Frans Indongo Lodge is situated near the Waterberg Plateau Park and 44km from Otjiwarongo. It is the ideal stopover for the weary traveler enroute from Etosha to Windhoek.

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.
Frans Indongo Lodge exudes the sense for life of northern Namibia’s people in a most charming way.

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 emphasis the African theme, and lend a very special charm to the lodge.

Frans Indongo Lodge Accommodation

The luxurious character of the lodge is complemented by the interior decoration and colour scheme of the 2 double rooms, 2 Family units and 8 generously proportioned chalets.
All the rooms have their own bathroom, air-conditioner, fridge, hairdryer, telephone, TV and an electric kettle for tea and coffee.

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.
