Car
If you are traveling by car within Etosha National Park, head towards the Anderson Gate. Once you enter the park, follow the C38 road towards the north. Continue on the C38 for about 60 kilometers. After passing the Namutoni Camp, keep an eye out for signs indicating the direction to Ombika. Turn onto the D3005 road, which will lead you directly to the Eldorado Lodge, located just off the main road. Make sure to have a map or GPS device handy, as the lodge is situated in a remote area.
Public Transportation
For those relying on public transportation, take a bus or shuttle service to the nearest major town near Etosha, such as Tsumeb. From Tsumeb, you will need to hire a taxi or a private shuttle service to reach Eldorado Lodge. The driver will need to be familiar with the area as public transport options are limited.
