Ugab Game Farm & Lodge is a small, family-run lodge in the Ugab Valley on the eastern approach to Damaraland, close to the landmark Vingerklip rock pillar. Set on a working game farm among the region’s signature flat-topped mesas, it blends genuine farm hospitality with comfortable lodge accommodation and its own wildlife on the doorstep.
The rooms are comfortable and air-conditioned, with en-suite bathrooms and verandas that look out over the farm and the dramatic terraced hills that define this stretch of country. A swimming pool, a homely restaurant and a convivial bar round out the facilities, and the personal, family-run atmosphere means guests are looked after rather than processed. Meals draw on farm produce and hearty Namibian cooking.
Activities centre on the farm and its surroundings. Game drives introduce the plains species that roam the property, sunset drives make the most of the extraordinary light on the mesas, and the nearby Vingerklip and Ugab Valley offer walks and scenic exploration. The lodge sits conveniently on the route between Etosha and the coast, making it a rewarding overnight or two-night stop with more to do than a simple road halt.
Ugab Game Farm is offered on a half-board basis, with dinner, bed and breakfast included. As a price guide, a standard queen room for two adults is around N$6,300 per night including taxes – fair value for a warmly hosted lodge with its own game and scenery of this quality in a peaceful, uncrowded corner of Damaraland.
The lodge is reached on good gravel roads in the Ugab Valley near the Vingerklip, an easy and scenic detour on the route between Etosha and the coast that suits ordinary vehicles. Cooler months from May to October are ideal for game drives and for enjoying the terrace as the mesas glow at sunset. As a small, family-run property with limited capacity, it rewards early booking, especially in peak season. It suits couples and independent travellers who want personal hospitality, resident wildlife and dramatic scenery, and it pairs well with a night at the nearby Vingerklip for a relaxed eastern-Damaraland loop.
For travellers who want personal hospitality, wildlife and mesa views on the eastern side of the region, this lodge is a delight. Check live availability and today’s rate through the button below.
