An exemplary luxury safari lodge less than one hour from Windhoek, Namibia’s capital city, Omaanda is the best place to rest before or after a Namibian adventure. 

You will probably have to transit through Windhoek, by air or road, and Omaanda Lodge makes the layover desirable. Flop around in supreme comfort, energise after your travel, remove sand and dust in the spa, and gasp at the endless Namibian savannah. 

While the lodge is close to the airport it’s located on a private wildlife reserve. And there’s nothing quite like an oryx wandering past to provide a welcome or final reminder of wild Africa.
