Gmundner Lodge offers a fantastic array of action-packed activities, both on- and off-property, including game drives in the Kalahari, e-biking, horse-riding, helicopter flights, and various sports.
A unique world of wildlife awaits with morning and afternoon game drives in the Kalahari Desert, led by knowledgeable guides who’ll share their extensive knowledge about the region. As the afternoon turns to night, stop for sundowners in a scenic spot where you’ll be fully immersed in the Namibian wilderness.
Take to the terrain on an e-bike specially customised for the African wilderness and gain a completely different perspective of the land, its flora, and its fauna. The aptly named SunCycle is powered by the sun and comes equipped with a solar-charged battery.
Test your precision at long-bow shooting in the activities space at Gmundner Lodge, putting your aiming skills into practice! A great way to spend a fun-filled hour or two on-property.
Try your hand at clay pigeon shooting, with professional guidance to help you on your way. This is an exciting challenge for both beginners and experienced shooters, allowing you to test your accuracy and hone your concentration skills! Please note that this activity incurs an additional cost.
Horse-riding allows you to experience the magic of the Kalahari Desert in a very special way. Whether first thing in the morning or on an atmospheric sundowner ride, riding offers an unmatched sense of connection with the natural world. This activity incurs an additional cost too.
Gmundner Lodge has a specially equipped ceramics room where guests can paint their own pieces – the perfect spot to get creative! An additional cost is incurred.
With almost zero light pollution, Gmundner Lodge is ideally positioned for observing the Milky Way through the property’s Swarovski telescope. At extra cost.
Whether you choose a short scenic flight or an extended adventure, Gmundner’s helicopter flights ensure guests can enjoy sensational aerial views of Namibia’s stunning landscapes. At extra cost.
Gmundner Lodge has access to a nearby golf course where enthusiasts of the sport can enjoy memorable hours on the green. At extra cost.
Gmundner Lodge is located less than an hour’s drive south-east of Namibia’s capital city of Windhoek. Guests can choose to fly by helicopter to the lodge helipad. There’s also a 2,200-meter long airstrip that allows you to fly directly from the lodge to any destination within Namibia.
At the heart of Gmundner Lodge, the elegant lounge and dining spaces evoke a bygone safari era, styled with antiques, telescopes, and handcrafted campaign furniture.

Roll-up canvas walls create a flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, beckoning guests to gaze endlessly at the jaw-dropping views. Evenings are spent at the central bar for pre-dinner wine and conversation, and at lantern-lit tables where fine cuisine is served. Outside, a wide terrace with shaded sofas leads to an infinity pool and sun deck designed for quiet respite. There’s also a traditional boma – the classic setting for sundowners around an open fire. For a deeper sense of relaxation, the spa has a menu of restorative treatments, and active guests can also work out at the gym. Gmundner Lodge offers a marvellous sense of solitude, close to the city yet worlds apart.
Gmundner Lodge offers twelve open-plan safari suites, secluded from the main camp to prioritise space and privacy.

The collection includes eight double suites and four family residences featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Inside, the design reflects a vintage olde-worlde luxury, characterised by romantic four-poster beds, soft leather sofas, and elegant chandeliers. However, the defining feature is the suite’s canvas front, which rolls up entirely to merge the living space with an expansive wooden deck and utterly breathtaking savanna views. This gorgeous outdoor space – complete with a shaded lounge, a clawfoot bath, and a shower – is designed for total immersion in the surrounding wilderness. While the style is classic, every detail has been thought of, including individually controlled air-conditioning, walk-in closets, and Wi-Fi. Further amenities include a Nespresso machine, a personal bar, yoga mats, and an electronic safe in each room.
