Introducing Ohorongo

At Ohorongo, you’ll experience Namibian nature and hospitality at their finest.

As one of the best safari lodges in Namibia, we have spent over 50 years under the stewardship of one family. We are now the proud custodians of a fragile remaining population of black rhino, which join a further 40 protected species across a dazzling 35,000 hectares.

Your stay at our namibia luxury lodges enables us to continue protecting this unique slice of nature. Let us show you around.

The earth is not ours, it is a treasure we hold in trust for the future generations.

Wir waren im August zum 2. Mal mit unseren Söhnen auf Ohorongo. Im April 2024 waren wir im Tented Camp und nun in der Safari Lodge. Beide Unterkünfte sind traumhaft schön. Thorsten, Silke und das Personal lassen keine Wünsche offen. Alle sind sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Es ist ein wunderschöner Ort zum entspannen und genießen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.

Der Weg hin und zurück ist ein kleines Abenteuer. Wenn man höflich fragt darf man ggf. das West Tor nehmen. Die Fahrt für die 30km dauert zwar länger( fast 2h),als die 25km (ca 1h) zum Ost Tor, ist aber wie eine eigene mini Safari. Es ist vermutlich die beste Unterkunft in ganz Namibia. Ich bin dem Team und den Betreiber sehr dankbar für die wunderbare Zeit die wir dort verbringen durften

Una riserva enorme e tranquilla. Animali in vista dal ristorante. Servizio impeccabile con una cucina a livello internazionale. Consiglio vivamente i tour nella riserva con l’ottima guida della struttura.

Like a dream come true We had a fantastic stay! We were the only ones in the lodge at the time and were incredibly spoiled. Delicious food, a cup of tea with fresh cake every afternoon, a wood fire in the evening with a view of the watering hole with animals and stargazing at night. We felt incredibly welcome in this paradise and want to thank the staff for that. Special thanks to Daniel, Selma and Elisabeth. Highly recommended!

Dieser idyllische Ort verbindet alles: inmitten der Tierwelt, wo Giraffen, Oryx, Paviane und Co entspannt vom Pool aus zu beobachten sind. Die fünf Villen, die in einer Oase verteilt sind und zum Entspannen einladen. Aber vor allem die Herzlichkeit der Menschen vor Ort. Daniel erzählte unserer Tochter geduldig alles über Flora und Fauna. Anita, der Ruhepol, die alles managt. Selma, eine beeindruckende junge Studentin. Elisabeths Küche ist suuuuper lecker. Charlotte. Danke für eine unvergessliche Zeit.

Nous avons adoré l’endroit magnifique, l’accueil chaleureux, le guide Titus et ses safaris en voiture ou à pied, la nourriture délicieuse. Une impression unique d’être seul au monde au milieu des animaux, une expérience inoubliable.

Wir durften Anfang Mai zwei Nächte diese wunderschöne Lodge genießen. Wir haben uns so unfassbar wohl gefühlt, was wir in erster Line Anita, Elisabeth und Daniel zu verdanken haben. Vom Service über das Essen bis hin zu den Game Drives war der Aufenthalt einfach perfekt. Auch das Rhino Tracking mit den Rangern Simon und Frederick war ein unfassbar tolles Erlebnis. Wir waren so nah dran und haben uns dank den beiden absolut sicher gefühlt. Wer eine wunderschöne Lodge, perfekten Service und die absolute Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit genießen möchte, ist hier definitiv richtig.

☺Nous avons tout aimé. On s’est senti comme à la maison dés les premiers instants. Il faut dire que l’équipe avait prévu un gâteau pour mon anniversaire. Le lodge est magnifique, le dîner sous les étoiles est magique et les game drives sont fantastiques. Notre guide, Daniel, était très intéressant. Merci à toute l’équipe et à Elisabeth la cuisinière pour ses repas savoureux.

"Our stay at Ohorongo Game and Safari Lodge was an amazing experience. Everything was correct: the lodge, the game drives and the nice conversations during our stay.

The lodge is beautiful and overlooks a waterhole where all kinds of animals regularly come to drink. The enormous number of birds and the team's extensive knowledge of the different bird species were also very impressive.

What really made the stay special was the wonderful staff. Everyone is always ready to serve you and does so with genuine attention and enthusiasm. The overall picture was fantastic, and we look back on this experience with great pleasure."
