Makeover Namibia: River Crossing Lodge - Luxury Lodge Accomodation Sponsor for 'The Face'

River Crossing is 3km from Windhoek on the airport road being only 5 minutes from the heart of Windhoek and is located on a pristine 6 500 hectare game reserve. The main lodge building comprises a dining room, a centrally situated bar, a lounge with fireplace, and curio corner. Nestled outside between the lounge and dining area is the lap pool and elevated wooden deck that stretches out under the sun. At centre stage in full view of the main deck stand the Moltkeblick Mountain in contrast with the blanket of flickering city lights beyond the hills that surround Windhoek. Guests are welcome to enjoy the spectacular view while dining outside or enjoying cocktails any time of the day.

The Lodge together with its rooms have been designed to emulate old German farm houses each with a small “stoep”and “afdakkie” overlooking the natural surroundings.
River Crossing is also the perfect venue for conferences and functions. The conference room can seat up to 65 delegates and the lodge is geared to cater for almost any kind of event or function including birthday bashes, weddings, wedding anniversaries and many more.

Accommodation Configuration:
The 20 guest chalets consist of 14 twin chalets and 6 double chalets (all chalets have en suite bathrooms with showers, loos and basins). Two of the chalets have been designed with honeymooners in mind and have baths instead of showers …of course all rooms have the feather duvets wrapped in 100% cotton, the environmentally friendly guest amenities and the unparalleled service and hospitality to consider too. 6 chalets offer views of Windhoek and 14 face east offering superb sunrise views of the Moltkeblick Mountain.

Activities:

The game drives morning and afternoon are engaging with superb views, varied flora and abundant game. Nineteen different species roam the reserve, including roan, sable, giraffe and wildebeest, leopard and cheetah are also seen from time to time.
The reserve can also be explored on foot while accompanied by one of our guides or on your own.

Existing roads and game tracks make the going easier on foot. The reserve is very hilly, so a basic level of fitness is required.
Mountain bike enthusiasts are welcome to bring their own bikes to self-explore the terrain and its challenges. Horses are also a very eco-friendly way of exploring the lie of the land... quiet and un-invasive allowing guests to get a lot closer to the game than in a vehicle.
If the bush does not interest you then, there is Windhoek City with its many malls, shops and markets where you can shop till you drop!
