A community-owned lodge with expansive views just outside Palmwag
Perched on the edge of the Etendeka Plateau, Grootberg Lodge can probably lay claim to being located in one of the most spectacular settings of any lodge in Namibia. Built to uplift the local community, the lodge supports the local ≠Khoadi//Hoas group with an education and wildlife fund. The 14 Twin and 2 Family rock and thatch chalets are all individually decorated and carry a homely and welcoming atmosphere, with views of the Klip River Valley and Black Eagles soaring right below the private decks. The pool area and outdoor deck also afford breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, which guests can enjoy over a drink after a hard day’s safari.

You’ll be relieved to hear that the dramatic and glorious Damaraland is a year-long destination! However, the best time to visit is in May through to September, due to animals frequenting waterholes, so you’ll be spoiled with especially rare sightings. If you want Damaraland all to yourself, avoid visiting in July to September when some places can get rather busy. From October to January things can get heated during the day, so come prepared with clothes to stay cool and enough water to hydrate you during your daily experiences!
