Guided Walk in the Erongo
Experience Nature
Unlike hiking on your own, guided hikes offer the opportunity to venture off the marked trails to get a better look at animals or plants. The guides have a trained eye for nature.
Guided hikes are tailored in pace and length to individual needs and can be booked at any time.
Guided Hike in the Erongo
Caves with rock paintings bear witness to the early settlement of the Erongo by the San, the Bushmen. There are several areas here designated as “national monuments” with interesting rock drawings. Etemba with its Hein Cave, as well as Ameib with Philipp’s Cave and Bull’s Party—a plain strewn with granite boulders—are among these sights. A cave with drawings was also recently discovered on Hohenstein. In addition to the cave drawings, particularly beautiful granite formations make these areas rewarding excursion destinations, all of which are offered by Hohenstein Lodge.
The Spitzkoppe, a 700-meter-high granite formation, is also located near Hohenstein Lodge and is an absolutely worthwhile destination because of the beautiful and bizarre rocky landscape and prehistoric drawings. For hikers, the alpine-like landscape of the Erongo Massif, which reaches up to 2,300 m, is a true paradise.
Guided hikes can be booked at the reception at any time.

Ondili Lodges in Namibia’s Most Beautiful Regions
Ondili Lodges are located in Namibia’s most popular tourist destinations. The World Heritage site in the Namib Desert with the highest dunes in the world, the wild Erongo Mountains, the Kalahari, and Damaraland with its desert elephants are all part of a trip to Namibia. The capital Windhoek and the coastal town of Swakopmund with its colonial charm are not to be missed, and of course, the famous Etosha National Park with its abundance of wildlife is a Namibia must. Ondili Lodges are perfectly positioned near the sights. In some regions, the lodges are located in their own nature reserves, allowing for an intense experience of the typical landscape.
