Omaanda is a luxurious retreat in Namibia that is set within a 9,000-hectare private reserve near Windhoek. The lodge is inspired by Owambo architecture, featuring 10 thatched huts designed with natural clay and traditional techniques. The accommodations include eight individual huts and two family units, all offering private terraces, sumptuous bedding, free-standing tubs and panoramic views of the savannah.
Guests can relax beside the infinity pool overlooking a waterhole or at the spa which offers treatments inspired by local traditions. Ambo Delights serves fine-dining cuisine centred around locally sourced, seasonal ingredients while offering a culinary experience that celebrates Namibian flavours.
The lodge offers safari experiences within the Zannier Reserve, which is home to diverse wildlife, thanks to a number of conservation projects based on the reserve. Conservation drives are led by expert guides in customized vehicles, with the chance to encounter rehabilitated rhinos as well as elephants and big cats.
Omaanda offers not just luxury but also a commitment to sustainability and cultural respect, making it an ideal destination for travellers seeking both adventure and relaxation.
