GUIDED TOURS
Guided Farm Drive: Embark on an informative journey across our farm. Learn about our sustainable cattle and horse management practices and get up close with our Santa Gertrudis cattle and Arab horses. Discover how we protect our livestock from the naturally present predators, including leopards.
Cheetah Conservation Fund and the Little Serengeti: Experience an enriching visit to the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). A CCF guide will introduce you to their conservation efforts and allow you to observe cheetahs up close, particularly during feeding times (excluding Sundays). Conclude your tour with a sunset visit to the Little Serengeti, where you can spot a variety of wildlife such as Eland, Springbok, Hartebeest, and Oryx. Nighttime sightings might include Bat-eared Foxes, Aardvarks, Porcupines, and if your lucky, maybe a Leopard.
Each bungalow is built by hand using traditional building methods and materials from the surrounding mountains.
Trail Rides
Escape the heat with rides scheduled during the cooler parts of the day. Whether you’re a novice seeking a leisurely walk or an experienced rider yearning for a canter across vast landscapes, our guided out-ride caters to your preference.
Opt for Short rides (1 hour) for a relaxed experience, perfect for novices, or choose Longer rides (2.5-3 hours) for a more extensive exploration, ideal for seasoned riders. Morning rides start between 07:00 and 08:00, and afternoon rides commence between 15:00 and 16:00.
Our Sundowner rides offer a unique experience with a drink at one of our enchanting sundown locations. Return comfortably via vehicle after sundown.
While the possibility of close encounters with wildlife adds to the excitement, it’s important to note they aren’t guaranteed.
To secure your spot, be sure to book at least 24 hours in advance, ensuring availability for your preferred time.

Good To Know
We Are Not A Luxury Lodge, We are Guest Farm.
While we strive to maintain a high standard in what we offer we are still rooted in the guest farm tradition. We don’t pretend to be an any-number-of-star-lodge, but rather want to make you feel comfortable in the traditional and more familial Namibian guest farm sense.
We Are Family Friendly
Families are welcome. Some bush bungalows can accommodate an extra bed and there is also a family unit close to the restaurant and pool which consists of two rooms with a connecting door. Each room has got its own bathroom. There is room for two adults and up to 3 or even 4 children depending on their age.
We Are POC & LGBTQIA+ Friendly
We strongly believe in an equal, diverse and free society and warmly welcome persons of any orientation, background or identity to enjoy a safe stay at our facilities. We absolutely do not tolerate bigotry, homophobia, racism, sexism or any other form of hate speech on our property.
We Have Pets
As you would expect on a farm we have got dogs and cats. While the cats usually do not take much notice of the humans around them our dogs are fond of humans. Usually they are with Harry & Sonja, but can be found around in the entertainment area sometimes and will also accompany you on your hike up Klein Waterberg if they notice you setting off. They know the trail and where to find water, which means they do take care of themselves and will not be a bother.
Our Key Deposit Policy
In as much as some of our guests might not like being asked for a refundable “key deposit” at check-in we ask for your understanding. Namibia is a big country and chasing keys which accidentally remained in cargo pants pockets, handbags or backpacks is a mission. We just found that the refundable key deposit of N$ 100.00 is the best reminder for our guests as well as our reception staff.
Our A Shared Farm Table Concept
In our restaurant you will find two long tables rather than small individual tables. In true guest farm style all guests sit together at those shared tables. This tradition goes back to the early days of guest farms when you had a family table with few guests. The concept allows guests to share travel experiences and first-hand information on routes and roads, accommodation and activities.
Due to Covid-19/SARS-COV2, of course, this concept was adjusted. Guests are seated with the required distance and the official health and safety protocol is observed.
