This stylish and welcoming lodge is a real gem, with large russet hand-painted suites, a pool, outdoor heated jacuzzi , sala for siestas and an informative library. In the dining area, exquisite cooking is offered using home-grown herbs and vegetables and a choice of 2,000 bottles of wine from the underground clay cellar. The flat roof is ideal for sundowners and admiring the stars of the southern sky from the telescope. Enjoy guided nature walks or visiting local artists based on the farm.

Kate stayed there in Nov: "The road to Eningu is good and it is very easy to drive. The lodge is very attractive in a simple unassuming way, made of clay with thatched roofs, interesting Kalahari artefacts decorating the public areas. There's a small sitting room with books, curio shop, indoor dining area and tea/coffee station and a covered deck for alfresco breakfasts and lunches. A covered 'boma' /evening dining area lies a few metres away from the main lodge. There are 9 rooms scattered around the lodge. Each is simply decorated using Kalahari decoration - wood, beads etc. with en suite shower room. The pool area is very attractive with lots of shade available and wooden loungers. There's also a covered Jacuzzi so that you can use the jacuzzi and go straight to the pool.
Stephanie takes a guided afternoon walk at 5pm (earlier in winter) into the farm. She's extremely informative and tries to introduce guests to life in Namibia and explains Namibian attitudes to farming/conservation, as well as covering some of Namibia's history and of course the animal life of the Kalahari and its plants. This is particularly good if Eningu was at the beginning of a stay."
