Fashioned after a traditional German farmhouse, the lodge consists of just 20 guest chalets equipped with eco-conscious amenities, plush feather duvets and small balconies overlooking the natural surroundings. The U-shaped main building comprises a dining room, freestanding bar and lounge strewn with comfy leather sofas. Beyond lies the lap pool and elevated wooden deck where you can drink in a fantastic view across the Moltkeblick Mountain in one direction, and the twinkling lights of Windhoek in the other.

The reserve itself is home to various flora and 19 different species of game, so keep your eyes peeled for oryx, antelope, giraffe, wildebeest and the occasional leopard or cheetah on your morning and afternoon game drives. To get even closer to nature, you can choose to explore the reserve on foot in the company of an experienced guide, or experience the thrill of riding horseback. Mountain biking can also be arranged.

“TRIP OF A LIFETIME ”

Jonny took the time to discuss all the options with us and tailored every detail to our wishes. He suggested thoughtful add-ons, arranged excellent guides, and created a brilliant itinerary packed with maps, tips, and all the information we needed for exploring the two countries we visited. An absolute trip of a lifetime to Argentina and Brazil.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
