Constructed to mirror the nearby mountains and seamlessly integrate with the rugged landscapes, Huab Lodge emerged from a commitment to raise funds for the conservation of the desert-adapted elephants that inhabit this expansive region.
Stone and thatch bungalows offer guests private, scenic views from the elevated north bank of the river, creating a serene retreat.
Huab Lodge is also home to a naturally occurring hot spring, so after a hard day of tracking the desert elephants along the Huab and Aba-Huab Rivers, relax in the warm mineral baths.
In keeping with the ambience at Huab, meals are enjoyed at a family table. Here it’s about making friends, exchanging opinions, kicking off your shoes, and making yourself at home.
The Lodge offers Eight African Style Thatched Stone-built Bungalows spread along the elevated northern banks of the Huab River, accommodating a maximum of 16 guests.
Each bungalow has a large private patio and is tastefully furnished with two extra-long double beds. Large windows and sliding doors allow in both light and views across the Huab.
The Lodge provides 24-hour 220-volt power thanks to a silent solar energy plant concealed on the hill, and the chemically untreated water has a neutral pH value. Each bungalow is equipped with mosquito nets and a ceiling fan, and while there are no coffee and tea facilities inside the rooms, an early morning beverage can easily be arranged should guests request such.

After breakfast, embark on an excursion in an open vehicle to explore the nature reserve. Alternatively, you can enjoy another drive as the sun sets, complete with the obligatory sundowner!
Provided either before or after breakfast, guests have the opportunity to peruse the “bushman’s newspaper”.
Following a light breakfast, embark on a full-day excursion to search for the elusive desert-adapted elephant along the ephemeral Huab and Aba-Huab Rivers. The discovery of these magnificent creatures never fails to inspire awe. Light snacks and lunch will be provided during the journey.
Departing from the Lodge, at a pre-arranged time, head into the dry Huab riverbed. This is a leisurely journey, meandering along the ephemeral river, looking for the near-endemic bird species as well as flora and fauna.
Heading to the East, away from the Huab River valley, where there are examples of San art and rock engravings. Damaraland has been inhabited by indigenous tribes for more than 2,000 years and this excursion offers an interesting look at both the ancient and modern history of Namibia.
Situated halfway between Khorixas and Kamanjab in the north-west region of Namibia.
You can save approximately 70km by initially travelling 10km in the direction of Okaukuejo on the C38 road. After that, make a left turn and continue for another 40km on the tar road towards Kamanjab along the C40. Then, turn left once more onto the D3236. At the T-junction with the C35, head north towards Kamanjab for 15km.
Shortly after crossing a narrow bridge, take the left/west turn onto the D2670 road sign posted to Huab Lodge. As you proceed, the scenery becomes increasingly stunning, culminating in your arrival at Huab Lodge after covering 35km.
The total driving time is approximately 2.5 hours.
The journey typically takes about 1.5 hours at a safe speed, albeit without making stops to appreciate the surroundings.
