About Onduli Ridge

Ensconsed by dramatic, sunbaked desert, Onduli Ridge is a cool and collected new addition to the Damaraland scene. Practically sculpted into the granite boulders, the camp is seamless in design and fits right in with its surroundings. Every space maximises the views and by night, it's the tapestry of stars that steals the show. Spend your days relaxing by the pool, enjoying some of Namibia's finest food and exploring this sandy playground - which just happens to include Namibia's highest mountain, the Brandberg. Sounds pretty good to us.

What you'll love

Onduli Ridge helps various projects with the conservation of rhino and the desert dwelling Angolan giraffe populations.

Insiders tip

If you fancy tracking the world's last population of free-roaming black rhino on foot, you'll need to plan ahead and book four nights or more.

Something to think about

Like many lodges in Namibia's desert, Onduli Ridge is quite secluded so if you're up for more of an atmosphere, you may want to keep looking.

The property

With true attention to each and every detail, this newly-minted lodge has it all. There's a library and spacious lounge, as well as a dining room and bar, where you'll find stellar cuisine including crafted pizzas. And don't forget that cosy campfire or the pool with a view to write home about either. Indoors, warm tones and a mixture of wood and stone create a simple yet stunning space that's filled with natural light and an endless selection of places to soak up the desertscape (and trust us, you'll never tire of it).

The rooms

Onduli Ridge has six en-suite rooms, each naturally ventilated with partial open-air bathrooms - what more could you ask for in the desert? Each room also has handy shutters that can be opened for a stunning view and cooling breeze, or kept closed to enjoy the privacy at this secluded site. Your king size bed can also be rolled onto a private deck for a night spent under the stars - an ultra dreamy way to get a little shut-eye.

Activities

Game Drives
Bush Walks

Namibia is filled with scenic spots but it's Damaraland that really shines. Rugged and mysterious, enjoying a game drive, nature walk or E-bike ride is definitely a winning idea. With the likes of desert-adapted elephants, giraffe, leopard and lion, there's also plenty to see in the animal kingdom and landmarks like the Brandberg and Doros Crater top the list of worthwhile sights. Nearby Twyfelfontein is home to an incredible rock art 'gallery' and the petrified forest makes for some pretty epic photos.
