Nestled within some of the most iconic landscapes in Damaraland, Namibia, Ondjamba Hills offers  an eclectic fusion of nature, rustic old-world safari charm with modern chic, creating harmony with the dramatic environment and nature.
Large Meru-style safari tents embellished with brick en-suite bathrooms with large glass sliding doors for unimpeded views. The camp is fully off-grid, having its own boreholes for water and being powered by solar energy with a back-up generator. Although the camp is powered by solar, water is heated using old-school, traditional “donkies” (geysers heated by fire) adding the sense of uniqueness of the great outdoors and the smell of woodsmoke.

Everything at Ondjamba is about the romance and experience of travel in Africa. Untouched wilderness at your doorstep, with views on the majestic Brandberg (Namibia’s highest Mountain) and the ephemeral Ugab riverbed and the granite “kopjes” dotted in the landscape. The common areas are built using bricks, wooden poles, thatch and canvas – all circular structures to fit in aesthetically with the granite boulders in the area. Its architecture lets the structures blend into the surrounding boulders dotted around the area with some even being part of the infrastructure. The highlight however remains the pristine landscape the camp is located in.

Location & Environment
Portraying some of the most iconic scenery of Namibia. Placed halfway between the Etosha National Park and the Skeleton Coast, the camp is situated on a hill off the Ugab River- the location is simply surreal.
It literally looks directly down onto the Ugab riverbed. “Real Damaraland” with granite boulders and winding ephemeral riverbeds. The landscape consists of rugged granite hills, largely semi-desert, and sparse savannah.
