Information
Mokuti Etosha Lodge WILL BE CLOSED FROM 22 MARCH 2022 FOR THE NEXT 12 TO 15 MONTHS FOR RENOVATIONS
Mokuti Etosha Lodge is situated only four minutes drive from the eastern Von Lindequist Gate near Namutoni Fort and is the closest lodge to the Etosha National Park. Located on its own private 4 000 hectare nature reserve, it shares a common border with this fascinating National Park. Upon arrival, a cool, green tropical oasis welcomes guests. Charming thatched buildings and two sparkling pools nestled among the vast indigenous gardens, give credence to the name “Mokuti”, which in Ovambo means “In the forest”.
Rooms
In the bedrooms, you can expect vintage four-poster beds, striped canvas walls and a separate ‘star gazer’ room that’s completely open to the sky for maximum galaxy-gazing as you fall asleep. Each bedroom also has an en-suite bathroom with both indoor and outdoor showers and a shaded, outdoor veranda. High thatched roofs will keep you cool during the hot desert days (and nights!) and you’ll be pleased to hear that the bedrooms are air conditioned too.

On the way back to your room along winding pathways, you frequently encounter our resident herd of placid bontebok, and the next morning, our squirrels who insist on sharing your breakfast.

Spend your evenings reminiscing on the wonderful sightings you enjoyed in Etosha National Park that day as you sit around an open fire at Mokuti Etosha Lodge. Dinner is served in the Tambuti Dining Room and Terrace, the African Boma or even al fresco under the towering trees in the garden.
Tambuti Dining Room and Terrace

Our dinners are either buffet-style or a three course set menu with three choices per course. On certain evenings dinners are served in the garden, under the trees.
African Boma
The African Boma is a traditional kraal/enclosure with an open fireplace and a braai/BBQ pit in the centre. On certain evenings you can enjoy your traditional Namibian braai (BBQ) dinner and a choice of South African wines in the Boma.
Pool Bar & Terrace
The Pool Bar & Terrace is open all day and serves à la carte snacks, teas and coffees as well as lunch. The Pool Bar is also a great spot to lounge around and share your Etosha experiences with your fellow guests.
