About
Gmundner Lodge

Journey just southeast of Windhoek to discover Gmundner Lodge, cradled between the Kalahari Desert to the east and the Khomas mountain plateau to the west.

With a philosophy founded on sustainable luxury, Gmundner Lodge reimagines the traditional safari to offer guests a distinctive and highly personalized back-to-nature experience in Namibia’s enchanting wilderness.

In homage to our heritage, Gmundner Lodge is a timeless and elegant representation of wild luxury, encompassing unrivalled comfort, exceptional service, meaningful experiences and unwavering devotion to our people and planet. Gmundner Lodge lends itself to more extended stays for a deeper immersion into Namibia’s rich culture and ancient history.

The
Lodge

Reminiscent of a by-gone era and enveloped under canvas, our main lodge welcomes you to relish the slow, unhurried pace of life in the wilderness.

Thoughtfully designed for lazy afternoon aperitifs or post-safari tipples, the heart of our lodge is drenched in safari nostalgia, featuring handcrafted campaign furniture and inviting lounge spaces scattered with antique safari curiosities, telescopes and binoculars.

To make the most of the exquisite natural setting, the lodge’s billowing canvas exteriors roll away to unveil sweeping views of the dramatic landscape and passing wildlife outside. Here, cloud-like sunbeds surround the sparkling infinity pool for a cool reprieve from the heat of the day, poised at the edge of the deck to capture spectacular sunset horizons.

At nightfall, the lodge transforms under the warm glow of flickering lanterns and candlelight to reveal an unimaginable deep onyx sky, splashed with stars best admired from the expansive deck or around the boma’s fire.

FINE Dining Experience

Guests at Gmundner Lodge can expect an unrivalled fine dining experience. The chef and his team are supplied daily with fresh, high quality organic produce from their own farm.

Guests can enjoy fruit, vegetables, eggs, dairy products, beef and venison, honey and much more from the farm. The delicious dishes prepared by the kitchen team are accompanied by award-winning South African wines.

Gmundner Farm is the centrepiece of Gmundner’s ‘Back to Nature’ vision. The farm’s innovative concept is based on the principle of sustainable agriculture, where only as much is taken from the earth as is needed.

We place particular emphasis on fine dining. Out of a love of tradition, our kitchen is equipped with the finest Gmundner ceramic tableware. A trademark of the Gmundner brand, whose history dates back to 1492.

Be enchanted by our kitchen and service team and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner at Restaurant Friesacher.

Whether you’re pursuing respite or adventure, the main lodge is your home away from home to enjoy at your leisure throughout your stay.
