Love To Explore Rating: Premium
Set in Damaraland, Ohorongo is surrounded by 40,000 hectares of pristine wilderness. Within the reserve there are two unique places to stay; the Tented Camp and Safari Lodge. Ohorongo Safari Lodge was originally built as the reserve’s homestead, the lodge features five en-suite bungalows that blend traditional Namibian aesthetics with modern comforts. Ohorongo Tented Camp, meanwhile, features five luxurious tented suites, each with a private terrace and ensuite bathroom.
Strategically located between Etosha National Park and the Skeleton Coast, Ohorongo is an ideal stopover for travellers exploring Namibia's northern attractions, whether arriving by self-drive or via the lodge's airstrip.
The lush desert garden is the perfect place to relax, drawing an array of birdlife, while the pool provides somewhere for a refreshing dip. Dining at Ohorongo focuses on fresh, farm-to-table cuisine, inspired by local flavours.
Ohorongo provides a range of activities across the surrounding wilderness. Guided nature walks and game drives allow guests to explore the reserve's diverse flora and fauna. Guests can also accompany rangers on black rhino tracking excursions. Evening night drives offer potential sightings of African wildcats, genets, jackals, and owls, and Namibia's minimal light pollution makes for incredible stargazing.
At Love To Explore we would recommend the lodge for these unique selling points:
- Conservation ocussed
- Family owned & operated
- Boutique lodge & tented camp
FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
