SPOTLIGHT ON: VINGERKLIP LODGE
If it is peace, solitude and sweeping arid vistas you’re after, look no further than the Vingerklip Lodge in Namibia’s Kunene Region (formerly called Kaokoland).
Here, in a primordial valley known as the Ugab terraces, you will find the luxurious Vingerklip Lodge. The lodge is situated in a private reserve on the farm Bertram, midway between Etosha National Park and Swakopmund. Massive granite boulders dominate the landscape, with the 35m tall Vingerklip bearing stark testimony to geological events of 15 million years ago.
The lodge has been built with traditional African materials such as wood, stone and thatch. There is restaurant/bar, coffee bar, whirlpool bath, pool table, and a small curio shop. Gourmet cuisine complemented by fine wines and locally brewed beer are served at indoor or outdoor dining areas. There is a deck to enjoy a sundowner before moving on to the open fireplace later. Relax and unwind on a sun-lounger by the plunge pool under a shady umbrella.
Power is supplied from a generator throughout the day. During silent hours batteries offer a limited amount of energy for lights or other electronics.
Accommodation at Vingerklip Lodge is in well-appointed, thatched bungalows, spread out along a hillside.
There is plenty of game and bird species in the area. Attractions include the Petrified Forest, where antediluvian flood, deposited giant tree trunks and Twyfelfontein, with it's renowned San art engravings. Nature drives, guided walks, sundowner trips and day trips to an authentic Himba village, can also be arranged.
