Architecture
The Tree House is designed to blend seamlessly into its natural rocky surroundings. Built with local timber and elevated on wooden stilts, it offers panoramic views while maintaining a rustic yet elegant style. The open structure, large windows, and natural textures create a warm, immersive atmosphere close to nature.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the heart of the Tree House experience. Constructed with locally sourced materials and designed to minimize environmental impact, it relies on natural ventilation and low-energy systems. Waste is carefully managed, and eco-friendly practices ensure guests enjoy comfort while respecting the delicate balance of the environment.
The Himba village
Step into the world of the Himba, one of Namibia’s most iconic communities. Just a short distance from Onjowewe, the Otjikandero Himba Orphan Village offers visitors a unique opportunity to learn about centuries-old traditions that continue to thrive today.
Families here care for orphaned children, raising them in the authentic Himba way of life—preserving rituals, dress, language, and cultural values. Your visit supports the Otjikandero Community Trust, which funds education, health, and development projects within the community.
Meeting the Himba is more than an excursion—it is a respectful cultural exchange that leaves lasting impressions while helping sustain one of Namibia’s most fascinating heritages.
