Frans Indongo Lodge exudes the sense for life of northern Namibia’s people in a most charming way.

Inside the complex a palisade separates the restaurant and swimming pool area from the guest chalets and thereby provides more privacy.

Items of daily use in Ovambo – earthen pots, voluminous storage baskets or original wooden figures – serve as decoration to emphasise the African theme, and lend a very special charm to the lodge.
