About
About this getaway
Ohorongo Game Lodge sits on the Ohorongo Private Game Reserve in northern Namibia — 35,000 hectares stewarded by one family for over fifty years and home to a fragile remaining black rhino population plus more than forty protected species. The property offers both an intimate tented camp and a refined safari lodge where comfort meets open-bush freedom.
Signature experiences include black rhino tracking, guided nature walks and drives, stargazing under some of the world's darkest skies, wilderness feasts in the bush, and sleep-outs under the stars for tented camp guests. Tents run on solar power with lighting and device charging. Meals use local ingredients; camp stays include all meals while lodge stays include breakfast and dinner.
Located on the C35 between Khorixas and Kamanjab, Ohorongo pairs easily with Etosha National Park, Twyfelfontein rock engravings, and Waterberg Plateau itineraries. For North American slow-travel and safari planners seeking owner-run Namibia conservation hospitality, Ohorongo delivers rhino country, family legacy, and low-light-pollution nights.
Ohorongo is built on a Namibian proverb: the earth is not ours — it is a treasure we hold in trust for future generations. For more than five decades one family has cared for this land, and today guests help fund protection of one of Africa's rarest black rhino populations across a dazzling 35,000-hectare reserve.
