Frans Indongo Lodge

Frans Indongo Lodge is located north-east of Otjiwarongo and north-west of Waterberg Mountain. It is thus ideally suited as a stop-over on your way from Windhoek to Etosha, the far north, to Bushmanland or the Caprivi. The Lodge is close to the tar road but nevertheless in the midst of the African bush savannah.

The 170 km² farm boasts an extraordinary abundance of game, including white and black rhino, black wildebeest and hartebeest. Frans Indongo Lodge exudes the sense for life of northern Namibia’s people in a most charming way. The complex is modelled on traditional Ovambo homestead.

Location

Central Highlands of Namibia. Situated north-east of Otjiwarongo, only 43 km from the town and easily accessible without four-wheel drive on the B 1 tar road.

Highlights

  • Watch Cheetah sprinting and learn more about the fastest terrestrial animal on the planet at the nearby Cheetah Conservation Fund.

Namibia Review

First of all the people! They are so proud of their country and regaled us with its history and told us all about its enormous quantities of natural resources. We learned so much and would love to return and see more of it. The landscape of the country is unlike anything I've ever seen before -- so...
