Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
- Outside of the Etosha park we only booked top rated (9+ on booking.com) lodges/guesthouses but Vingerklip was one of our most preferred ones and it was a wonderful place to relax for two days/nights
- Even the water was cold (as in all other places also) the kids loved the pool area
- We liked the trails
- The lodge has a beautiful atmosphere
- The manager was very friendly and gave us very helpful suggestions for Etosha
- The kids loved the ciabatta bread and even got the recipe :-)
Stunning location, the staff was super friendly, the lodge is very well designed with a lot of privacy and lot of different corners to relax. Nice hikings.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the lodge, which stands out as one of the best we've experienced in Namibia. The lodge itself is beautifully constructed, set amidst a farm with animals. The owner was exceptionally kind, offering suggestions and taking time to chat with us before and after dinner. He even generously offered us a 10-minute drive around the farm the next morning, knowing of my interest in seeing an oryx up close. With around 10 rooms, the lodge can’t get crowded with tourists, and offers moments of peace and quiet.
This place still lingers in my mind. It’s so beautiful and the setting is so striking. The food was incredible, filet of kudu was outstanding, and dinner on the top of the rock (Eagles Nest) was such a breathtaking setting. The two pools, friendly staff and comfortable rooms were fantastic. The walks round the property, to Vingerklip rock and a trip zip lining at the nearest neighbouring lodge made this stay for our family. I loved it!
Vingerklip Lodge is a unique place set in beautiful countryside. The food was good and the staff were very helpful. There are lots of places to relax on privacy and 2 pools. There are also a couple of local hikes that we used for running.
Just an amazing stay. We were friendly taken care of by mngr. Asser and his staff all the way. We stayed the night at their "Heavens Gate" bungalow - all by it self on top of the mountain. A short walk up the hill from the lodge, but sure worth it. Great dinner at the Eagles Nest. Amazing landscape all around. Incredible sunset. Everything worked out fine. We will be back.
One of the best lodges I stayed at on my tour through Namibia. Friendly helpful staff. The receptionist is a character! Kudos to the chef for a very well prepared eland steak. Enjoyed the walk to Vingerklip. Got to meet the managerial staff who were very welcoming and entertaining!
