About Dolomite Resort
Dolomite Resort is situated in the picturesque, elevated western region of Etosha National Park — an area that was previously restricted and closed to mainstream tourism for decades. Built atop a striking dolomite ridge, the resort offers breathtaking 360-degree views across the surrounding plains and lush vegetation.
Due to the limited presence of tourism in this sector, the surrounding area boasts exceptionally rich biodiversity. Wildlife enthusiasts are treated to a staggering 15 waterholes in the immediate vicinity, attracting an abundance of game. Guests frequently observe both Black and White Rhinos at nearby hotspots like the Klip-pan waterhole. To maximize sightings, specially arranged game drives take visitors into exclusive areas typically reserved for conservationists.
Accommodation Options
Dolomite Resort provides an exclusive lodge experience with 20 luxurious thatched chalets perched along the ridge:
- 3 Deluxe Chalets: Premium units featuring private plunge pools on the deck, king-size beds, mosquito netting, and panoramic views over the western park horizon.
- 17 Bush Chalets: Elegantly appointed chalets equipped with en-suite bathrooms, comfortable lounge seating, and large glass doors opening onto private wooden viewing decks.
