With their slim frame and slender tail you can watch these highly social animals from a short distance while exploring with a nature walk. Early mornings they warm their bellies in the sun, sometimes showing off their little ones.
A game drive can be enjoyed in the morning, which then includes a coffee stop, or in the late afternoon with a sundowner, both overlooking the endless Kalahari landscape. You will be able to view over 35 different species of game and more than 95 species of birds. Should you wish to learn more about cattle farming in Namibia, this can gladly be arranged as well.
A few walking trails give you the option to enjoy a nature walk, either on your own with a bird book and binoculars in hand, or with a guide accompanying you. There are also hides along the way that provide the ideal place for game and bird viewing.
At Otjimbondona, yoga becomes a deeply grounding experience set within the calm of the Kalahari. Surrounded by open landscapes, golden grasses, and acacia trees, guests are invited to move, stretch, and breathe in harmony with nature.
Guests may enjoy their own private yoga practice from the comfort of their villa or on the freestanding yoga deck set amidst the Kalahari sands. With the quiet of the desert and endless views across the landscape, it is the perfect place to begin the day with sunrise yoga or unwind in the soft light of sunset.
For those who prefer guided sessions, private yoga classes can also be arranged in advance. Throughout the year, Otjimbondona additionally hosts carefully curated yoga retreats, offering a deeper journey into wellness, movement, and relaxation in this unique natural setting.
Guests interested in joining a retreat can visit the Retreats section on our website to explore upcoming yoga experiences.
Nestled quietly within the Kalahari landscape, the Bush Spa at Otjimbondona offers a peaceful sanctuary where guests can slow down, unwind, and reconnect with themselves. Surrounded by the gentle sounds of nature and the warm stillness of the desert, it is the perfect place to indulge in a moment of pure relaxation.
Guests are invited to treat themselves to a variety of soothing treatments designed to restore balance and wellbeing. Enjoy a deeply relaxing full-body massage, ease tension with a calming head and neck treatment, or refresh tired feet after a day of exploring with a revitalising foot massage. For those looking for a touch of pampering, manicures and pedicures offer the perfect finishing touch.
Each treatment is designed to complement the tranquil rhythm of Otjimbondona, allowing body and mind to fully relax. Whether after a game drive, a walk through the Kalahari sands, or simply as a moment of self-care, the Bush Spa provides a quiet space to pause, breathe, and be cared for.
Let the calm of the Kalahari surround you while you enjoy a well-deserved moment of relaxation.

Situated on a neighbouring farm, the Arnhem Cave – at 4,5 km long –is the largest cave system in Namibia and the 5th largest in Southern Africa.

The cave is only a 15 minute drive from Otjimbondona, so a day visit can easily be arranged.
