Ondudu Safari Lodge Announcement
It is with great pleasure that we introduce you to the newly named Ondudu Safari Lodge, replacing the old Erongo Wild.
The name Ondudu is derived from the Oshiwambo word meaning “Mountains”. The lodge is nestled amongst giant granite mounds close to the Erongo Mountains. It is a birders paradise and a playground of giants.
The launch of Ondudu Safari Lodge signifies new beginnings in many ways. Ronelle Greeff, the owner of the property, sadly lost her husband, Hendri, to Covid in 2021. Ondudu Safari Lodge is the realisation of a dream that Ronelle and Hendri shared.
The lodge is undergoing a major revamp which will catapult it to one of the most sought-after destinations in the Erongo region.
We look forward to welcoming you to Ondudu Safari Lodge to experience the rebirth and new beginnings of this magical place.
For any booking inquiries please email res7@journeysnamibia.com or alternatively contact Journeys Namibia, the Managing Operator, on phone number 061 228 104. Please visit our website at www.journeysnamibia.com.
