Auas Game Lodge
Windhoek - Namibia
Auas Game Lodge was previously utilised as commercial farm land. When
the land was acquired by the current owner, he had a vision of converting
the land back to it’s pristine, original state, with the long term
goal of sustainable utilization of this natural resource, for the benefit
of all local and foreign visitors
When one takes a drive or a walk through the veld, and views the variety
of flora and fauna now existing on this land, one can appreciate that
his dream has largely become a reality.
· All sixteen rooms have their own en suite bathrooms, as well
as their own private verandah for reading, bird-watching or simply enjoying
a coffee.
· In the summer months, the rooms are quite a comfortable temperature,
and if one leaves the windows open, one can be assured of a lovely cool
breeze. In the winter months the weather becomes quite chilly –
please do make use of the extra blankets in your wardrobe.
· Our water is pumped from underground boreholes into our water
tanks, and as such it makes for quite good drinking water. If you suffer
from a sensitive stomach, please rather use the bottled water available
at the bar. Namibia is a very dry country, and as such water is a very
precious resource. Please assist us to conserve it, by using it sparingly.
· There are very few mosquitoes in this area. In the rainy season
there may be a few more, so please take the necessary precautions, by
using a good quality mosquito repellant, and covering your arms and legs
with light cotton clothing, especially at sunset. Do not be too concerned
if you do receive a few bites, as this is not a malaria area.
Features of Auas Game Lodge
· Please note ladies, there is a hairdryer in the draw
of the vanity.
· We do have a laundry service on offer… laundry lists and
bags can be found in your wardrobe!
· If you do have any allergies, or special dietary requirements,
please inform our front office personnel so that they may pass on this

a variety of venison on the menu for your enjoyment. We grow many of our
own herbs and vegetables on the farm also, and will try to incorporate
these into the menus wherever possible.
· Each room is equipped with a telephone, which is monitored by
our central switchboard at the front office.
· All drinks ordered from the bar will automatically be charged
to your room account. We try to stock an interesting selection of wines,

Card please.
