Huab Lodge

Huab has a truly exceptional setting, being properly remote and untouched. Not only does one get to see desert elephants on a game drive with the lovely Deon, but one gets to meet desert elephants who are not used to seeing anyone else drive through but him, max once a day, so it really feels like a wild encounter! The staff is exceptionally pleasant and caring, the owners are truly fabulous people, and the rooms are beautiful and spacious. We came in November when the day temperatures were hitting 40 degrees and yet the rooms felt cool enough for our babies nap during the day, and opening the windows at night made for a very cool sleep, so the lack of aircon didn't end up being a problem. The pool is really special, and the thatch bar/restaurant area has a unique character and beautiful views. The food was surprisingly good and varied for a place this remote in the middle of the Namibian desert too! We felt incredibly welcome and looked after by the small team, which made for a very special and intimate experience, the perfect ending of our Namibia trip after the business of Etosha national parks!

I initially struggled with the lack of aircon because i hadn't opened all our windows, but quickly came to appreciate the ecological end sustainable approach to this desert lodge.

Our hosts were so nice and gave us a very warm welcome. We made a tour to see the elephants in the desert and were actually lucky to see them. It was a short but wonderful stay there. Thank you for hosting us!

Our stay at Huab Lodge was simply a dream! We were very warmly welcomed and the location is absolutely unique. The food was also excellent. Our absolute highlight was the River Drive. The nature and also the elephants were really breathtaking. What we really liked was how respectful the handling of the elephants was. It was left enough distance to the elephants and also respected when the signal came that we should "move on". Nevertheless, we were able to spend a lot of time with the elephants. You just noticed that they are free and wild elephants, which made everything even more unique. By far the best drive of the entire vacation.

Great remote location! The owner offers a lot of excursions to explore the area.

Wonderful nature experience plus excellent service

We had a great time at Huab Lodge. I wish we had more time so we could participate in one of the activities they offer. It's a quiet and tranquil place and offers a special and unique experience. Very recommended

Deon and Lydia went out of their way to make the stay comfortable. They were exceptional in guest relations and assisted us in many other matters

Location was very remote (which can be a good thing as well). Rooms were too dark, no AC and lacking ventilation

Very nice lodge in a beautiful setting. Excellent hosts Dion and Lidia, nice dinner with discussions with other, interesting guests. Dion took us to an interesting evening trip along the Huab river bed. Sure to return next time we are in Namibia.
