Huab Lodge began as an idea to generate funds to save the desert-dwelling elephant from being harassed and shot. Since 1992 awareness has increased, as has tourism and the "value" of the elephant is changing.

The original farmland is a small, unique area called Monte Carlo which boasts stunning views bisected by the mostly dry Huab River. The unique main building at Huab Lodge is an enormous thatch roof with open sides so you feel as though you are outside but well in the shade, despite its size it blends well into its surroundings. The irregular thatch roof mirrors a mountain on the opposite bank.

The eight stone and thatch bungalows at Huab Lodge are spread along the elevated north bank of the river ensuring a private and magnificent view. Meals are enjoyed with the hosts at the family table, where in the Lodge's friendly atmosphere guests can make friends, exchange opinions and learn more about the country.
