Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in Namibia

Namibia

At the foot of the fiery red cliffs of the Erongo Mountains in Namibia, Epako Safari Lodge & Spa stands in the middle of an 11,000-hectare private reserve where over 2,000 animals and birds live. An exclusive lodge surrounded by beautifully manicured lawns — precursors to the sophisticated comfort that awaits inside — Epako includes watering holes where rhinos, giraffes, oryx, kudus, elands and sometime even cheetahs and leopards come to quench their thirst. Relish the chance to take in this moving sight from the terrace, as you enjoy a refined dinner and for those seeking a more active adventure, the certified guides will gladly take you with them on an unforgettable sundowner aperitif overlooking the Epako mountain range.

EPAKO Restaurant

Lodge and restaurant in a game reserve.

This is a story of love at first sight. That of Markus Friesacher for Namibia, its deserts, its inhabitants, flora and fauna. The owner of the Austrian company Gmundner Keramik, the oldest European ceramics company, opened this lodge in 2022 as an autonomous and sustainable local project. Less than an hour from the capital, Windhoek, Gmundner Lodge combines exquisite refinement with unforgettable immersions in wild, unspoiled nature. With a nod to the luxurious safari camps of adventurers from another era, its suites are housed within large tents. Inside, expect teak flooring, Persian rugs, Chesterfield armchairs, four-poster beds wrapped in mosquito nets, and chests of drawers that resemble travel trunks... Bathtubs are found outside, on the terrace, promising sublime relaxation under the gaze of the animals that pass through these 14,800-acres of Kalahari savannah. The lodge, which has a large swimming pool and spa, runs on solar energy and its farm produces vegetables and fruits served in the restaurant. The lodge seamlessly combines social commitments with the preservation of regional culture and traditions through an art project to support the indigenous San people. Gmundner Lodge is also proudly run by locals, whose inherent and diverse knowledge of Namibia makes for a more meaningful cultural exchange with visitors.
