Vingerklip Lodge

As a Namibian traveller and outdoor lover.... this lodge is the place to stay! If you are looking to clap your hands so that the lights come on.. then dont stay here! My experience was truly awesome... hike to the Vingerklip, drive to the Vingerklip, cycle to the Vingerklip,take a jog to the Vingerklip? Take the hike up to the mountaintop bar and restaurant... the view is absolutely amazing... the sunsets are truly the best! Photographers paradise! I found the staff very friendly, the management are great people... there are two pools to cool down in.... overall.... it was absolutely great! Well done Vingerklip Lodge! I will be back!! Ask them about the game drive to the neighbouring game farm... it was just as awesome! Dont only go for one night!! You will miss out on so much....

One of the most beautiful lodge I stayed in my trips to Namibia. I would have stayed two nights instead of one! Our chalet was very nice and had a balcony with a lovely view. The chalets are scattered on a small hill that is covered by beautiful succulent plants. Food is good, we enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. Dinner was a lekker buffet with a choice of game meat and vegetables. Staff is very kind. Location is very good, landscape is fantastic, the view is stunning on every side and you can walk to the Vingerklip in 30 minutes. I enjoyed a lot the sunset from the “Eagle’s Nest” terrace bar. To improve: there isn’t a fridge in the room, it could be useful even in winter, since it was quite hot when I was there in August, I think it is fundamental in summer.

We stayed at Vingerklip for one night on the way from Swakopmund to Etosha. We had a really lovely warm welcome from the lady on reception and cool towels and a cold drink which were very much appreciated after a long journey! Be warned the roads leading up to Vingerklip really aren’t great, although I’m not sure the hotel is responsible for this. The main lodge building is very nice and feels authentically African. Food in the main lodge was average, however experience in eagles nest was exceptional, unmatched sunset views of an incredible landscape surrounding the lodge and good food too. Pool was also lovely but some updated furniture is needed here. Sadly our room let Vingerklip down - tired mismatched furniture, the bathroom in particular was very tired, shower was not acceptable - mouldy and in dire need of refurb. No complimentary tea coffee or bottled water in the room and although this is available in the main lodge as our room was quite far from here these basic facilities in the room would have been nice. We appreciate that Vingerklip doesn’t market itself as a super luxurious lodge, but don’t feel that’s an excuse given we stayed at other locations in Namibia at a similar price where the rooms were much better. I think if rooms were updated, this place could be truly brilliant.

We throughly enjoyed our 2 night stay at this lodge. Surrounded by amazing semidesert scenery with rock formations, the lodge is well designed to blend in with natural rock paths and terraces. The rock gardens are beautifully planted with flowering desert plants from the region. Chalets very comfortable with private patios overlooking the scenery. Two very attractive swimming pools. The entire camp is supplied by solar power including air conditioning. Half board included in the price and considering the remote location the food is excellent - delicious venison both nights. Nice short hikes around the area.
