The Grootberg Lodge is a popular lodge in northern Damaraland and is 100% owned by the conservancy of the #Khoadi//Hoas community. It is spectacularly situated on the edge of the Etendeka Plateau with sweeping views over the Klip River Valley near Palmwag. The lodge was established with the support of the European Union and the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism. As Namibia’s first mid-range lodge owned by a conservancy, it promotes sustainable tourism, creates jobs, and supports education and conservation projects for the local community.
