Sophienhof Lodge

With very grateful and happy memories of our stay at Sophienhof, we would like to share our experience with the lodge and its wonderful crew. My girlfriend took me on a very adventurous and romantic round trip through Namibia and Botswana—a lifelong dream of hers. I couldn’t imagine a better moment to ask her to marry me. So I emailed Sophienhof. To make it personal and special, I asked Sophienhof to arrange a very romantic picnic with a sunset view in a place where it could be just the two of us. They offered us a private, small game drive on their impressive property, with a lovely, humorous, and friendly guide. He took us to the most amazing and peaceful place we could imagine. Then they left us with a beautifully decorated picnic table, delicious food, and champagne. There was only one thing left for me to do—and luckily she said YES :) Together we look back on a very special moment in our lives, shared with a lovely crew and a beautiful lodge, resulting in wonderful memories. THAT is what Sophienhof is capable of. My fiancée and I want to thank everyone involved! We recommend everyone to stay at Sophienhof someday.

We stayed in Sophienhof 3 times in October 2025 camping on the first occasion (on our way to Etosha National Park) and in a motel styled room twice (before and after Twfelfontien). On each occason we were greeted by warm and friendly staff and felt very much at home. We must thank in particular reception manager Willem who organised for my wife to see a wonderful doctor in Outjo (and checked on us several times throughout the afternoon and the next morning), after she had a fall near to Twyfelfontein and badly injured her finger. We highly recommend this lovely homestead just 10kms outside Outjo.

Decent campsite on the lawn under trees with very clean bathrooms. Dinner available but overpriced. Small pool for the kids. Game drives available. Wildlife at times crosses through the campground as well. Small hike to the hilltop available. Vibes were a bit weird but I can't really rate it less for that.

We had a wonderful stay at Sophienhof Lodge. So peaceful, great food and very friendly staff. A special thank you to Willem, he recommended and made an appointment with Dr Burger at Outjo, when I was a bit under the weather. Thank you, Willem, you walked the extra mile for us. Highly recommended place to stay!

My wife and I rented a 4x4 from Bertie, the owner, and we just wanted to write a review on here to say he is one of the friendliest and nicest guys we've met in Namibia! Just such a lovely person and we had a great experience in Etosha all thanks to him. So, thank you very very much! Andy and Alissa

As hard as I try, I can't fault this place. I really enjoyed my stay. The food was delicious! Thank you Cecilia! The service in general was just an absolute pleasure. The game drive is an absolute must!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sophienhof. We saw many different animals at the game drive and at the various waterholes, it was a big adventure for the children as well. The staff and owners are very hospitable and so friendly and the cuisine at the restaurant was outstanding and made with the freshest home grown ingredients. We will for sure come visit again. Thank you for an excellent experience.

Excellent atmopshere from start to finish. We camped on the lawn and had an amazing experience with wild roaming, while we were braaiing. Clean and stunning facilities all around. Thank you Willem for welcoming us and being such a great & friendly host. Already planning our next visit to Sophienhof!
