The Essence of Namibia

Galton House is Windhoek’s newest accommodation establishment. Named after the famous explorer Sir Francis Galton, it has a relaxed but efficient style which creates a very welcoming atmosphere. Impressive wildlife photography adorns the walls whilst the rest of the interior is a combination of modern minimalistic and understated chic.

A mere ten minute drive from the center of town and perched on the edge of Windhoek’s northernmost affluent suburb of Eros, guests staying here will be ensured of peace and tranquillity. There is Wi-Fi throughout the property and the eight guest rooms all have wired internet connectivity and satellite television. There is a coffee/tea station available in the reception area and these can also be provided in the rooms on request.

The communal areas consist of a large lounge, indoor and outdoor dining areas, a swimming pool, an early arrival/late departure day room (including toilet, shower, changing and re-packing facility) as well as understated garden areas. There is also a delightful ‘al fresco’ dining area by the pool where freshly prepared and very tasty meals are served (including lunch and dinner). A number of shops, restaurants and supermarkets are within easy striking distance.

Featuring a quintessential bush experience, the Okonjima Bush Camp, home of the AfriCat Foundation, offers a blend of safari elegance and modern comforts. The property’s spacious chalets open out onto the barren grass and acacia savannah. Each split level room has a day bed, bar, tea & coffee facilities. The exclusive chalets offer complete privacy under a unique thatched roof. You may want to sleep with the blinds open, making the most of the tranquil stillness of an African night. In front of each chalet, a birdbath is visited by a variety of birds and small mammals. The lodge also boasts a curio shop, cozy lounge, rustic indoor fire place, scenic outdoor fire place, kitchen and dining area, all of which overlooks the local waterhole and wildlife activity.

The recently established Onguma Tented Camp consists of seven luxury permanent tents, each overlooking the beautiful waterhole. The main complex also overlooks the waterhole and includes reception area, lounge, wine cellar, bar & dining area. The bird life in this area is outstanding with over 300 species having been recorded. The farm is also home to the largest breeding colony of white-backed vulture in Namibia. Optional activities include early morning and late afternoon game drives within the Onguma Concession as well as inside Etosha National Park, and also night drives on the concession area.

Ongava Lodge is situated on the 35,000 hectare Ongava Private Game Reserve. It shares a common border with one of Africa’s largest game parks, Etosha National Park, Namibia’s premier game viewing destination. A perfect destination in its’ own right, it is also an ideal place from which to base your activities when visiting Etosha. The lodge is set close to the top of a hill with wonderful views across the plains. Take advantage of the magnificent views over the two waterholes and across the wide plains below.

Outdoor dining under the stars whilst watching wildlife drinking at the waterhole is something never to be forgotten. A buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, can be served in the restaurant under thatch, or in the split-level lounge or dining room. Both have an outstanding view of the waterhole. There is also a swimming pool and a large curio shop, stocking a good selection of African gifts and branded safari clothing.
