The cultural heritage of the Aawambo people is clearly depicted at this luxurious lodge on the Andoni plains, which is situated in the King Nehale Conservancy, on the border of the Etosha National Park.
Exclusivity is the key at King Nehale Lodge with private access to a remote waterhole in Etosha, at the Ontalelo Outpost. The Lodge is 1 km from Etosha's new King Nehale Entrance gate on the northern side of the park.
The chalets - laid out in the shape of a Nguni cattle head - are something special to behold, with each chalet having its own plunge pool and shaded patio with comfortable loungers where you can soak in the views over the Andoni Pan, grassy plains, Baobab and Palm trees and spectacular African sunsets.
