Okahirongo Elephant Lodge : Rates, Reviews, Booking Information
Serenity, glamour, and seclusion amid the Kaokoland wilderness
Situated deep within Kaokoland, enveloped by vast wildness, the Okahirongo Elephant Lodge revels in its isolated, eco-friendly splendor. Recognized as “one of the remaining genuine wilderness areas,” your experience is guaranteed to be unparalleled.
The private reserve, striking in its landscape, harbors several specialized and well-developed plant and animal species awaiting discovery. During walking safaris and both day and night drives, observe the desert-adapted elephant, black rhino, desert lions, giraffe, the unique Hartmann’s mountain zebra, and additional wildlife. Explore the nomadic Himba pastoralists of Purros to uncover their traditional practices, or engage in birding, as numerous unique and near-endemic avian species are present.
The en-suite terracotta chalets and presidential suite overlook the Hoarusib River and include a large circular bathtub with a view, separate indoor and outdoor showers, private decks with daybeds, and are adorned in a rustic blend of earthy tones, rich colors, and North African aesthetics. The living area features an infinity swimming pool, open-air couches, a library, two dining rooms, and a traditional boma. Collectible artworks introduce a nuanced cadence, creating an ambiance reminiscent of a barefoot, fluid, cotton retreat.
