Huab Game Lodge, on the borders of Damaraland, has a stunning location on the banks of the seasonal Huab River in dramatic mountain scenery. This award winning private nature reserve was established as a refuge for the 'desert elephants'. Jan and his team offers unhurried, expert guiding either by 4x4 vehicle or on foot with the possibility of seeing elephant as well as zebra, kudu, or some of the 200 bird species. Other activities include visiting ancient rock paintings, enjoying Shiatsu massages, relaxing in the natural thermal hot springs or stargazing under the African skies. A resident arts and crafts artist produces jewellery, leatherwork and paintings on commission. Spacious thatch chalets are comfortable and well-equipped with ceiling fan and viewing deck. Good food and wine are served at the communal table for a convivial and relaxed evening with your hosts. |

Kate's comments after a visit in November:
"We really liked this lodge (as have all our previous clients) and feel that everyone who comes to Damaraland should stay here for at least part of their stay. There is something very special about it - the spectacular setting, Jan's relaxed expert guiding, the possibility of seeing desert elephant as well as zebra, kudu, gemsbok and the delightful hot springs. I can easily see why people would want to spend 3 nights or more there if they needed to relax.
The rooms are comfortable and well-equipped. Two double beds with overhead fan, fresh cold water, tea/coffee, electricity and a smart bathroom with double vanity and large shower. There's a large deck looking over the valley. The main lodge is large and relaxed in feel, open on all sides.
Jan takes you on an afternoon game drive around the concession which is extremely scenic, up and down hillsides and through dry river beds. En route you learn about the flora, the birds and the wildlife. The game is all free-roaming which means that you never know what you might see - gemsbok, kudu, mountain zebra and of course even desert elephant. The element of uncertainty is part of the charm but Jan's unhurried and calm exposition about life on the reserve is always enjoyable regardless of what you see. In the morning you enjoy an early morning walk from 6am to 7.45am before breakfast and then there is the option of another drive after breakfast so there's lots of opportunity to enjoy the reserve.
Dinner was a wonderful experience. Jan welcomes everyone and introduces the wines which we'd be having with dinner. The food was good and the emphasis was on relaxation and interesting conversation.
Finally the hot springs were a personal favourite! A short 2 minute walk from the pool deck brings you to the hot springs pool which is set under a thatched canopy with a couple of sun loungers and chairs, a hammock and a cold pool next to it for cooling off." |
