Sundowner drive
An absolute highlight at the Etosha Aoba Lodge in Namibia is a sundowner drive. About two hours before sunset we drive into the bush with an off-road vehicle. On the way to our Sundowner place at Fishers Pan our guides will talk about the miracles of nature. In the great outdoors it is not possible to say which kind of game you will see. Each tour is different and brings new experiences and surprises. With a glass of gin-tonic in hand we savour an unforgettable sundowner at Fischers Pan.
Etosha National Park Game Drives
Being directly adjacent to the Etosha National Park the Aoba Lodge is a perfect starting point for game viewing. The excellent infrastructure of the park invites you to venture out in your own vehicle. But if you prefer to concentrate on game viewing and photography we recommend our Etosha safari game drive. Our guide chauffeurs you through the National Park in our open off-road vehicle and enlightens you on all topics pertaining to the environment and conservation.
Botanical trail
There is a short nature path along the dry river bed Omuramba Owambo leading from the Lodge to a waterhole near by. We have marked all interesting trees and bushes with numbers on a 2km long route. In a detailed list you can read all about the special characteristics of these plants. If you prefer, one of our tour guides can accompany you. At the waterhole there is a small hide where you can stay a while and watch the activities - particularly in the early morning or evening.
Bird watching
There are wonderful bird watching possibilities all around the Etosha Aoba Lodge. In addition to the resident bird population the various migratory birds enhance the variety. The small bird bath next to the terrace of the Lapa attracts many birds.
