We’ve have just come back from a 3 night stay at earth lodge. One word incredible. We got to see the big 5 and a lot more animals. The game drives were amazing. The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great. The service and operational standards at this hotel are exceptional. I would 100% stay at this lodge again it was such an incredible experience

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.

From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.

Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.

Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.

Grootberg Lodge – Namibia Accommodation

At the lodge, you will be greeted with the warmth for which Namibians are famous, along with cool drinks and warm towels to remove dust. You can start organising your activities or head straight to your rooms for a well-earned nap!
Grootberg Lodge has been planned to optimise the breathtaking vistas in every way. You'll feel as though you can look out to the very ends of the world while enjoying a drink on the edge of this breathtaking plateau, whether it's because of the large windows in the dining room and lounge, the spacious deck with plenty of seating, the inviting infinity pool, or the guest rooms themselves.
Grootberg Lodge is located in Namibia's Damaraland, an area renowned for its untamed vistas, varied fauna that has adapted to the desert, and rough terrain. The resort, which is situated on the Grootberg Plateau, is near the Skeleton Coast and Etosha National Park and provides breathtaking views of the Kliphiver Valley. In addition to larger mammals like desert-adapted elephants, the region is home to a diversity of fauna, including several uncommon and secretive desert species. Additionally, the lodge is in a prime location to see antelope, big predators, and a variety of birds.
Grootberg Lodge in Namibia welcomes children of all ages, but there are some restrictions on activities and supervision: Accommodation: Children under 6 years stay free when sharing with parents. Children aged 6–16 pay 50% of the adult sharing rate. Children 17 and older pay the full adult rate. Family rooms can accommodate two adults and two children under 12. Activities: Children can participate in activities under the supervision of their parents. Children under 12 cannot participate in rhino tracking activities. The rhino-tracking trip is not suitable for children under 12 because of the strenuous walk and safety concerns. Supervision: Parents should constantly supervise children, especially when they are joining activities. The area is rocky, and the patio and pool areas are steep. Extra beds: Grootberg Lodge does not offer extra beds. Crib: Grootberg Lodge does not have capacity for cribs.
