Damaraland
Onduli Ridge is located on a private concession in the Doro !Nawas Conservancy in the heart of Damaraland, and a mere 20 minutes away from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Twyfelfontein. Onduli Ridge, named after the resident giraffe of the area, is built at the base of two south facing granite outcrops which are connected by a ridge. This location allows for magnificent views of Namibia’s highest mountain, the Brandberg, to the south and the dispersed cathedral-like granite inselbergs to the north.
The camp exudes character and meticulous attention to detail meeting all requirements, from large rooms to libraries, and plenty of places to laze.
Food to tantalize the palate after enjoying exceptional activities combines a genuinely unforgettable stay with exceptional quality while blending effortlessly into the natural surroundings.
During the day, explore the area on solar e-bikes, on foot or by vehicle. The area is home to general plains game and predators such as cheetah, leopard, lion, spotted and brown hyena. Probably the biggest single attraction of a stay here is the chance to track the rare desert dwelling elephants and free-roaming black rhino - indeed, Damaraland is one of the few places in Southern Africa where the magnificent wildlife of Africa can be found outside of National Parks or private game reserves, and co-exist with traditional villages and farms.
The 6 suites are hidden amongst the granite boulders that nestle the camp and the more temperate climate of central Damaraland allows for naturally ventilated suites, partial open-air bathrooms and largely open communal areas.
The camp is designed to maximise the views of this most extraordinary landscape and every space becomes a viewpoint whether from the bed, the desk or the bathroom. Louvered shutters can be opened completely, blurring the lines between the indoors and nature, or closed for complete privacy if required.
A kingsize bed cooled by its own 'climate conditioner' (Evening Breeze) is also the perfect place for afternoon siestas and the bed can be rolled out onto your private deck for a night under a billion stars as required.
