The north-central part of Namibia is known as Damaraland and is so named after the Damara-people who have been inhabiting this dry but breathtakingly beautiful region since ancient times. Bordered by Ovamboland to the north, the Namib in the west and the Kalahari in the east, Damaraland offers numerous spectacular attractions which should not be missed by any tourist travelling through Namibia.
Located 14 km west of Omaruru, the Ondudu Safari Lodge offers a unique experience, particularly enjoyed by bird lovers and those loving to hike in nature. Surrounded by the rugged granite hills of the lower Erongo Mountains, the lodge is part of the 2,000 square kilometres Erongo Mountain Nature Conservancy, where 30 private landowners work together to conserve this diverse Eden.
