Luxury Lodges · Erongo Mountains, Namibia
Hohenstein Lodge
Overview
The lodge is located on the bottom of the Hohenstein, the highest peak of the Erongo mountains.
Measuring up to 2,319 m above sea level, the Hohenstein represents the impressive western edge of the Erongo mountain range. In the evening, spectacular sunsets above the desert plain bathe the mountain in fantastic red light. Towards the west, the view over the impressive scenery extends as far as the Spitzkoppe peak, a prominent relief from the plain in a distance of about 30 km.
Take a seat on the restaurant’s terrace and sip a cool drink while enjoying this spectacular view as well as the view down the valley dotted with ancient camel thorn trees. Having dinner in the restaurant or on the spacious terrace while watching game on the water hole is just as much a memorable experience. During the day, numerous birds can be seen.
If you stay a little longer, make sure to schedule day trips to Spitzkoppe, do some game and bird watching or go on extensive hikes. Well sign posted hiking trails are offered as well as mountain bikes for excursions on the farm grounds

NATURE EXCURSION ON THE FARM GROUNDS OF HOHENSTEIN LODGE
This afternoon excursion starts with a 20 minutes drive on a game drive car to the staring point of the guided hiking tour and leads to the most interesting landscape of the farm, characterized by spectacular rock formations and fascinating vegetation. The experienced nature guide will explain the geological highlights of the Erongo mountains as well as the special vegetation of the area. The minerals found on the mountain - semi-precious stones like tourmaline and aquamarine are mined here - are just as much a subject as the rock paintings of the Bushmen. With some luck, giraffes, various antelope species or other animals can also be spotted. On the way back, spectacular views including the sun setting behind the majestic Spitzkoppe mountain and amazing photographic opportunities are waiting. After having a sundowner on a beautiful place, another twenty minutes drive leads back to the lodge.
