Omaanda Lodge at dusk, outside Windhoek in Namibia.

Omaanda

Start Planning

Leaving Africa is hard enough. And bland, copy-paste airport hotels do your psyche no favours. For us, soft landings – and even softer departures – complete the perfect safari experience. Enter our much-loved Omaanda. Just one elegant hop, skip and jump away from the airport. Float back down to earth with the help of an extensive spa menu. Start the big day ahead with an early morning encounter with meerkats. Squeeze in a last game drive (or dip your toe into your first) tracking everything from big cats to rhinos and elephants. And all well under an hour away from civilisation.

The Omaanda Experience

Only 30 minutes from Windhoek Airport, Omaanda cannot be considered remote, but it’s a great way to start or end your safari in Namibia. Located in the private Zannier Reserve on twenty-two thousand acres, activities focus on game drives that offer your first (or last) sighting of meerkats, elephants, rhinos, and even lion.

Stuff we love

Gateway to Namibia

  • Running your hand over the sandpapery walls of the striking Owambo-style “huts”. (If those are huts, we’ll eat our Panama hats.)
  • Mixing and mingling in the boma, swapping stories with newcomers and passing on all the top tips you’ve learned along the way.
  • Putting the finishing touch on that safari glow with a “miracle” facial fit for royalty.
