Location
The location of Ohorongo Private Game Reserve is 300km north of Windhoek and can be easily accessed by road or air. There are two airstrips for charter flights in the reserve to cater most conveniently for guests arriving at either Ohorongo Lodge or Tented Camp.
It is a one-hour and 40-minute flight from Windhoek’s Hosea Kutako International Airport, and once you’ve landed, a member of Ohorongo team will be there to meet you at the airstrip and drive you to your accommodation in the reserve.
Alternatively, we can supply easy-to-follow directions for self-drivers from Windhoek (380km), Swakopmund (350km), and Kamanjab (80km). Guests will be met at the gate and guided to their accommodation within Ohorongo. Please note that only 4x4s and SUVs are appropriate for the terrain.
Road transfers from Windhoek or Hosea Kutako International Airport, as well as other destinations in Namibia can be arranged if guests would prefer this option. Please request a quote for your time of travel.
