The lodge consists of the main building and surrounds, The Manor House and four comfortable Villas.
Otjimbondona, meaning “the place where the small camel thorn trees grow” in the Herero language, was bought by the Slaney family in 1922 to farm with sheep and cattle. Wilfried and Anita, took over the farm in 2008 as the third generation of cattle and sheep farming Slaneys and are welcoming guests to their boutique lodge, Otjimbondona Kalahari.
Cradled amongst Camel thorn trees with vistas of undulating Kalahari landscape crusted in golden grass, Otjimbondona offers those seeking tranquillity, exclusivity, and luxury the ideal African retreat.
Otjimbondona is situated 120 km southeast of Windhoek, and 80 km from the Hosea Kutako International Airport, on a 3000-hectare Private Nature Reserve on the fringes of the Namibian Kalahari.
This hidden gem with its inviting Manor House and four comfortable Villas is the perfect place to start or end your Namibian adventure, or it provides a haven for those who simply wish to relax and unwind.
The main building consists of a large lounge and dining area surrounded by glass doors that open onto the outside deck to enjoy the magnificent views. The crystal clear infinity pool offers you the perfect spot to cool down on a warm summer’s day. In the adjacent kitchen, our Chef and her team lovingly prepare mouthwatering meals for our guests, using mainly locally-sourced organic farm produce.
A platform for meals under a blue sky, a fireplace to enjoy sundowners with Gin + Tonics and snacks around an open fire and the outside “boma” invites for grill evenings under the stars, all form part of the main area.
There are four carefully decorated Villas spaced far apart for absolute privacy. Each has its own lounge with fireplace for those cold winter nights, and a beautiful bedroom with an en suite bathroom.
The lounge includes a kitchenette with a Nespresso coffee machine, a kettle, and a fridge that is stocked with drinks according to the guest’s wishes. The Villas are surrounded by large glass doors to provide you with unrivaled views and close proximity to nature. Step outside onto a deck, ideal for sunbathing, and enjoy the plunge pool to cool down on a sultry Namibian summer’s day or a relaxing Jacuzzi massage. Even when you shower or soak in your bathtub, nature is right next to you.
Each villa has a “sala” with a lounger and hanging chair, perfect to unwind with a book, have an afternoon siesta or watch the rich wildlife around you. A romantic candlelight dinner can be enjoyed on your deck or on the sala.
Each Villa is beautifully decorated according to its own theme.
