Vogelstrausskluft Country Lodge overlooks on ancient dry riverbed with spectacular sunsets in this arid and interesting part of Southern Namibia alongside the upper part of the Fish River Canyon.
The lodge is built on the rise of a small hill, overlooking an ancient river course which forms a grassy valley below.
The design and layout of the lodge means you can enjoy spectacular sunsets each evening whilst relaxing on the deck with a refreshing drink in hand.
Something a little different from other lodges in Namibia, and a nice feature are the huge rattan lights hanging from the thatched ceiling.

What To Do at Vogelstrausskluft Lodge
A large mahogany deck extends out from the main building and offers great views of the valley and small waterhole below.
Wrought iron tables and chairs with shady umbrellas are dotted across the deck and a small infinity pool stands at one end.
We thought it was a shame that there are were no sun loungers to sit on in between swims but the views from the pool more than made up for it.
