About Etosha King Nehale
Strikingly set on the Andoni plains, one kilometer from Etosha National Park's King Nehale gate is Etosha King Nehale. The lodge effortlessly portrays the shape of an Nguni cattle head, with chalets stunningly furrowed to the north and south, from the central area like a bull's horns.
Upon walking into the reception and curio shop, boma and dining areas, the Oshiwambo ethos is intriguingly evident from colors, fabrics, cutlery, chandelier, table engravings with impactful proverbs and other embellishments.
The chalets are spacious and stylishly adorned with a touch of Oshiwambo cultural ornaments, and each has its own plunge pool, allowing guests to behold boundless horizons of the Andoni plains. – Fit for a king and queen.
The lodge hosts 40 rooms and pays homage to the rich cultural heritage of the area. There is one detail that puts this lodge over the top: It is its private access to a secluded waterhole, Ontalelo Outpost, which is set in the Etosha National Park.

This waterhole is reserved for Etosha King Nehale guests allowing them to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature and observe the rich diversity of the animal world in this corner of paradise.
To the north, the conservancy is surrounded by the pulsating life of the communal areas of the Oshikoto, Oshana, Ohangwena and Omusati regions. This new Gondwana lodge gives guests the opportunity to combine the natural wonders of Etosha with the cultural vibrancy of the Aawambo people.
With a stay at Etosha King Nehale in Omuthiya, you'll be 3.1 mi (5 km) from King Nehale Gate and 29.9 mi (48.1 km) from Fort Namutoni. This lodge is 27.7 mi (44.6 km) from Onankali Mahangu Papermaking Co-Operative.

A great hotel, nice design that respects the environment and blend in. Had a beautiful shop (if you need one) - be aware that dinner is not included as in the other hotels.
Jill
The experience of having an unhindered view of the grassland while lying in the bed is beyond words. This accommodation provides a great experience in feeling remote, but in a safe, convenient, and luxurious environment. The place is away from the main tourist crowd and is worth the drive further north to the King Nehale Gate. Representation of the Aawambo people and culture is beautifully detailed through the decor, hospitality, and food options. I wish I could have the interior designer work on my house!
Our family enjoyed the stay and wished we could stay longer. Although we were on a family trip, the location would be ideal for a romantic getaway.
The afternoon safari guide was well done. The hot water does run out, so time showers according. Laundry service is stellar, the room was immaculately clean, the food is top-notch, and the staff provide an authentic and welcoming environment. I greatly recommend this lodging.

We spent two nights at the lodge while exploring north/east of Etosha national park and we absolutely loved it. It’s a hidden gem with its own private entrance gate and view of the national park. Staff and service is fantastic as well.
Colin
The staff were the best. Warm, friendly, and helpful.
The rooms were outstanding.
I will definitely go back again!

Great stay.
Great 2 night stay here. Amazing hotel. Loved the patio plunge pool. Room was fabulous. Restaurant and bar area great. Loved the fire pit area! Also Pre booked a morning game drive which was really good.
Shannon
Wonderful safari experience; excellent service; beautiful surroundings; private lodges; lovely experience

The room with private pool was absolutely beautiful! Food was good. Waterhole excursion was good, just the road needs some work and it’s quite a distance away. We wish we had not booked game drives prior as we ended up doing our own drive into the park, saw lots, big herds of elephant are great to see.
Pamela

Thank you Gondwana
A real treat, an unassuming oasis at the top of Etosha. Excellent value and great staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I’ve found all the Gondwana lodges to be superb.
Catherine
Unbelievable, the staff were so lovely and the food was amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice. Will definitely be back
Elizabeth
Our favourite hotel in Namibia!
By far the best room I stayed in in Namibia. Large, bright and luxurious, with lots of welcome extras, and the plunge pool so refreshing at the end of the day. The food was very good and the staff were tripping over themselves to offer us help. There were lots of animals at nearby watering holes. It’s relatively new and my advice would be to get there before the secret is out!
Brian
This was our second stay at the Etosha King and it wasn't as good as our first. We were very much looking forward to our stay here after a excellent experience in 2021.
The rooms were just as good, the separate villas with private plunge pool are comfortable and of high quality. Our guide, Davis was also very good after we spent the morning with him in the park and afternoon at the waterhole.
The difference this year was at meals and within administration, where the staff appeared under trained and under resourced. A light lunch took over a hour to arrive, drink service was very slow, our final invoice was mishandled and the property took money from my credit card for the stay that should only have been paid at departure, (which may or may not have been already refunded).
Its difficult to recommend this property at this time. The park is very close and has excellent animal and birdlife. The rooms are very good with really nice views of open savannah. Apart from one shinning light at the restaurant, (the guys who brings the schnapps helped as much as possible to look after us), it feels like a very demotivated team here.

Nice property. Liked the new concept of private pool at the rooms

Personnel attentionné et dévoué, pour la nourriture c’est bon mais sans plus . Game Drive
Julia
The cottages are beautifully located on the plains next to Etosha park with an unobstructed view towards the horizon for perfect sunsets. Staff was very friendly and the food was great! Only thing to keep in mind is that from King Nehale Gate it is a 40min drive through the park to the waterholes close to Namutoni. But also the area around King Nehale gate is great for spotting animals!
Yvonne
Direkt an der Einfahrt zum Etosha Nationalpark. Sehr schöne Lodge, der kleine private Pool auf der Terasse mit Blick in die Savanne einfach der Hammer. Die Häuser groß, mit viel Platz für Gepäck. Das Essen sehr gut mit viel Auswahl beim Dinner sowie beim Frühstück.
Nils
Super schöne Lodge…….
Michael
Liegt etwas sehr abseits, man muss schon etwa 40 min in den Park reinfahren damit es richtig losgeht.
aber das 1 Std. Fahet entfernte private Wasserloch ist mega. Muss man unbwdingt machen.
