Hobatere Lodge - Damaraland Strip Namibia
Hobatere Lodge, bordering on western Etosha, lies in a concession area that has been privately run by Steve and Louise Braine for the past 12 years. The surrounding wilderness of 32 000 ha harbours elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, spotted and brown hyaena, gemsbok, eland, giraffe, kudu, springbok, Hartmann's zebra, aardvark, aardwolf, Cape fox and bat-eared fox.
The lodge has 12 thatched rooms and bungalows nestled between large mopane trees, a well-stocked bar, curio shop and a lounge with small library. Home-cooked buffet meals are served on a veranda overlooking a garden of indigenous plants, or in a boma under the stars.
