Verified Amazing nature, Incredible people
Staying at Ohorongo Safari Lodges was our best choice in Namibia.Our family trip concerned 12 people from the grandparents ( 80 year old ) to a young a baby ( 1 year old ) and several kids. Ohorongo was able to satisfy and delight us all.Imagine waking up to the wild life : a quick, hot shower and a wake me up breakfast before heading out to watch the rising sun awaken this iconic reserve into a gold and purple kaleidoscope. Watching the rays of the sun pierce through the morning sight : this is another beautiful day on safari and, in more ways than one :1) The lodgeThe luxury suites combine an authentic bush experience with all the contemporary amenities and are nothing but comfortable. The eco friendly lodge runs on green energy, and we will have all we need and more ( hairdryers, etcβ¦). the epic view from the fireplace and the terrasse allows to watch giraffes, zebras, oryxs, springboks coming to drink in front of you .We were amazed by the quality of the cuisine/cooking. Really exceptional compared to other luxury lodges. And it matters to French people π2) Epic wildlife encountersThe Ohorongo property is huge ( more than 40000 hectares ), and we feld to be totally alone in the Nature which is uncomparable to other safari places. The children and the adults were able to enjoy spectacular wildlife : zebras, giraffes, elands, kudus, roans, sables, oryxs, baboons, squirrels, wild cats, red rock rabbit, hare, fox, black backed jackals, mongooses, black wildebeests, blue wildebeests, springboks, damara dik diks, steenbcks, bustards,etcβ¦We saw tracks of the rhinos and the leopards too. Each day of the week we saw new species.3) Incredible peopleOhorongo is a celebration of the best of Namibiaβs people β warm hospitality, agility, resilience and tenacity. Thorsten, his guides and his team are incredibly passionate custodians of the natural world. Each and every person of the staff has a beautiful story.The site also has secrets from the past : prehistorical carvings from the bush men, stone wells from the 19th century European pioneers, and more. Several wonderful spots to see the sunsets, but be careful there on the rhino territories π
