Activities

 Take a walk at sunrise! Your guide will show you many things such as the spoor of the brown hyaena, the antlion's trap, the imprint of raindrops, the place where a duiker marked his territory, the droppings of a mopane worm! We call this: reading the bushman newspaper. All these things are important in nature. There is an ancient saying that if you see a tortoise the rain is on its way.

After breakfast go on a drive in the 8,000 hektare private nature reserve and find out more about the fascinating aspects of life out there. Enjoy the breath taking views that keep changing and offering different geological formations.

The afternoon drive will take you into a completely different area such as the Huab River course itself. here there is water on the surface and you drive through stretches of it. Animals and birds come to drink here and on the steep banks of the river you can find klipspringer and rock hyrax, kudu and black eagles nesting.

Join us on the tracks of the Desert Elephant, search for nearly 200 species of birds, wonder about the ancient rock art and the people who made it, discover the southern skies at night - or just relax.

Hiking at Huab

Huab Lodge offers great hiking along unmarked trails up the mountains surrounding the lodge. Orientation is easy from the heights of the mountains and because of the river bed running parallel to them. Some hikes start at the lodge and head for chosen peaks walking along game trails. They may be undertaken alone or with a guide. Hip carriers are provided with water, cool drinks and a snack, as well as a walkie talkie and a walking stick. The views are phenomenal from the Brandberg to the Grootberg and the morning and evening light provide excellent photographic opportunities. Other hikes start at a point away from the lodge and hikers are driven to the starting point early in the morning. Less strenuous walks can of course be selected. There is something for everyone!

But there are not only activities at Huab Lodge.  Discover Namibia the way it is with someone who knows and cares. Absorb the stunning landscapes, the varied peoples and the prolific game as well as the hospitality of Namibia. Get to see the wonders of northern Namibia with a professional guide. There is a choice of daytrips or overnight trips and nothing is written in stone - take your pick, make your choice.
