Southern-gate days
Toshari is the saved route base. Etosha Safari Lodge and Oberland are southern-side alternatives. Add the gate drive and return to each wildlife day rather than counting the whole day as park time.
Where to stay for Etosha
Compare southern-gate lodges with the eastern Mokuti base. These four stays are outside the park; Otjiwa and Frans Indongo belong to the longer approach journey.

Eastern-gate days
Mokuti is by the Von Lindequist side of the park. Choose it for an eastern focus or a deliberately planned change of base, not as an interchangeable southern-gate room.
Inside the park is a separate choice
The curated four are outside Etosha. If an inside-park overnight matters, check NWR’s actual accommodation and reservations; no room inventory is implied here. [3]

Curated stays are planning choices, subject to availability. Use current road and site guidance for access; pins are not a driving route.
Questions before you go
Are these stays inside Etosha?
No. They are gate-area choices outside the national park. Confirm access and current gate hours for each day. [3]
Why are Otjiwa and Frans Indongo elsewhere?
They are near Otjiwarongo and fit the approach journey, not a night at an Etosha entrance.
