Horse riding offers a magically unique way to experience the surrounding nature of the reserve. At Gmunder, the comfort of the animals remains of paramount importance. Our saddles have been designed to ensure that guests and the horses experience a comfortable ride. These handstitched Western saddles have been meticulously designed and are softer and broader than conventional saddles. This is a proper bucket-list activity for all visitors.G
E-biking is an easy alternative to a hike and allows guests to enjoy the landscape at a leisurely pace. Our e-bikes are designed in Namibia and made for the African terrain. The bikes are battery-powered and propelled forward by a motor.
Inclines, long distances and warm weather do not present themselves as obstacles during this activity. The cleverly named SunCycle is powered by the sun and comes equipped with a solar-charged battery, thus making it an eco-friendly activity that is not harmful to the environment.
Game drives are offered at sunrise or sunset, making the most of the magical hues of the African sun. Warm cups of coffee characterise morning drives while the evenings present sundowner beverages with a view.
Experience the stars of the African sky. With a breathtaking view of the Milky way, a clear night at Gmundner offers an experience that cannot be replicated on any other continent.
During the summer months, guests can look forward to views of the prominent Sagittarius and Scorpius constellations. Towards the end of the season, the Leo constellation with its bright heart star Regulus is also visible.
During the winter months, Orion dominates. This constellation is named after the prominent hunter in Greek mythology. Its brightest stars are the blue-white Rigel and the red Betelgeuse. Astronomy aside, stargazing is an activity to be enjoyed by all.
First used in the Middle Ages for hunting and as a strategic weapon of war, the art of the longbow shooting was perfected by both English and Welsh archers. Test your aiming skills and enjoy a taste of old-world Europe while in Africa.
Also known as Clay Target Shooting, this activity involves the shooting of targets under the supervision of our professional staff. Definitely something to consider during your stay!
Our court is ideal for an hour or two of sociable exercise. Enjoy a friendly (or competitive!) match with family, or other guests visiting the lodge.
The tennis court is named after Ion Țiriac, also known as the “Brașov Bulldozer”, who is a Romanian businessman and former professional tennis and ice hockey player.
Although Gmundner does not have its own golf course, arrangements can be made for transport to and from any course in the area.
Guests are further encouraged to utilise the well-equipped Gmundner Gym and sauna. As an added extra, Yoga is offered on specific days of the week (you can obtain the schedule at the reception desk).
At Gmundner Lodge, family and heritage are highly valued. Please inquire at reception for information on tailormade activities for children.
Fully immerse yourself in relaxation by booking a treatment at the Gmunder spa. Therapist Mariane Akwenye, Namibia’s first black female pilot, is a true pioneer in african wellness.
Mariane specialises in ancient holistic therapies (incorporating modern practices into each treatment to ensure a unique experience for each guest).

Welcome to the heart of sustainable living in Namibia: the Gmundner Farm! Our eco-conscious haven is a celebration of organic living, boasting our own bakery, greenhouses, butchery, and cattle breeding. Join us on this journey towards a greener, more sustainable future as we nurture the land and cultivate a harmonious way of life.
Gmundner Lodge Restaurant
At Gmunden Lodge, guests experience an unparalleled fine dining experience. Chef Etienne Coertzen emphasizes creative, seasonal cuisine and regional produce. Coertzen and his team receive daily deliveries of fresh, high-quality organic products from the farm: fruits, vegetables, eggs, dairy, beef, game meat, honey, and more. These ingredients are skillfully crafted into creative dishes such as Baked Meringue with citrus fruits on yogurt clouds or a Butternut Squash Velouté with browned butter, pine nuts, and sage, served with homemade puff pastry bread.
Upon request, lodge guests can enjoy a unique "fine dining experience": lunch or dinner in the wilderness. The Gmunden team sets up tables at stunning hidden spots or transports guests for a sundowner on the highest mountain in the area, where the Lodge's team arranges a fully-equipped bar and snacks. All of this is served on the beautiful dinnerware from the Gmunden Ceramics' African Collection.
The cornerstone of the Gmunden vision "Back to Nature" is the Gmunden Farm, an innovative farm concept centered on sustainable agriculture principles. Following the ethos of "From Producer to Consumer," only what is necessary is taken from the land, with seasonal ingredients harvested on-site. This approach actively reduces environmental impact and minimizes waste through land and farm management.
The goal of this concept is to secure the long-term ecological balance and sustainability of the location. Apart from supplying the Lodge's kitchen, the farm also provides for team members and their families living in the community. Farm operations require many helping hands, thereby creating jobs and investing in staff development.
Discovering the Farm
Lodge guests are invited to visit the farm. They can take a stroll past horses waiting for a ride across the vast plains, wander through orchards, vegetable, and herb gardens, and encounter other animals like pigs, cattle, and chickens freely roaming in spacious enclosures and expansive pastures.
