Ondjamba Hills is nestled within some of the most iconic landscapes in Damaraland, 40km northwest of Uis next to the Ugab River. We offer an eclectic fusion of nature, rustic old-world safari charm with modern chic, creating harmony with the dramatic environment and nature.
Ondjamba Hills offers 20 randomly placed large Meru-style safari tents (10m x 5m) with en-suite bathrooms and outside veranda with seating arrangements that offers spectacular views over the Brandberg Mountain.
The camp is fully off-grid, having its own boreholes for water and being powered by solar energy with a back-up generator. Although the camp is powered by solar, water is heated using old-school, traditional “donkies” (geysers heated by fire) adding the sense of uniqueness of the great outdoors and the smell of woodsmoke.
Everything at Ondjamba is about the romance and experience of travel in Africa. Untouched wilderness at your doorstep, with views on the majestic Brandberg (Namibia’s highest Mountain) and the ephemeral Ugab River Valley and the granite “koppies” dotted in the landscape. Even the restaurant lights were placed with the starry Namibian skies in mind.
The common areas are built from brick, wooden poles, thatch, and canvas – all circular structures to fit in aesthetically with the granite boulders in the area. Its architecture lets the structures blend into the surrounding boulders dotted around the area with some even being part of the infrastructure.
The highlight however remains the pristine landscape the camp is located in.
Ondjamba Hills offers half-board and bed and breakfast tented accommodation and is located near the banks of a dried river in the Torra Conservancy in Damaraland, Namibia. The lodge is ideal as a comfortable base from which to explore this part of the Kunene Region. Each tented stand offers a comfortable glamping experience and is furnished with twin beds. Each tent has an en-suite bathroom, a seating area, and a private deck with outdoor furniture overlooking the stunning surroundings. Guests can take day trips to visit the Palmwag Day Visitors Area, Skeleton Coast National Park (permit needed), or Torra Bay.
Damaraland was a name given to the north-central part of South West Africa, which later became Namibia, inhabited by the Damaras. It was bordered roughly by Ovamboland in the north, the Namib Desert in the west, the Kalahari Desert in the east, and the Windhoek region in the south. Named after the red torra rocks predominant in the area, Torra is one of the founding four conservancies formed in 1998. The conservancy landscape is a mix of hills, plains and wooded river valleys, including the scenic Huab River. Wildlife includes elephant, lion, leopard, black rhino, cheetah, ostrich, kudu, duiker, warthog, steenbok, gemsbok, springbok, giraffe, mountain zebra, klipspringer, spotted hyaena.
