Etosha National Park is one of the main places to be visited by both local and international tourists in Namibia, a country of breathtaking beauty, spectacular landscapes and unmatched hospitality. Etosha is a sanctuary for African wildlife and is located around a massive, white salt-pan in the northern part of the country.
Less than 50 km from the Anderson Gate entrance to the park and only a few kilometres from the small town of Outjo, Okutala Etosha Lodge is located on a beautiful private reserve, covering 24 000 hectares.
The reserve provides an extended natural habitat for wildlife and also ample opportunity for guests to have close encounters with these animals and learn more about them in the educational centre on the property.
