Gondwana Collection Namibia is thrilled to announce the opening of The Ekipa, a new addition to its esteemed Secret Collection. Nestled amidst the iconic mopane woodlands, just 10 kilometers south of the Andersson Gate to Etosha National Park, the Ekipa offers an exclusive sanctuary designed for two.
Inspired by the traditional “ekipa,” ornamental buttons worn by Namibian women as symbols of status, heritage, and beauty, the Ekipa seamlessly blends the rich traditions of African culture with contemporary elegance. The property’s bold architecture, featuring textured panels reminiscent of pangolin scales, pays homage to the continent’s cultural significance while harmonizing with the surrounding environment.
Operational Director Alain Noirfalise shared, “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 honors the community and heritage of the region while blending harmoniously with the surrounding environment.”
Guests at The Ekipa can enjoy an all-inclusive stay, featuring culturally inspired offerings and easy access to Etosha National Park’s iconic attractions. The retreat promises a tranquil escape with panoramic views, a private plunge pool, and a fully equipped kitchen and lounge area.
Gondwana Collection Namibia’s CEO, Gys Joubert, added, “Our vision with The Ekipa is to provide guests with an extraordinary journey that transcends time and space, leaving an indelible mark on their souls. We invite travelers to surrender to the allure of this exclusive sanctuary, where Gondwana’s renowned hospitality meets complete luxury, and embark on an unforgettable journey of discovery and connection.
The Ekipa is the latest addition to Gondwana’s Secret Collection, which includes other luxurious retreats such as The Weinberg Urban Pod in Windhoek, the Reverie Kalahari Pod, Desert Whisper in the Namib Desert, The Pearls Beach Pods in Swakopmund, and Namushasha River Villa at the Kwando River. Each property offers an all-inclusive experience for two, ensuring privacy and exclusivity.
