Lodge is Closed!
Vogelstrausskluft Country Lodge overlooks on ancient dry riverbed
with spectacular sunsets in this arid and interesting part of Southern
Namibia alongside the upper part of the Fish River Canyon.
The lodge is built on the rise of a small hill, overlooking an ancient
river course which forms a grassy valley below.
The design and layout of the lodge means you can enjoy spectacular
sunsets each evening whilst relaxing on the deck with a refreshing
drink in hand. Something a little different from other lodges in
Namibia, and a nice feature are the huge rattan lights hanging from
the thatched ceiling.

When you arrive at Vogelstrausskluft Lodge and enter the main building,
the first thing that strikes you is the dark wood, leather and beautiful
stone tiles.
The main building houses the reception, reading room with a small library
and a large lounge set out with plush leather sofas and wicker armchairs.
There is also an atmospheric bar with a frame made out of large tree logs
and a natural wood bar top. In the main building there is also a restaurant,
lounge, curio shop, patio and swimming pool is centrally situated and
the thatch and stone finishing blends the infrastructure into the environs.
A large mahogany deck extends out from the main building and offers great
views of the valley and small waterhole below.
Wrought iron tables and chairs with shady umbrellas are dotted across
the deck and a small infinity pool stands at one end. We thought it was
a shame that there are were no sun loungers to sit on in between swims
but the views from the pool more than made up for it.
Accommodation
The accommodation at Vogelstrausskluft Lodge is divided into 4 stand-alone
luxury suites and 20 standard rooms grouped in 5 thatched buildings surrounding
the main area.
The air-conditioned rooms are spacious and uncluttered. Each standard
room has twin beds and a sitting area with leather sofas and an ottoman.
The suites are a bit larger and fitted with one single and one double
bed. Just as in the main building, dark wood and leather dominates the
décor – the feel is reminiscent of a gentleman's club or
smoking room. Sliding doors open out onto a small private patio with directors
chairs from which you can enjoy views of the valley below.
The rooms are all en suite and the bathrooms include a shower and separate
corner bath. Laundry is available at an extra charge.
