Eagle Tented Lodge & Spa is a comfortable retreat located just outside the boundaries of Etosha National Park, within the private Epacha Game Reserve. With less game than the national park itself, this would be a relatively unremarkable location if it wasn't for the fact that Epacha is home to the rare and endangered black rhino.
Eagle Tented Lodge is a stylish retreat, built from natural rock and located high in the hills with fabulous views over the surrounding valleys. The lodge covers a large plot, with its sixteen guest tents spread widely over the area. The public areas are spacious and include two restaurants, a bar, lounge and swimming pool, all centred on an open courtyard. Eagle Tented Lodge also offers a fully-equipped spa, offering a variety of therapies, a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.
Eagle Tented Lodge's somewhat out of the way location is in many ways an asset. There's only one other property within the Epacha Game Reserve so you won't encounter large crowds. Nevertheless, it's important to remember that, black rhino sightings aside, the game-viewing here simply isn't as good as in the main National Park. Thankfully, the lodge is positioned close to the park gates, and so provides easy access to the game-rich Etosha Pan.
Accommodation
There are sixteen tented rooms at Eagle Tented Lodge (eight standard, eight deluxe). Built on raised wooden platforms to make the most of the views, the tents are spread far apart enough to not overlook each other. Both standard and luxury rooms are generously sized with large en-suite bathrooms equipped with bathtub and both indoor and outdoor showers. Amenities include ceiling fan, tea/coffee making facilities, safe and telephone. The deluxe tents are larger and have the additional luxury of an extended deck with outdoor bathtub.
Dining
Breakfast is a substantial buffet, with the usual selection of cereals, breads and pastries, and cooked dishes. Lunch and dinner are a la carte, with a variety of venues to choose from – the European dining lounge, terrace lounge, or in the open-air boma.
