River Crossing Lodge

River Crossing Lodge is situated east of Namibia’s capital city, Windhoek. Nestled amongst the foothills of the Auas Mountains the lodge offers a relaxed country location only a few minutes drive from the Windhoek city centre. This location makes it an ideal first or final destination on any visit to Namibia, especially if your onward journey departs or arrives at the main international airport.

The architecture at River Crossing Lodge resembles a farm style of yesteryear, complete with wide balconies decorated with impressive pots of geraniums, all on an unspoiled game estate.

The entrance through the main lodge area is through a set of impressive double doors that lead straight to the bar overlooking the swimming pool. The large dining room leads out onto a deck, where dramatic views of Windhoek, the mountains, and the surrounding game farm abound. This is the ideal venue for a sundowner and a snack as the beautiful Namibian sun sets.

To the left of the bar is a large lounge, furnished with comfortable leather sofas and decorated with black and white pictures of vintage Windhoek. Meals are served in the restaurant, and dinner needs to be pre-booked, most of the vegetables being grown in the lodge’s own gardens.

Accommodation at River Crossing Lodge is in 20 rooms; 5 have double beds and 15 have twin beds. A choice of settings are available for rooms; rim-perched, Windhoek facing, or Auas Mountain view. All rooms are equipped with DSTV satellite channels and wireless Internet access, and offer private balconies with excellent vistas.
