Location and Region

Sophienhof Lodge lies 10 km outside Outjo, a small town in the Kunene Region often used as a fuel and supply stop by travellers heading to the southern gates of Etosha National Park. The surrounding area is characterised by mixed cattle and game farmland typical of central-northern Namibia. Guests arriving by self-drive should confirm the final stretch of farm road with the lodge, as some approach roads in this region are ungraded gravel rather than tar.

Getting There

Outjo sits at the junction of the C38 and C39 roads, making it a convenient staging point for guests travelling onward to Etosha’s Andersson Gate or west toward Khorixas and Damaraland. Sophienhof Lodge’s location just outside town allows for a quieter farm setting while keeping fuel stations, shops and basic services in Outjo within easy reach. As with many farm lodges in this area, guests should plan to arrive before dark, since the final approach road is unlit.

Travellers combining this stop with a wider circuit may also want to look at nearby options in the Outjo and Khorixas areas, or consult our regional guides when planning fuel and overnight stops between Etosha and Damaraland.

Confirm current road conditions and check-in arrangements directly with the lodge before setting out, particularly after seasonal rains.
