Morning, midday and evening, the welcoming Ambo Delights restaurant, offers a cuisine inspired by the best local products.

Set in a welcoming decor, the restaurant offers a varied and refined cuisine throughout the day, from home-made breakfast to small delicious dishes to share at lunch, as well as food from the grill or game meat on a spit at dinner.

A team of passionate chefs, led by the Belgian chef Annelie Maes, offer an inventive and creative cuisine. The cuisine on offer is substantial with wonderfully generous pieces of ‘game meat’, fresh fish, and vegetarian dishes. The gastronomic ‘pièce de résistance’ has to be dinner: a delicious four-course meal.

Offering a culinary discovery of Namibia the cuisine is prepared from seasonal and, where possible, organic ingredients. This is of particular importance to us, so as to remain in balance with the nature that surrounds and engage in sustainable behaviour.

An enormous open fire adds a particular charm to the atmosphere, while live cooking simply increases the impression of sharing.

Majestic yet melting into the background, the 15m by 4m heated outdoor infinity pool offers a superb view over the savannah, from sunrise to midnight dip.

Between midday and 4pm, guests can take a meal in the restaurant that lies right next to the pool in keeping with the peaceful rhythm of the place.

The pool bar lies a few metres away and provides refreshment throughout the day. Between excursions or other activities, Omaanda guests can refresh themselves on the deck while enjoying one of the wide selection of drinks, cocktails and snacks.

At Omaanda, there's a space that is at one with nature, with the singular aim of promoting a holistic sense of wellbeing for the hotel's clients.

The aim is for guests to feel a sense of calm, serenity, and rest from their daily lives. Guests will disconnect with the outside world, so as to connect with their inner selves.

There's a place where rest, fresh food, connection to nature, pampering and activities are front of mind.

The teams are present to ensure anything you desire can be accommodated, from particular nutritional requirements all the way to custom activities.

The spa fits harmoniously with the rest of the resort. Its treatments, provided in a traditional hut, are inspired by local Namibian beliefs. Comprising two double treatment rooms, this space is dedicated to care of the body enabling perfect union of body, spirit and soul.

The goal is to enhance the life and well-being of everyone who enters this space. The spa offers a collection of the finest, traditionally inspired spa treatments in Namibia.

The Spa treatments are all designed to purify and rejuvenate your body. They embrace age-old healing techniques, beauty recipes that replicate ancient Namibian beliefs, and cultural traditions with therapies designed to encompass mind, body and spirit. Experienced therapists, with well- honed skills in the modern-day interpretation of treatments that have been handed down through the centuries, create a natural, relaxing and heartfelt spa encounter.

Upon arrival at The Spa, you will be welcomed with a selection of refreshing herbal beverages and fruits, before commencing a personalized treatment that uses only the finest organic, indigenous ingredients and delivers outstanding and long-lasting results. In visiting The Spa the sole aim is to take care of your personal temple.

Evening experience
Dinner finished, one’s only desire is to prolong the evening in the bar. Designed to be refined yet cosy, this is the ideal spot to take an aperitif or sundowner. Open from 5pm to 11pm, it offers a remarkable selection of wines and spirits as well as a wide range of cocktails.

The relaxed atmosphere of the bar encourages an evening playing cards or trying out the wooden games.

But the friendly ambiance is energized with the nearby ‘boma’, this typically local place to meet and mingle, that welcomes guests and invites them to while away the later hours of their evening in pure contentment. The open fire provides an atmosphere of timeless intimacy, with a deep respect for ancestral traditions.

Excursions
Numerous excursions and tours, included in the services offered at the lodge, make a change between adventure and rest.
