ONDULI RIDGE

Experience Nature's Majesty at Onduli Ridge: Your Gateway to Namibia's Extraordinary Landscape

Welcome to Onduli Ridge, a haven of serenity and natural beauty nestled in the heart of Namibia's Damaraland. Named after the majestic resident giraffe of the area, Onduli Ridge offers a unique blend of luxury and immersion in the breathtaking landscape. The camp is strategically situated at the base of two south-facing granite outcrops, connected by a ridge that provides unparalleled vistas.

Onduli Ridge offers an oasis that seamlessly blends with the awe-inspiring surroundings. The six luxurious suites are carefully tucked among granite boulders, ensuring a sense of privacy and intimacy. The temperate climate of central Damaraland allows for naturally ventilated suites, partial open-air bathrooms, and expansive open communal areas that invite the outside in.

The camp's design is meticulously crafted to offer panoramic views from every corner, allowing you to experience the landscape's magnificence from your bed, desk, or even the bathroom. Prepare to be captivated by the rugged hills, expansive plains, and the stunning Brandberg mountain that graces the horizon.

Luxury Redefined: A Space for Connection and Privacy

The design philosophy of Onduli Ridge embraces the harmony between nature and comfort. Louvered shutters can be opened fully, merging indoor and outdoor spaces, or closed for complete privacy. Sink into the comfort of a king-size bed, cooled by its own 'climate conditioner' known as the Evening Breeze system. Afternoons are best spent in siestas, and for those seeking the ultimate connection with the starlit sky, your bed can be rolled out onto a private deck for a night under a billion stars.

Every facet of the camp exudes character and meticulous attention to detail. From spacious rooms to libraries, rain showers, and serene lounging spots, Onduli Ridge offers an environment that caters to every need. Indulge in culinary delights that tantalize your palate after a day of exceptional activities.

The blend of comfort and quality seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings, creating an unforgettable experience.

Exploring the Uncharted Territory: Your Safari Adventure Awaits

Located on a private concession within the Doro Nawas Conservancy, Onduli Ridge places you at the heart of Damaraland's wonders. Just 20 minutes away from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Twyfelfontein, the camp is surrounded by rugged hills, expansive plains, and wooded river valleys that form a semi-desert and sparse savannah landscape.

Immerse yourself in the splendor of Namibia's highest mountain, the Brandberg, visible from camp. The granite inselbergs that define Damaraland's landscape create a cathedral-like backdrop. Onduli Ridge serves as a gateway to geological marvels such as the Burnt Mountain, Organ Pipes, and the awe-inspiring Doros Crater.

The area is rich with desert-adapted black rhino, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, lions, spotted and brown hyenas, and a variety of plains game.

This was our 4th trip to Africa and by far the best ever. All the details were properly handled; we had not flight problems or delays and the service provided by Safari Guru was outstanding. I would recommend them, and have to friends and family. We will be going back to Africa with the outstanding Staff of Safari Guru.

We recently returned from Kenya, had a fabulous safari designed by Deon de Villiers of Safari Guru. We had some wonderful sightings and the whole thing went without a single hiccup. The guides were excellent. Deon was so helpful in allowing us to reschedule several times due to COVID restrictions preventing travel. We visited Sirikoi in the Lewa Conservancy and Serian Ngare, Serian Nkorombo and Mara Plains at Masai Mara, each place offering a different experience, each special in its own way. Loved the rhinocerous at Lewa, giraffe giving birth at Ngare, hippopotamus at Nkorombo and cats at Mara Plains, and so so much more. We highly recommend Deon and the Safari Guru team.

We finally got to take our Kenya/Rwanda adventure with Safari Guru post pandemic. Our trip was a fantastic experience that immersed us in Africa. The holiday went as planned, everything was organised so we were gently steered from place to place, which we enjoyed as we found we weren't "travel fit" after sitting on sidelines for two years! Our lodges in Kenya were beautiful, nice and small, felt like you were part of a family, rather than a customer! Rwanda was a highlight, an amazing country with a shocking past that is moving forward beautifully. The advice from Deon to do two gorilla walks was perfect. Our first day we hiked in to mountain and when we got there the heavens opened and it didn't stop! The scouts found 6 gorillas for us to glimpse as they were hiding from rain too! We trekked down in the mud, rivers of water ending up bedraggled! It was a great experience but the next day was perfect! Beautiful blue skies, trekked up and gorillas were everywhere, sunning themselves and eating vigorously. Was awesome being so close and they couldn't care less! Would highly recommend safari Guru, they planned us a perfect holiday and are easy to contact with queries and answer promptly. Travelling on our own was great as each place we stayed, there were like travellers from around the world to socialise with. Thanks Deon and Ashley

I was completely blown away with the service I received from Safari Guru. We had a most marvellous holiday in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. Everything went extremely well and the Wilderness team were excellent in looking after us at each of their safari camps. Well done to Deon and Ashley, Morag Cotsell

Had an amazing experience working with Deon and Safari Guru. My wife and I went into this trip thinking of it as a once in a lifetime experience. Because of our experience we have another trip in mind to bring our children so they can have the same amazing experience that we had. Thank you Deon! We look forward to seeing you again!

Safari Guru organized us an amazing journey in Namibia for our wedding anniversary; it will be long lasting and marvelous memories for years! We also greatly appreciated the dedication and support of Safari Guru's team during these challenging times of the Covid pandemic as they had to re-arrange 2 times our trip initially planned for 2020. Thanks and kudos to Deon and all at Safari Guru!

Botswana! What an incredible destination as we begin to travel again. This is a trip of a lifetime. The game drives were exhilarating, the people are friendly, the food fantastic, and the accommodations are meant to spoil you. Our trip was beautifully planned and executed by Deon De Villiers and his team at Safari Guru. They have been to every camp they recommend and tailor your safari experience to you. What else could you ask for! We will travel with them again and highly recommend Safari Guru to plan your next trip!
