The complex is modelled on traditional Ovambo homesteads: palisades of tall pointed stakes embrace the lodge and convey a feeling of the warmth and security of home right in the middle of the African bush.
Inside the complex a palisade separates the restaurant and swimming pool area from the guest chalets and thereby provides more privacy. A variety of beautiful building materials like natural stone, wood and reed were used for the houses.
Items of daily use in Ovambo – earthen pots, voluminous storage baskets
or original wooden figures serve as decoration to emphasise the African
theme, and lend a very special charm to the lodge.
The luxurious character of the lodge is complemented by the interior decoration and colour scheme of the double rooms, Family units and generously proportioned chalets.
All the rooms have their own bathroom, air-conditioner, fridge, hairdryer,
telephone, TV and an electric kettle for tea and coffee.
Come and enjoy excellent cuisine or just have a sundowner at our lapa overlooking the peaceful and majestic landscape of thorn bush savanna contrasting vividly with the red sandstone of the area. You can have a refreshing dip into the swimming pool, and when the sun starts to set just before dinner you can retreat to the large wooden veranda at the bar or the little observation tower.
Our gourmet kitchen whips up a variety of venison dishes served with farm-fresh
vegetables and salads seasoned with aromatic ingredients from our herb garden.
An air-conditioned auditorium is available for company functions (max. 60
people) and family events (max. 40 people). The lodge is tastefully decorated
with fabulous attention to detail.
Frans Indongo Lodge exudes the sense of life of northern Namibia’s people in a most charming way. The lush green garden is shaded by tall trees and sports an artificial brook. It attracts the Shaft-tailed Whydah, the strikingly coloured Crimson-breasted Shrike, the Pied Barbet and many other feathered friends.
A road trip across Namibia is an experience you will cherish forever, the freedom to stop wherever you want and explore Namibia on your own terms, for that you will need to hire the right car.
