Huab Lodge

Huab Lodge is the home of Jan and Suzi van de Reep where they have started a remarkable exercise in conservation. Having bought 3 farms on the Huab River comprising 8000 hectares, they are establishing a private nature reserve where the desert adapted elephant, mountain zebra and other game can live and breed without being hassled and driven away by commercial farmers. This enterprise is already proving successful and more game is being seen all the time.

THE LODGE

Accommodating 16 people, the lodge is situated on the Huab River bordering Damaraland in dramatic mountain scenery.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Each of the 8 spacious semi detached thatched bungalows has a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains and strange rocky kopjes and is sited so that you cannot see anyone else from the wide verandahs. The rooms are beautifully designed with two large double beds, plenty of cupboard space, a loo and bathroom with shower and two basins.
The main thatch building has a dining room, bar and very comfortable sitting area again with a wonderful view. There is a small swimming pool and a hot spring.

LIGHTING

Solar power as 220V (24 hours). Video batteries can be charged.

ACTIVITIES

These vary from guided walks and drives in the magnificent and very varied landscape to days spent on horseback. There are over 150 species of birds and increasingly more game, including Damaraland elephant, mountain zebra, baboons, oryx and greater Kudu. Huab is also a wonderful place just to relax, in the thermal springs, swimming pool or on the bungalow verandah.
