Exclusive lodge in pristine Purros valley
Okahirongo Elephant Lodge,located in one of Namibia's most pristine and desolate areas, is built on a hill on the banks of the Ephemeral Hoarusib River. The lodge with its contemporary architecture, built from local stone, is a mix of tranquility, ultimate comfort and excellent service. The décor is pure luxury with a rich combination of ochre, honey and earth tones, dark African wood. Relax on one of the lounge beds and enjoy the tranquility and sweeping views over the rugged Purros valley.
