Shady Retreat
Ohorongo Safari Lodge is the original household on the reserve, now converted into a private guest space with five ensuite bungalows, traditionally decorated and kept cool between thatch and tile. Shared outdoor spaces are peaceful and offer comfortable places to relax while listening to the birdlife and admiring the lovingly maintained desert garden.
Overlooks a waterhole
A swimming pool surrounded by a green, grass lawn, a bar, lounge, library and curio shop are linked to the individual bungalows by the slate-stone pathways, creating what feels like an oasis in the heart of the expansive Ohorongo Private Game Reserve. The carefully curated succulent garden is in tune with the arid surroundings, and there is a waterhole on the perimeter so that guests can enjoy watching wildlife pass by in their natural habitat.
African-Euro Cuisine
By its very nature, Ohorongo is about sustainability and connectedness with the natural surroundings. As such, there is little to distract from the experience of being in this special place in Africa, only elements to enhance one’s enjoyment of it.
The food prepared and served is a big part of celebrating the natural ingredients and culture of the location. Guests can expect to enjoy top-grade, sustainability sourced meat, and fresh produce largely produced in the vegetable garden on site. Before sitting down to eat together, enjoy a drink around the fire overlooking the last of the light on the plains.
