Frequently Asked Questions

We're planning a trip to Africa Safari Lodge and want to know the absolute best time to visit for wildlife viewing near Hardap Game Park.

We love visiting Africa Safari Lodge during the dry season, from May to October. The temperatures are pleasant, and the limited water sources concentrate wildlife, making game drives incredibly rewarding. You'll find the animals are easier to spot against the sparser vegetation, and the birdlife is still vibrant.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see on a game drive from Africa Safari Lodge, and are there any unique species we should look out for?

While Hardap Game Park isn't known for the 'big five' like some other reserves, we've always been impressed by the variety of plains game. Expect to see oryx, springbok, kudu, and Hartmann's mountain zebra. Keep an eye out for the endemic black rhino, which is a special sighting, and the birdwatching is exceptional with many endemic species.

Africa Safari Lodge is listed as luxury. Can you give us a sense of what that means in terms of the accommodation and overall experience?

The lodge truly embodies understated luxury. We found the rooms to be spacious and elegantly appointed, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Expect impeccable service, gourmet meals often enjoyed under the stars, and a tranquil atmosphere that feels both exclusive and deeply relaxing.

Beyond game drives, what other activities does Africa Safari Lodge offer that we shouldn't miss?

We highly recommend dedicating time to the spa and wellness facilities; they are a true sanctuary after a day in the bush. The bird watching opportunities are also phenomenal, with guided walks available. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the smaller details of the Namibian landscape.

Considering Africa Safari Lodge's location, what are the practicalities regarding getting there and safety for guests?

Getting to Africa Safari Lodge is straightforward, typically involving a scenic drive from Windhoek. The lodge itself is very secure, and the staff are experienced in ensuring guest safety both on property and during excursions. We've always felt well looked after, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience.
