En route from Swakopmund to the Etosha Pan nestled between the majestic Ugab Terraces, lies a place of mystery amongst wind-sculpted rock and far horizons.

This place is called Vingerklip Lodge.

Accommodation at Vingerklip Lodge consists of 25 units made up of 12 double rooms, 12 family suites and 1 luxury suite. Each room has an en-suite bathroom and separate entrance. The difference between the family suite and double room is that the family suite has a mezzanine floor with an additional double bed. The luxury suite is located on top of the Ugab Terraces, and is more commonly known as “Heaven’s Gate”. Experience breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and unmatched splendor of the Namibian sunset from your private terrace.

We have two fully licensed restaurants at our lodge offering delicious cuisine. These are the main Vingerklip Lodge restaurant and the “Eagles Nest”. Day visitors are welcome at the Vingerklip Lodge restaurant, however it is advised to phone ahead to secure your booking.The Eagles Nest restaurant serves dinner buffet only and is located up on the plateau.
