Fodor's Expert Review Toshari Lodge

This pleasant and affordable lodge about 25 km (15½ miles) south of Etosha's Anderson Gate makes a great base for exploring the park. If you're fed up with self-driving, then let an experienced guide take you on the lodge's 7½-hour drive in an open game vehicle with a great picnic included (30 people maximum; six people max per vehicle). Cheerful well-appointed double rooms are set among green lawns and old mopane and seringa trees. The restaurant serves excellent house-cooked food and specializes in fine South African wines. Kids under six stay free with their parents.
