Dramatically set in the foothills of the Grootberg Massif, Etendeka Mountain Camp appeals to the traveler who is prepared to step outside of their comfort zone and experience this remote wilderness with its harsh beauty in an authentic way. Here, one is reminded that we are all guests of mother nature.
Pathways lead to ten private shaded en-suite meru tents with their stunning eco-friendly open-air “bucket” showers. It is simple comfort in a rugged and harsh landscape.
These arid plains set against the Etendeka basalt lava flows and flat top mountains are nothing short of splendid and, although seemingly inhospitable, are full of hidden life.
Etendeka does not push the game viewing experience on the conservancy, but rather an authentic engagement with nature and this remote wilderness. There are no fences or management of wildlife. Animals are free to move in and out of the area depending on the time of year, their movements driven by food and water.
Accommodation is in ten en-suite meru tents, which are connected by pathways to the main dining tent. The tents are spacious with twin beds. Two tents have double beds. All are freshly made up with luxury mattresses and 100% cotton linen. The comforts do not take away from the traditional tented camp atmosphere. A stunning eco-friendly open-air “bucket” shower with hot and cold water adds to the bush experience. The camp runs off solar energy and the tents and bathroom have solar lighting.
