Nice friendly lodge.

One of the best places in all of Namibia Great staff and guided hiking Outstanding birding and scenery Terrific accommodations Will definitely recommend! Road is not bad at all when compared to rest of Namibia so don’t let that deter you

We were very excited about going to Huab and had read great things about the place. Our initial experience was good although the place looked rather tired and dated. We did enjoy the guided walk and safari although animals were few. However by rhe second night the poor customer care became very apparent. We complained about dogs eating bones in the area where we were waiting to eat. We were told they always did that. The communal eating was fine the first night as there were quite a few guests but as guest numbers diminished we felt like intruders on the staff dinner. The conversations were mainly conducted in German and there was little attempt by most staff to include us. We did in fact leave after two nights as we simply did not want to be there any longer. This place has great potential but it requires serious management and updating to be anywhere near the luxury accommodation described on the web sites.

Off the beaten track, 45 mins from the main road, this remote, peaceful, traditional lodge will make you feel at home thanks to a warm welcome, communal meals and the friendliest of services. Because it is remote, one night definitely is too short. Be sure to arrive before sunset (the road is narrow and a bit tricky in places, you have to open 4 gates to get the lodge too) and stay at minimum 2 nights to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, the lovely pool, hot natural springs and the warm hospitality. Note: breakfast and dinner generally included. But everything else is extra (drinks, lunch, activities etc).

Excellent hospitality

Huab Lodge felt more like a homestay than a hotel. All the guests shared a long table at dinner and we had a lot of fun talking long into the evenings and nights.

A remote location in a picturesque setting. Game is not the key driver here so don't expect to see Etosha like hers of animals. There's a chance to walk in the valley and learn about the flora with excellent and knowledgeable hosts. Birding good and the lodge has good reference material as well as Jan and Suzi's expertise. Game drives were a bit limited as terrain difficult - one will be enough. A lodge to unwind in, enjoy the surroundings and learn about animals / plant life you see elsewhere. Rooms spacious and spotless. Food good quality and meal times a social able event. Recommend a stop for 1/2 nights as part of tour around the country. Not likely to travel much when at lodge given it's 30 k or so from main road!
