I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit such a remarkable place. My family and I stayed at the Bush Villa Lodge, newly introduced in May, and it was nothing short of extraordinary.
Karin Wahl-Jorgensen
We stayed in one of the chalets at Otjiwa in July 2025. The chalet, though looking quite basic on the outside, was beautiful on the inside. The lodge itself is stunning and has excellent meals and a nice atmosphere.
