Frans Indongo Lodge - camping and lodge type accommodation in Namibia.
Is your heart yearning to step away from the city hustle and bustle? Visit Frans Indongo Lodge and step into the calmness and silence of the Namibian Savanna, surrounded by scents of grass and acacias.
The Frans Indongo Lodge Terrace is the ideal setting for a leisurely ending to an eventful day, allowing you to enjoy a chilled drink while soaking up the reflection of spectacular hues of red over the sandstone rocks of the Waterberg Plateau on the side of the thorn bush savanna.
Situated approximately 43 km from Otjiwarongo, Namibia, Frans Indongo Lodge is the ideal stop when travelling between Windhoek and Etosha National Park or the Caprivi. A relaxing restaurant is available on the Frans Indongo Lodge premises, allowing you to start your day with a scrumptious breakfast, enjoy a slice of cake for teatime, or indulge in truly Namibian cuisine in the evenings. All of the meals are prepared fresh and from scratch, using locally sourced produce, ensuring that you experience the wonders of Namibian food.
After a long day in the Savanna Bush veld, you can bathe in the sun whilst relaxing on the Sundeck at the Swimming Pool, watching a succession of Sable Antelope, Black Springbok and Nyala quench their thirst at the nearby watering hole. During the day, you can explore the various activities available at the Frans Indongo Lodge.
The lodge and rooms were built from materials like natural stone, wood, and reed that were used for building houses in the Ovambo tribes. Items of daily use in the Ovambo tribe (e.g., earthen pots, voluminous storage baskets, and original wooden figures) serve as decoration to emphasise the African theme, lending a very special charm to the lodge.
We have 3 different types of accommodation available, namely: double rooms, 2-bedroom family units, single rooms, and a camping site. All of the rooms at Frans Indongo Lodge are equipped with their own bathroom, air conditioning/heating, fridge, mosquito net, hairdryer and an electric kettle for tea and coffee. This campsite accommodates up to 10 people and offers shared ablution facilities with 3 showers and toilets for both males and females. It includes a braai grid, firewood, water supply, central washing area, hot water via a donkey, solar lighting, and a 12V USB mobile phone charging station.
