name “Mokuti”, which in Ovambo means “in the forest”. An authentic, warm Namibian welcome awaits guests at this intimate 114-room lodge, with its extensive, world-class facilities shaped by the land's history and the passionate hospitality of its people.

Accommodation & Safari Chalets

The lodge offers 114 rooms with a scenic view of the sprawling gardens or the wild bush, situated in separate one-story chalet-style buildings with authentic thatched roofs in a large, landscaped garden setting. The room configurations include:

  • 106 Double / Twin Rooms: Built for up to 2 adults (plus 1 cot for infants aged 0-2 years).

Sports, Wellness & Unparalleled Safari

The lodge offers a wide range of innovative relaxation and wellness options. Guests can rejuvenate at the Omulilo Spa, stay active in the fully equipped gym, or enjoy a match on the tennis court. The expansive grounds provide unique opportunities for wildlife encounters with resident bonteboks and squirrels, walking trails, and game viewing at the property's four private waterholes.

For wildlife enthusiasts, Mokuti Etosha provides unparalleled access to Etosha National Park. Twice-daily game drives in open safari vehicles, led by expert guides, present close encounters with Africa’s Big 4—elephants, lions, leopards, and the endangered black rhino. Additionally, night drives on the private Mokuti estate provide a rare opportunity to spot nocturnal animals, while birdwatching is a highlight within the lush surroundings. Beyond game drives, guests can enjoy enriching cultural experiences, including fascinating bush walks with the Hai//om people providing direct insight into their traditional way of life and ancient knowledge of the bush.
