Location and Access

Callies Game Lodge Safaris is situated in Tsumeb, in north-central Namibia, making it a practical base for travellers moving between Windhoek, Grootfontein and the Etosha National Park gates. Tsumeb’s position along the main routes north means guests can easily continue their journey towards Etosha or further afield. Guests should confirm exact directions with the lodge directly when booking.

Best Suited For

With a year-round outdoor pool, garden, children’s playground and on-site restaurant, Callies Game Lodge Safaris suits families and groups looking for a resort-style stay with plenty of on-site amenities, rather than a simple overnight stop. The patios, air conditioning and well-equipped rooms also make it a comfortable option for couples wanting to relax between activities. Guests seeking a very small, intimate property may prefer a smaller guesthouse elsewhere in Tsumeb.

Practical Considerations

Buffet and continental breakfast options are available, along with cycling opportunities in the vicinity of the lodge. As with most accommodation in this area, it is worth confirming breakfast timing and any dietary requirements directly with the lodge in advance. Shopping and dining options are more concentrated in central Tsumeb than in the surrounding rural areas.

Travellers using Tsumeb as a base before or after visiting Etosha National Park should plan fuel and supplies in advance, since options directly at the park’s gates are limited. General information on Etosha’s rest camps, gate hours and advance bookings is available directly from Namibia Wildlife Resorts, which manages the park’s official rest camps.

Namibia’s dry season, from roughly May to October, tends to bring cooler nights and clearer daytime driving conditions, while the wet season from November to April can bring afternoon showers and occasional changes to gravel road surfaces. Guests travelling between Tsumeb and Etosha, or continuing on towards Grootfontein or Otavi, may find it useful to check seasonal road conditions before setting out.

Before confirming a reservation, guests may wish to ask the lodge directly about check-in and check-out times, whether secure overnight parking is available for self-drive vehicles, and whether the swimming pool and terrace are accessible year-round. Since Callies Game Lodge Safaris combines both indoor comfort and outdoor garden space, it can suit guests who want to relax for a night or two rather than just passing through.
