Ai-Aiba Lodge
Situated between Usakos and Omaruru amidst massive granite boulders overlooking the magnificent Erongo Mountain range is Ai Aiba Lodge.

Twenty thatched-roof twin bedrooms, tastefully appointed with en-suite shower, offer the visitor a unique, luxurious African experience. The restaurant, with its panoramic view, bar and crystal-clear pool nestling among the rocks, add to the natural tranquillity of the surroundings. As ancient rock paintings silently touch the visitor’s soul, a faint glimmer of history, mystique and the unknown becomes undeniably spellbinding.

Erindi Game Reserve
Owner of Erindi, Gert Joubert, had a dream to become involved in tourism. He now lives his dream. Erindi, which means ‘the place of water’ in local Herero, is a private game reserve where, surrounded by peace and tranquillity, real African wildlife can be experienced at its best.

Erindi lies 220 kilometres by road north of Hosea Kutako, Windhoek’s international airport, in the triangle between Okahandja, Otjiwarongo and Omaruru, 1 600 metres above sea level and situated in a malaria-free area.
With 71 000 hectares of varied landscapes ranging from mountains to bush and open savannah, Erindi is one the biggest privately owned game reserves in Namibia. The development is similar to that of the privately owned reserves like Sabi-Sabi that surround the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
Over 15 000 head of game teem over the large Erindi game reserve.

The Old Traders Lodge was the first accommodation project to be completed. It offers 35 luxurious rooms, all with a view across a waterhole. The décor, which is stylish and upmarket, was designed by Paul’s wife and can be described as modern with an African touch.
The bedroom units include roll-in beds, air-conditioning, showers, baths, safes, satellite TV, hairdryers, fridges and kettles. There are two rooms for disabled guests and conference facilities for 20 people (which can be adapted to accommodate 60 people if requested).
Additional amenities at Erindi are a swimming pool, Internet access, a children’s playroom and a 1.7-kilometre airstrip.
