About Frans Indongo Lodge
Frans Indongo Lodge invites travelers to the heart of the African savannah, offering breathtaking vistas, the scent of acacias, and the comforts of modern luxury. Guests can unwind on the sundeck by the pool, where sable antelope, black springbok, and nyala visit the nearby waterhole. The lodge's design and décor reflect the Ovambo culture of northern Namibia, adding an authentic African touch to every stay.
Nearby attractions include the Cheetah Conservation Fund, where guests can witness the speed of the world’s fastest land animal, and Waterberg Plateau Park, rich in natural beauty. The lodge's expansive 170 km² farm is home to diverse wildlife, including white and black rhino, black wildebeest, and hartebeest. Guided sundowner drives and bush trails offer unforgettable game-viewing experiences, leading to a stunning lookout point.
Conveniently located between Windhoek and Etosha, Frans Indongo Lodge is the perfect stopover for travelers exploring Namibia. It provides a tranquil retreat amidst the bush savannah, yet remains easily accessible.
A tip for guests: plan to linger. Many wish they had more time to soak in the lodge's serene beauty and unique experiences.

Lapa with Restaurant and bar
Frans Indongo Lodge exudes the sense for life of northern Namibia’s people in a most charming way. The complex is modelled on traditional Ovambo homesteads: palisades of tall pointed stakes embrace the lodge and convey a feeling of the warmth and security of home right in the middle of the African bush. Inside the complex a palisade separates the restaurant and swimming pool area from the guest chalets and thereby provides more privacy. A variety of beautiful building materials like natural stone, wood and reed were used for the houses. 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.
The luxurious character of the lodge is complemented by the interior decoration and colour scheme of the 2 economy rooms, 2 double rooms, 2 family units and 8 generously proportioned chalets. All the rooms have their own bathroom, air-conditioner, fridge, hairdryer, telephone, and an electric kettle for tea and coffee.
