Camp Details

5.0 / 51 rating

It is built in exactly the right spot to give guests probably one of the best sunset views in the whole of Namibia – overlooking the beautiful scarceness of the Etosha Pans, decorated only with its wild animals and hundreds of Camel Thorn trees.

Upon arriving at The Fort, you will be received by not only our friendly staff, but also massive raw walls, stunning stone cladded features and a huge tower with views toward Etosha and Fisher’s Pan.

The Fort consists of 11 mini Suites and 1 honeymoon Suite, all situated adjacent to the Main Fort extending on both sides to the south and the north. Every mini Suite is completely private and about 50 meters apart from one another and is equipped with a bar fridge, and an air cooling system for those warmer days. The spacious bathroom has both an inside shower as well as an outside shower area. From every area of the room, wooden decks lead you towards the outside seating area and sun loungers for just relaxing and enjoying the extraordinary view.

In addition, the one and only Sultan Suite is situated inside the Main Tower of the main complex. It has a large beautifully designed bedroom that leads into a lounge area and out onto a small private viewing deck. The lounge is equipped with a satellite television system, a bar fridge and telephone facilities. And for those warm evenings, you have an air cooling system as well. The large bathroom has a wonderful open shower area, as well as a bath in which to relax and reflect upon your day’s experiences.

What is the Sultan Suite?

It is the single suite set inside the main tower of the complex.

The large bathroom has an open shower area as well as a bath. There is also a honeymoon suite.

What does the architecture look like?

The Fort is built from massive raw walls and stone-clad features around a tower looking towards Etosha and Fisher's Pan, and the lodge calls it the only one of its kind in Namibia. A classical African feel is combined with Moroccan and Indian touches, including a collection of antique windows and doors. Rates start from NAD 15,070 per person per night.
