Etosha Aoba Lodge is situated near Etosha National Park in a Tamboti-Terminalia forest next to a dry river bed. Guided game drives into Etosha National Park or sundowner drives on the farm are available if pre-booked. There are also walking trails on the Fischers Pan Private Game Reserve which you can take at your leisure. Even if you are staying close to the pool or on the veranda, you are likely to see bushbabies, birds and squirrels, and you need not wander far for the chance to see antelope.
Okaukuejo camp is the oldest tourist camp in Etosha and it currently functions as the administrative hub of the park, and the home of the Etosha Ecological Institute. It is situated at the western end of the pan.
The main attraction of this camp is that it overlooks a permanent waterhole which is floodlit at night, giving you an opportunity to see some of the shy, nocturnal wildlife. The animals that visit the waterhole appear to be unaware of the Okaukuejo camp.
Twyfelfontein Lodge is situated only 4km from the rock engravings at Twyfelfontein. The lodge is an excellent place from which to explore the attractions of Damaraland.

Interesting rock formations and the remains of prehistoric volcanic action can be seen in the Organ Pipes, Burnt Mountain, Doros Crater and the Petrified Forest among the most prominent geographic features.
The Twyfelfontein Country Lodge, situated in the heart of the Twyfelfontein Uibasen Conservancy, boasts 56 en-suite double rooms, reception, lounge, curio shop, dining room, bar and swimming pool. The development was done to minimise the visual impact on the environment and blends into the mountain side with the use of thatch rooms, natural stone and paint colours blending with the surrounding rock formations. The central thatch building has a pool, reception, curio shop, bar, lounge and restaurant - this range of areas gives guests a good choice of relaxation areas.
