The Camp
Onduli Ridge
Onduli Ridge takes its name from the giraffe that live in the area. The camp is built at the foot of two south-facing granite outcrops joined by a ridge, in the Doro Nawas Conservancy of central Damaraland, with the Brandberg to the south and granite inselbergs to the north.
Its six suites are tucked among the boulders. The milder climate here allows naturally ventilated rooms, part open-air bathrooms and open communal areas, and louvred shutters fold right back so the bed, the desk and the bathroom all become viewpoints. Each bed has its own Evening Breeze climate conditioner and can be rolled out onto the private deck for a night under the stars.
Days are spent on drives along the Huab and Aba Huab valleys looking for desert-adapted elephant, at the rock engravings of Twyfelfontein, on guided walks and on e-bikes. There is a pool, a bar and a restaurant, and spa treatments at extra cost.
