The lodge is located approximately 2.5 hours from Windhoek, off the usual tourist routes and main roads, hidden on the edge of the Kalahari – ideal for experiencing authentic Africa in a family atmosphere. For over 45 years, the German owners of the lodge have been committed to nature conservation and species protection. Wild herds roaming freely and enjoying the vastness of the land will delight every nature lover. In the reserve you will find eland, kudu, oryx, hartebeest, striped and white-tailed wildebeest, blesbok, black rhinos, springbok, ibex, impala, plains zebra, ostriches and giraffes, among others. Smaller animal species such as pangolins, aardwolves, aardwolves, bat-eared foxes, as well as a rich bird life (more than 120 bird species) and fascinating reptiles and insects are also native here. The animals roam freely here, unhindered by fences. The flora around the lodge also holds many secrets – discover a piece of unspoilt Africa at this lodge! In the vast Kalahari region in particular, it is a special experience for every nature lover to go on a hike and explore the wide tree and bush savannahs, salt pans and overgrown dunes on foot or on horseback, under the full moon and into the night.
The lodge is very committed to the protection of the endangered black rhinos and has already reintroduced six animals threatened with extinction into their natural habitat in 1997.
