Ongula Village Homestead Lodge  

Set between Ondangwa and Eenhana in northern Namibia, Ongula Village Homestead Lodge sits beside an active Owambo homestead about 26 km from Ondangwa town. This is a rural, culture-first stay close to Nakambale Museum (≈39.8 km), Ondangwa Craft Market (≈41 km) and Lake Oponono (≈41.5 km). Nearest major airport: Ondangwa (≈46 km). A family-friendly, camping-friendly base for immersive local stays and voluntourism.

Stay in African-style rondawels — five rondawels (four with twin beds or a double, plus one family rondawel with two twins and a double). Each unit is uniquely decorated and has an en-suite shower, tea/coffee station and mosquito screens. Two volunteer yurts sleep up to four each, and five terraced, leveled campsites offer shade, running tap water and shared cold-water ablutions. The cozy reception building hosts the dining room, bar and lounge with TV. Expect warm, Owambo-inspired décor and a true village atmosphere.

On-site restaurant, bar/lounge and dining room. Barbecue area and garden views. Fireplace in the lobby and a TV-equipped lounge. Complimentary wireless internet across the property. Tour and ticket assistance available for local excursions.
