The Guesthouse as Your Base
Set in the heart of nature, our guesthouse is the ideal starting point for your safari adventures and exploration tours through the Namibian wilderness.
At OKAVANDU, you are not just a guest – you are part of our family. Far from the everyday, nestled in the breathtaking landscape of Namibia, two unique accommodations await you: the Farmhouse and the Lakehouse. Here, a holiday becomes a shared experience – for couples, families and anyone who wants to feel the real Namibia.
Children roam the farm, parents enjoy the silence of the savannah, and in the evening everyone gathers around the fire beneath the starlit sky. What makes OKAVANDU special: every stay supports the OKAVANDU Foundation and its projects for education, community and conservation in the region.
Set in the heart of nature, our guesthouse is the ideal starting point for your safari adventures and exploration tours through the Namibian wilderness.
Right on our grounds, we operate a farm that you can visit and experience. It supplies our kitchen with fresh produce and serves as a training facility.
Your stay directly funds our projects that promote education, empower women and open new opportunities for the local community.
The direct connection between guesthouse, farm and social projects under one roof creates a transparent and profound impact that you won't find anywhere else.
