Frequently Asked Questions

Can I easily combine a golf trip to Oshikoto Region with a safari adventure?

Absolutely, and we highly recommend it. Oshikoto Region is practically on the doorstep of Etosha National Park, making it incredibly convenient to pair a round of golf with world-class wildlife viewing. You'll find many lodges cater to both interests, offering game drives alongside easy access to the course.

What's the best time of year to visit Oshikoto Region for both golf and wildlife viewing?

We've found the dry season, from May to October, is ideal. The weather is cooler and drier for golf, and wildlife congregates around waterholes in Etosha, making sightings more predictable. Just be prepared for firm fairways and a true desert golf experience.

What's the actual golf experience like in Oshikoto Region, given there's only one course?

The golf experience here is uniquely Namibian - think wide-open spaces and a genuine sense of adventure. The course itself is well-maintained for its remote location, offering a challenging desert layout that demands accuracy. It's not about luxury, but about enjoying the game in an unforgettable setting.

What are the practicalities for getting to Oshikoto Region and where should I stay?

Most travelers fly into Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek) and then drive north, which is a scenic journey taking several hours. We suggest staying at one of the lodges or guesthouses near Tsumeb or within easy reach of Etosha's southern gates. Many offer comfortable amenities and can arrange your golf tee times.

Are there other unique local experiences or cultural insights to discover in Oshikoto Region besides golf and safari?

Beyond the greens and game drives, Oshikoto offers a glimpse into local Namibian life. We recommend visiting the Tsumeb Museum to learn about the region's mining history, or exploring local markets for authentic crafts. It's a chance to connect with the community and appreciate the area's rich heritage.
