Gondwana Collection Namibia invites travellers to discover a world where heritage meets contemporary elegance. Introducing The Ekipa - a stunning retreat that blends the raw beauty of Namibia’s wilderness with the rich traditions of African culture.
Perched atop a hill amid the iconic mopane woodlands, The Ekipa is an exclusive sanctuary designed for two. Located just 10km south of the Andersson Gate to Etosha National Park, this haven offers tranquillity and proximity to the wonders of Etosha’s wildlife and landscapes.

As the latest addition to Gondwana’s exclusive Secret Collection, The Ekipa embodies a unique celebration of African artistry and heritage. Inspired by the "ekipa" - ornamental buttons traditionally worn by Namibian women as symbols of status, heritage, and beauty - the property pays homage to the continent’s cultural significance while embracing modern design. From its bold architecture to the textured panels reminiscent of pangolin scales, the property seamlessly blends traditional elements with contemporary elegance.
“The design of The Ekipa was inspired by the landscape, culture, and history of Namibia. We wanted to create something that felt timeless - a structure that honours the community and heritage of the region while blending harmoniously with the surrounding environment,” said Alain Noirfalise, Operational Director of Gondwana Collection Namibia. “The square shape, softened and rotated to mimic the ekipa, creates a design that is bold yet inviting, much like the traditions it celebrates.”
The property’s location provides easy access to Etosha National Park’s iconic attractions, including game drives and birdwatching opportunities. Guests can enjoy an all-inclusive stay for two, featuring culturally inspired offerings.
