They don't have to most luxurious lodges and rack rates are not a bargain, but Gondwana Collection definitely takes the cake when it comes to great value for money when travelling the beautiful country. What makes their establishments from Fish River to Damaraland stand out from the crowd is their honest and unpretentious service. While staff at most other lodges are either grumpy or overly obedient and submissive, Gondwana people approach you on eye level and are never short of a good chat, while still maintaining a professional distance. Food is moreish country fare and when you retreat to your well-equipped room after an enjoyable evening, you can look forward to a good night's rest (and a decent breakfast the next morning).
For Namibian residents Gondwana is especially affordable. For a once-off fee of N$100 you get your personalized Gondwana Card, with which you are eligible for a 50% discount on accommodation and 25% on meals, for the rest of your life and without restrictions. We think that's a system many more lodges and lodge operators should have copied long ago. For now, it remains Gondwana's unique selling point with the local tourist clientele, a market that will surely become more important in the wake of overseas visitor numbers declining rapidly.
