Surrounded by scrub-covered plains on white calcrete soils and against the backdrop of the low Ondundozonanandana Mountains, Andersson's Camp is situated close to Etosha National Park. The original farmstead has been rebuilt and now forms the main area of the lodge.
The tents are a stylish and environmentally sensitive combination of calcrete stone cladding, canvas and wood all with en-suite bathrooms and elevated on wooden decks. These classic-style tents have double doors and a small verandah for uninterrupted views and feature a open-air private shower to enable nature lovers to fully enjoy the environment.
Andersson's Camp's close proximity to Etosha is ideal for full-day self-drives into the national park to take in the plethora of game found here. Etosha National Park is Namibia's premier wildlife destination and at almost the size of Switzerland it is one of Africa's largest game parks. Large herds of plains game concentrate around the waterholes in the dry season, whilst the summer months' sporadic rainfall produces a profusion of new life - pronking baby springbok and comical young wildebeest herald the onset of summer. And at the end of a long day in the vehicle you can return to camp, relax in the lounge/bar area and enjoy more game viewing at the waterhole in front of the lodge.
This model of eco-sensitive lodging provides an authentic, safe and down-to-earth experience for small groups, families and independent travellers to Etosha and is easily accessible by road. Energy-saving initiatives include solar-heated water for showers, while throughout the camp most of the natural vegetation has been retained.
