Ongula Village Homestead Lodge

Very interesting to learn all about the culture, see the women working in traditional ways, and try out the millet processing. I also enjoyed the traditional food and the singing and dancing. I didn’t like that we were not told the cost of the tour, and the European food was not very good.

Ongula Village is about 45 minutes drive, mostly on tar from Ondangwa. We did not quite realise that before we arrived. However, we really enjoyed the experience. Unfortunately, our stay was too short, to actually participate in the activities, but the staff very very friendly and accommodating, the traditional dinner tasty and well presented. The rooms were very comfortable, we may have preferred better lighting for reading, but that applies to most accommodation these days. It is a perfect place for anyone wanting a cultural experience, as authentic as possible.

Séjour atypique, nous sommes arrivés avec beaucoup de difficulté, manque de marquages sur la route, panne d'eau nous avons donc eu une bonbonne d'eau pour les sanitaires et la toilette, c'est très rustique, l'accueil est très chaleureux et la gérante est très active et pétillante. Rester cependant un peu sur vos réserves, sa bonne humeur excessive peut fatiguer au bout de quelques heures.

De vijf hutten zijn modern en afrikaans-stijlvol vormgegeven en gestyled. De hutten liggen echter ruim 20 km van de doorgaande weg; zijn slecht bewegwijzerd en de toegangsweg is een zandpad met flinke kuilen en soms een diepe plas. Moeilijk te vinden.
