Okahirongo Namibia

Okahirongo Elephant Lodge is located in the Purros Conservancy, 55 km from the Skeleton Coast of Namibia. Often described as one of the last true wilderness areas, the Kaokoveld is home to the nomadic Himba tribe as well as uniquely desert adapted Elephant, lion, black rhino and giraffe. Terracotta buildings are cleverly positioned to make the most of the grand views over the rugged Purros valley – blessed with its lush green river bed and purple mountains in the distance.

Okahirongo River Camp is an eco-friendly lodge built on a sweeping ridge and opening up to breathtaking views of the Kunene River. Tucked far into the north-western reaches of Namibia, the Marienfluss region is a remote wilderness area where the rough roads and lack of facilities keep travellers at bay. Cleverly built into the rocky terrain, the four luxurious double tents, one twin tent and one family suite are constructed with wood and canvas and each have a magnificent view of their own.

Dining in the Desert at Okahirongo

Culture started at the dining table, when people began to cook food and wait for each other. At Okahirongo, we believe it is impossible to live well without eating well. That’s why our menu is an ode to healthy yet tasty, classy food.

Spontaneous grocery store trips are something most of us rely on. Just a quick drive down the road, run in, grab what you need and run out. However, when it’s a two-day round trip to the nearest decent shopping centre, a little more forward-planning is involved. Situated in the remote area of Kaokoland in the North West of Namibia, Okahirongo Elephant Lodge has their work cut out for them when it comes to finding and transporting ingredients. However, despite these challenges, chefs at the lodge never fail to amaze guests with the spectacular culinary creations.

Fusing local traditional flavours with modernist twists, it’s bush-dining at its best. Dinner is served by candlelight in one of the two dining rooms, or around a fire, under starry Namibian skies. Fresh bread and muffins are baked at the lodge daily and most of the fresh produce comes straight from the lodges organic garden.
