The Anderson Gate is the main entrance to Etosha National Park and is most often used by tourists visiting this beautiful area to enjoy a truly African experience. The last town before you reach the park is Outjo, which is located about an hour's drive from Anderson Gate.
Buschfeld Park is a private reserve not far from Outjo and just 45 minute's drive from Etosha. Ijoba Lodge is a sustainable, environmentally conscious lodge and its location makes it the ideal place to stay from which Etosha and other attractions like the Vingerklip and Ugab Terraces can be visited.
