Surrounded by the ancient Lake Otjikoto and the famous wildlife conservation area of Etosha National Park, !Uris Safari Lodge also attracts tourists en route to Kunene, Kaokoland, and Southern Angola.
For visitors interested in gemstones and minerals, !Uris Safari Lodge borders several historic German and Artesian mines.
Historically, there were eight houses accommodating mineworkers in the early 1900s, locally referred to as a "kompong." These houses have been revamped, and now !Uris Safari Lodge features these cosy houses as comfortably furnished brick and thatch chalets, each with air-conditioning and an en-suite bathroom.
All room names refer to current and previously existing mines. We accommodate a maximum of 42 guests in 14 rooms, consisting of seven semi-detached chalets.
