With over 50 years under the stewardship of one family, we are now the custodians of the fragile remaining population of black rhino. They join a further 40 species, in a habitat teeming with flora and fauna, extending over a dazzling 35,000 hectares.
So we take a considered approach to every sustainable safari Namibia and expedition we host, respecting the wildlife and traveling on foot where possible. Food is locally sourced, often grown in our own garden.
Ohorongo is a non profit: every contribution is re-invested into lasting biodiversity and uplifting the local community.
From the start Ohorongo has aligned with the Sustainable Development Goal 15 and is wholly devoted to “protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss”.
Ohorongo is a sanctuary for wildlife, proudly harboring more than a dozen endangered and vulnerable species. We actively retain rainwater to augment the groundwater level.
Our hospitality operations are powered by renewable energy, our food is home-grown and organic, harvested directly from our on-site gardens.
Ohorongo supports the Sustainable Development Goals.
We at Ohorongo are proud to support the Conservation Travel Foundation’s “Pack for Conservation” programme because it aligns perfectly with our mission to protect, restore and nurture Africa’s wildlife. We bolster efforts to safeguard the desert-adapted black rhino and other vulnerable species — and by doing so we help ensure our remaining wilderness stands strong for future generations.
The Ohorongo Game Reserve is nestled away in a secret corner of the remote Namibian highlands. 300 km north of Windhoek, it’s a treasure trove of diverse landscapes. One moment, you might be traversing the vast savannah and before you know it, our guides will lead you down a breathtaking gorge, where you’ll discover ancient Bushman caves and carvings, or a refreshing natural spring.
Beyond the horizons, the air carries the scent of wild sage and sun-warmed earth. Here, the silence is profound, broken only by the distant call of a hornbill or the crunch of ancient gravel underfoot. Each geological layer tells a story of deep time, inviting a slower, more intentional exploration.
Our expert guides act as interpreters of this wilderness, revealing the hidden tracks of the elusive leopard or the intricate survival strategies of desert flora. Across these 35,000 hectares, every sighting is a lesson in ecology. This immersive approach transforms a simple walk into a meaningful connection with the land, ensuring that every guest leaves with a deeper understanding of biodiversity.
The mountainous, granite outcrops are just waiting to be scaled, affording you amazing views of the plains – and wildlife – far below. You’ll be left speechless by the contrasts of the Namibian Bushveld landscape and the sheer diversity of fauna and flora. It is a snapshot of nature that time has forgotten.
Your visit to our sustainable safari Namibia enables us to continue to protect and conserve this unique slice of nature as part of our sustainable conservation legacy. Let us show you around.
