Indulge in an inimitable mix of adventure and wellness at Namibia’s all-embracing Gmundner Lodge. Designed to be entirely self-sustaining, this luxurious camp-style retreat conjures visions of old-world safari splendor amid rugged savannah wilderness.
With Namibia’s savannah on the frontlines of global climate change, Gmundner Lodge is understandably proud of its achievements in sustainability. This commitment began in the concept stage, with construction of all aspects of the lodge using locally sourced, sustainable materials. In its day-to-day operations, Gmundner Lodge runs on solar power.
Equally impressive are Gmundner Lodge’s twelve stylish guest suites, each set away from the main lodge and nestled gently into the contouring landscape. Old-world style abounds in these elegant abodes with features like soft leather chairs, rich mahogany furniture, antiques and unique artifacts. Each features an outdoor terrace that’s perfect for wildlife viewing, while the adjoining outdoor shower and clawfoot tub is the ideal venue for night time stargazing.
Though it’s located deep in the Namibian savannah, Gmundner Lodge boasts wellness facilities that equal those of any big city hotel. For starters, guests can work up a sweat in a modern fitness facility with windows overlooking the savannah. Afterwards, retreat to Gmundner Spa and undertake a Makai wellness journey featuring old-world remedies and holistic practices that restore tired bodies and minds.
Guests seeking a world-class dining experience are expertly catered to at Gmundner Lodge thanks to the presence of an on-site farm. Sustainability is once more to the fore, with the farm supplying the lodge’s kitchen with farm-fresh produce, premium game, beef and dairy. Guests are also free to wander through the orchard of fruit trees to see the work up close.
There’s also plenty to see and do during a stay at Gmundner Lodge, with over 6,000 hectares of savannah, trails and mountains to explore. Wildlife is a major component of the experience here, with game drives, walking safaris and horse-riding taking guests up close with majestic local creatures. Experience an African sunset like never before on a Gmundner sundowner drive - you will be whisked away to a secluded viewpoint where an elegant sundowner experience awaits, complete with top-shelf drinks and chef-prepared gourmet snacks overlooking the great Namibian wilderness. You can also explore your creative side and join Gmundner for a ceramic & painting workshop, or, for the more adventurous, the e-motocross offers an adrenaline-filled journey across the reserve. There are also golf courses nearby, while the lodge also offers its own tennis court.
