ETOSHA KING NEHALE ACCOMMODATION

Exciting developments are afoot. Gondwana Collection Namibia is opening a new lodge 1km north of the King Nehale Gate on the northern border of Etosha National Park. Etosha King Nehale will host 40 rooms, which will pay homage to the rich cultural heritage of the area. The lodge is situated in the King Nehale Conservancy.

The area is characterised by vast and spectacular landscapes including the Andoni Plains, artesian springs and woodlands. To the north, the conservancy is surrounded by the pulsating life of the communal areas of the Oshikoto, Oshana, Ohangwena and Omusati Regions. Guests have the opportunity to combine the cultural vibrancy of so-called Owamboland with the natural wonders of the rarely frequented northern part of the Etosha National Park.

Etosha King Nehale opens on 1 May 2020.

Earlier opening date for Etosha King Nehale
We are happy to announce that the construction of Etosha King Nehale is progressing faster than expected. This brand new Gondwana lodge is situated on the Andoni plains just 48 km north of Namutoni and one kilometre from Etosha’s northern-most King Nehale gate.

Etosha King Nehale is now set to open its doors on 1 May 2020.

Each of the 40 spacious chalets, fit for a king, will have its own plunge pool and views over the plains, offering our guests the exceptional feeling of endless space and limitless horizons.

The crowning jewel is our concession for an exclusive waterhole in the Etosha National Park, which is not frequented by other travellers.

Etosha King Nehale is an easy stop after an exciting day of game-viewing in Etosha, and invites our guests to linger longer and explore Owamboland, a world of colour and culture unlike anywhere else in the country.

The lodge is also a much-needed stop on a journey to Namibia’s northern reaches, providing easy access to the Gondwana lodges in the Kavango and Zambezi regions, and to Palmwag Lodge & Camp and Omarunga Epupa-Falls Camp in the Kunene Region.

News from Namibian ‘Prophetess’ Justina

Amid a growing public outcry about self-proclaimed prophets, some of whom are allegedly ripping off or abusing their followers, the Onankali-based prophetess Justina Haihambo is at it again, claiming to have received a “divine oracle” to warn the Namibian nation about a coming natural catastrophe.
She is predicting that a comet will hit Namibia in two years’ time, causing mysterious diseases and a major catastrophe. Haihambo has been predicting a comet impact for many years but the fact that it never came to pass does not seem to worry her numerous followers. The calamity was initially predicted to happen in the late 1990s and the early 2000s but nothing happened. In an undated one-page epistle currently being distributed in the northern regions, Haihambo has shifted the date of the falling comet to “after two years”.
She says the resultant catastrophe will cause many deaths and general anarchy.
Haihambo started her vocation as prophetess in the early 1970s. Although many people no longer take her predictions seriously, she still enjoys a significant following and has convinced many of her followers to settle at her Onankali compound in the anticipation of the predicted catastrophe. “She is the messenger of God for our times,” said one loyal follower who claimed that the prophetess had even predicted the dry spell currently affecting many parts of the Oshikoto Region. Her followers travel from all corners of the country for a night-long prayer retreat that is held at ‘The House of God’ - as Haihambo’s compound is known - on the last day of every month. A retired Lutheran pastor, Reverend Petrus Uugulu, provides pastoral care to the pilgrims.
This function was previously performed by the late Reverend Titus Ngula, who for many years was the de facto spokesman and spiritual director for Haihambo. Throughout the years some disillusioned followers have left and spoken out against Haihambo but they were soon labelled apostates and shunned by their former friends.
