The room was very clean, and eco friendly and the food was delicious. The only weak spot was the guiding - we went for a game drive and the guide was not knowledgeable and not interested in hearing what the guests wanted to see. ##### Janey Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Coert Sep 6, 2025 ##### Coert Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### E Sep 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tolle Lodge am westlichen Teil des Etosha Parks.

Expérience Tree House inoubliable! Nous y sommes restés une nuit, initialement prévu en lodge, nous avons finalement choisi d'opter pour la "Tree house" (cabane dans un arbre au milieu de la réserve mais tout en sécurité), une expérience inoubliable que nous recommandons! C'est une cabane de luxe avec un grande terrasse perchée à 5 mètres de hauteur où l'on dîne en amoureux face à un plan d'eau où viennent boire les animaux. Cet établissement possède une immense réserve où il y a notamment des lions et lionnes, qui sont leurs animaux phares. Le lieu est vraiment très beau car même sur l'immense terrasse de l'établissement (petit-déjeuner et dîner) on a une belle et grande vue sur des plans d'eau et un paysage de savane. Merveilleux. Mention spéciale pour le personnel et sa manager qui ont été incroyablement efficaces et compétents, et tout particulièrement attentionnés avec nous. Nous avons vraiment préférés "Hobatere Lodge" à sa petite soeur "Grootberg Lodge" qui se trouve dans les montagnes, où nous y avons également dormi. Le confort à Habatere est meilleur. Nous espérons y revenir dans le futur. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/05F3ABB1A4718ABCE0A242E4F03213D1DAD642131715863374051.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7AD7CAD46A67A2D21A45C75D3276C28316622F361715863374084.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81F412D979F1114F388F2719C5FBFA9A73296DDB1715863374523.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/05F3ABB1A4718ABCE0A242E4F03213D1DAD642131715874990277.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Samuel Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Samuel May 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Merveilleux!

We saw plenty of wildlife & the overall quality of rooms, food, facilities was 10/10. I wish i could have stayed longer. I bit of advice would be to leave to gift shop open rather than me have to ask to browse, its likely a british thing haha but people may be more likely to purchase :) ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Catherine Dec 21, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Plastic is detrimental to the environment..
