Ameib Ranch
Day Trips to the Highlights of the Erongo Region
Not far from Hohenstein lies Ameib Ranch with its famous attractions, Bull’s Party and Phillips Cave.
The impressive scenery of Bull’s Party, a large granite slab plain where numerous granite boulders several meters in diameter are scattered haphazardly, sparks the imagination. San rock art can be discovered in the cave.

Ameib Ranch – Bull’s Party and Philipps Cave
For those who want to explore the region on their own, this tour is a great option. You can set your own pace and focus. Upon request, we are happy to prepare a packed lunch for you.
In the landscape around Ameib Ranch, Bull’s Party and Philipps Cave are two places that showcase the Erongo in a special way.
Bull’s Party looks like nature’s playground: massive granite spheres, seemingly stacked at random, as if balanced by an invisible hand.
Just a short distance away is Philipps Cave. Here, the region’s history comes to the forefront – rock paintings that bear witness to ancient cultures and are preserved in the rock to this day.
Millions of years of Earth’s history and thousands of years of human history in one place. A juxtaposition that inevitably puts one’s own perspective into relation.

Ondili Lodges, Regions, and Experiences
Each Ondili Lodge is inextricably linked to its surroundings—and that is exactly where the local experiences come from. What guests can do here isn't just based on a fixed program, but arises from the landscape itself.
Every region reveals different facets of Namibia: sometimes the focus is on the wildlife, sometimes on the vastness of the landscape or exploring on foot. The lodges embrace these unique features.
This creates an interplay of location, accommodation, and activity that makes each region uniquely experienceable – and invites you to discover Namibia from different perspectives.
