The Namibian tourism sector manages to surprise time and again with absurdly luxurious accommodation in the most isolated and remote places. One of those spots certainly is the Kunene village of Purros, where a perennial river has created a most amazing riverine oasis. While you can also pitch your tent at the superb community camp or opt for the equally charming community lodge, it is Okahirongo Elephant Lodge that elevates the surreal Purros experience to a completely different level. From your spacious bedroom and equally large bathroom, including outdoor shower, you look out over the valley below where the greenery of the Hoarusib creates a stark contrast to the surrounding desert and mountains. The best spot though is your private daybed on a separate platform from where you can soak in the amazing scenery and fresh sea breeze coming in from the Skeleton Coast in peaceful slumber.
Ask manager Pieter for a discount when in Purros. Chances are Okahirongo is not fully booked and you can stay at a fraction of the rack rate.
