Ondili operates a collection of sustainably managed lodges across Namibia's most pristine landscapes. The company specializes in providing environmentally conscious accommodations that allow guests to experience the country's diverse ecosystems and wildlife while minimizing ecological impact.
The Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge, one of Ondili's signature properties, is thoughtfully designed to integrate with its natural surroundings. The main building, situated in a dry lake bed (vlei), houses comprehensive amenities including a restaurant, dual bars, lounge area, and pool with sun deck. A 120-meter boardwalk connects guests to individual suites that encircle the vlei, offering excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.
The suites feature an innovative architectural blend of canvas, stone, and thatched roofing, providing both luxury and authenticity. Each suite includes private shaded outdoor areas furnished with couches and loungers for wildlife observation and relaxation.
The lodge provides various activities for guests to explore the Kalahari's distinctive landscape, characterized by red dunes reaching heights of 30 meters. Visitors can experience the region's rich wildlife and natural beauty through guided hikes, game drives, and mountain biking excursions.
Beyond the Kalahari location, Ondili maintains properties throughout Namibia's key regions, including the Namib Desert, Erongo Mountains, Damaraland, and Etosha National Park. Each location offers unique experiences, from World Heritage sites to wildlife viewing, while maintaining the company's commitment to responsible tourism and environmental stewardship.
