HEART OF THE ZANNIER RESERVE
The sleek and stylish Omaanda can be found at the heart of the Zannier Reserve, a 9,000-hectare private wilderness on the outskirts of Windhoek.
Looking out onto the reserve’s endless expanse of savannah, this luxury lodge has an understated, timeless design with just fifteen rounded thatched huts.
Each is a sumptuous haven with walk-in showers, fireplaces and private terraces facing a small lake. Earth-toned interiors are complemented by rare objects and precious African antiques.
You’ll head out twice a day on bespoke excursions and species-specific game drives, a chance to see and photograph the reserve’s wildlife and landscapes. Cool off between activities with a swim in the outdoor infinity pool – complete with stunning savannah views – and end the day in the traditional boma where you can share your stories around a blazing open fire. Those seeking further relaxation can venture into the spa where treatments are inspired by local Namibian traditions.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
