Fodor's Expert Review Vingerklip Lodge
Damaraland, Kunene, Namibia
In a dramatic locale in Damaraland's Valley of the Ugab Terraces, this lodge is set against the backdrop of a mighty stone finger pointing toward the sky. Take the time to listen to the silence on one of their walking trails or as you lounge by either of the two swimming pools. The 360-degree views from the Sundowner Terrace are magnificent. Bungalows cling to the side of a rocky hill and are clean, comfortable and air-conditioned, but it's the remarkable views that you'll always remember, especially if you stay in the Heaven's Gate room.
PROS
- underwent renovations during the pandemic
- desert elephants often visit the lodge's dam in November and December
- fully off-grid and solar-powered since renovations
CONS
- rooms are not large, but there are 11 family rooms with lofts for kids
- limited seating at Eagles Nest restaurant atop the plateau, booking is essential
- Damaraland's key attractions are an hour away
