The dining room is also
located in the guesthouse, along with the comfortable lounge the
perfect spot to relax after a long day outdoors.
In addition to guesthouse,
there are two ‘bush bungalows’ situated about 500 metres from the
main guesthouse. The truly unique bungalows are built according to
the traditional Herero method.
As Herero tradition dictates,
the basic structure of the bungalows are fashioned from wooden poles
(or latte, harvested from non-indigenous invader bush, thus
assisting in the combating bush encroachment. These are then covered with a
mixture of clay from termite hills, mixed with ombumbi, which is
smeared on by hand by the women of the village.
While the bungalows
themselves are constructed with only natural materials, the
interiors of bungalows offer all the modern amenities to ensure your
comfort. They also offer the unique choice of showers either inside
or outside surrounded by breath-taking views!
The traditional
African grass-roofed lapa next to the swimming pool offers al
fresco dining and a fully stocked ‘honesty bar’. Here guests can sit
on the wooden deck and watch the floodlit waterhole as antelope,
warthog and the occasional leopard come for a drink, and in turn, be
watched by our resident family of baboons.
