Local tip
Plan your arrival in time for a late-afternoon sundowner drive. Watching giraffes, oryx and other wildlife as the sun sets over the bush is a wonderful way to end a day on the road. Remember to book the drive in advance, and allow time to visit the Hoba Meteorite near Grootfontein during your stay.

Surrounded by the peaceful bushveld of northern Namibia, Fiume Lodge & Game Farm offers a welcoming combination of comfortable accommodation, wildlife encounters and relaxed Namibian hospitality. Located on a privately owned 1,400-hectare game farm, approximately 35 km north of Grootfontein and just 3 km off the B8 highway, Fiume Lodge is an ideal stopover for travellers heading towards Rundu, the Zambezi Region, Botswana and Victoria Falls. Whether you are travelling on a self-drive safari, exploring Namibia's northern regions or looking for a peaceful break between destinations, Fiume Lodge offers a comfortable place to rest, enjoy nature and experience the beauty of the African bush.

Comfortable Accommodation Surrounded by Nature
Fiume Lodge offers nine stylish chalets set within a beautiful garden with a spacious lawn. The accommodation combines practical modern comforts with warm wooden furnishings and a relaxed atmosphere, providing a welcome retreat after a long day on the road. Each chalet features air conditioning, twin beds, a private en-suite bathroom, built-in cupboards for valuables and tea and coffee-making facilities. Two of the chalets are larger and can be arranged as family accommodation, making the lodge suitable for couples, families and small groups travelling together. For guests who prefer a closer connection with nature, camping options are also available. Travellers can enquire about the available campsite facilities and accommodation arrangements when booking.

Wildlife Encounters on a Private Game Farm
One of the highlights of Fiume Lodge is its location on a 1,400-hectare private game farm supporting a variety of wildlife. Animals found on the property include giraffe, eland, oryx, zebra, kudu, hartebeest, impala, springbok, blesbok and Damara dik-dik, alongside ostriches, smaller mammals and a variety of bird species. Guests can arrange guided game drives to explore the property and observe wildlife in its natural surroundings. Sundowner drives are particularly memorable, combining an afternoon exploration of the bush with refreshments, drinks and snacks while the Namibian sun sets across the landscape.
Game drives and sundowner experiences require advance booking, so guests are encouraged to arrange activities before arrival.

Relax beside the Pool and Enjoy the Garden
After a day of travelling or wildlife viewing, guests can unwind in the lodge's peaceful garden or cool off in the swimming pool. The surrounding bush and open spaces create a relaxing atmosphere, while the waterhole provides opportunities to observe the comings and goings of local wildlife. The lodge is well suited to travellers who appreciate a slower pace, friendly service and the opportunity to enjoy Namibia's natural environment without sacrificing everyday comforts.

Restaurant, Bar and Fresh Local Cuisine
Fiume Lodge offers an on-site restaurant serving meals prepared with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, alongside a bar where guests can relax with a refreshing drink. Having dining facilities on the property makes the lodge particularly convenient for self-drive travellers who would rather enjoy dinner and unwind than continue driving to find a restaurant.
