Lodge overview

Shift your perspective of what luxury means, as you settle into the spectacular surroundings of Ongava Lodge.

Luxury is the sense of the infinite that greets you as you gaze into the wild beyond. Luxury is the thrill of a close encounter with rare and endangered wildlife, from the sanctuary of a game-viewing hide.

Luxury is the space that surrounds you in the air-conditioned suite of your rock chalet. Luxury is a new way of making the most of life in the wild, here at Ongava Lodge.

In harmony with nature

Spanning a rocky ridge in a range of dolomite hills known as the Ondundozonanandana — the word, recalling a local legend, means “the mountain where the boy took the calves” — Ongava Lodge features 14 spacious en-suite chalets crafted from rock and thatch, in keeping with their natural surroundings.

The central dining area is fronted by two viewing decks, overlooking a waterhole frequented by rhino and other game. At Ongava Lodge, the vantage is your advantage, opening your eyes anew to the beauty of the African bush.
