Brandberg White Lady Lodge
Accommodation Damarland - Namibia
Brandberg White Lady Lodge lies nestled at the foot of Damaraland's Brandberg Mountain, a vast, compelling wilderness, in north-west Namibia. The mountain, (the highest in Namibia) is best-known for its rock paintings, especially the 'White Lady'. These fascinating paintings were drawn hundreds of years ago by Bushmen people, who inhabited the area.
The main area at the Brandberg White Lady Lodge has a fully licensed, well-stocked bar, with a comfortable lounge area for their guests to relax and unwind. The restaurant serves fine cuisine, and the large swimming pool, is the place to go to cool off from the hot, afternoon sun.
Accommodation is in either 15 rooms, 8 chalets, or 6 luxury tents, spread over the Ugab river valley, shielded from the elements by large, shady trees. They all have en-suite bathrooms, electric lights, ceiling fans and a private verandah with braai facilities.
Despite the arid conditions, Damaraland hosts a wide variety of wildlife. The famous desert elephant, the rare black rhino, springbok, oryx, zebra & ostrich can also be seen on guided hiking or 4x4 vehicle tours, in the most of the region.
Much of the landscape was formed by ancient lave flows, which add to the beauty of the surrounding countryside. It's many unusual rock formations and rare flora, including the endemic Welwitschia mirabilis at the Petrified Forest, make it a perfect area for hiking and photography alike. The region is also renowned for its geology, as well as the World Heritage Site of rock engravings at Twyfelfontein.
Activities in and around the area include hiking and guided 4x4 trails into the Ugab River valley, home to a wide variety of game, birdlife, reptiles and insects, the Brandberg Mountain itself, and Damaraland, with the Doros and Messum Crater.
Children of all ages are welcome at the Brandberg White Lady Lodge.
