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.

"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."
