Location:- The name Hobatere means, “Find me” and once you do, you will enjoy a warm welcome and personalized service. Hobatere Lodge is located 80 km north of Kamanjab on the western border of the Etosha National park, situated in a concession area of 32 000 ha which is home to a wide selection of game including Lions, Oryx, Eland, Kudu, Giraffe, Hartmann’s mountain zebra and Elephants.

Our activities give our guests ample opportunity to spot game, including game drives and night drives, bird watching and guided walks. We also have a hide overlooking a nearby waterhole and a sundeck with a view of a waterhole, which is floodlit for part of the night.

It is in a dry riverbed and overlooks a waterhole. Overnight here for a sense of real adventure and in the morning be collected for hearty breakfast at the lodge.
