    Your guesthouse is conveniently located in our neighborhood – we would be delighted to meet you there personally and perhaps share some insider tips for your upcoming journey.

    Currently included in the price:
    1 night, including breakfast

    For a great Namibian dinner, you’ll find tips in our specially prepared brochure.

    Of course, this trip can also be booked as a private guided tour – just ask us.

  • A Spectacular Start to an Unmatched Riding Journey

    In the heart of Namibia, just about an hour from Windhoek, lies a sprawling farm lodge – the perfect place to begin your Namibia adventure in a relaxed or stylish way. Surrounded by gentle grass savannas, mountains, valleys, and camelthorn forests, here you will experience authentic Africa, warm hospitality, and unspoiled nature across 15,000 hectares.

    The farm lodge has been family-run for generations and stands for personal attention, true passion for Namibia, and unforgettable nature experiences – whether you are a rider or simply want to feel the soul of Africa.

    Riding at this farm is far more than a simple excursion – it is an experience full of trust, mindfulness, and genuine passion for horses. The stable and horse training are managed by an expatriate who has made an excellent name for herself in Namibia with her extraordinary horsemanship skills. A professionally run, structured, and calm riding operation like this is not a given here, making her commitment to horse welfare all the more noticeable: the well-being of the horses always comes first.

    Riding is done using English equipment, and the herd is a colorful mix of Arabian and other breeds – calm, sure-footed, and well suited for the terrain.

    Weight guidelines for the well-being of the horses:

    • Approx. 70 kg for beginners

    • Up to 85 kg for advanced and experienced riders

    High-quality riding lessons are available for those interested – individually tailored and professionally supervised. The offering is complemented by guided rides to the farm’s most beautiful spots, where you experience the landscape at your own pace. From the saddle, you can observe giraffes, oryx antelopes, and many other wildlife species in their natural habitat – a deeply moving and unforgettable moment.

    These riding experiences combine nature, respect, and genuine equestrian passion – authentic, mindful, and exceptional.

  • Red Sand & Western Dreams

    From the farm lodge, you will drive about 180 km to an exclusive ranch in the Kalahari – a place where wilderness, elegance, and horse riding adventure combine in a unique way. Here, you will experience some of the most beautiful rides in Namibia: on horseback, you get close to wild giraffes, gallop over gentle dunes of red Kalahari sand, and feel the incomparable silence of Africa – only your horse’s breathing and the crunch of the sand accompany you.

    Even off the saddle, a wide variety of experiences awaits you:

  • From One Sea of Sand to the Next!

    Today, your route takes you about 327 km westward – from the Kalahari into the legendary Namib Desert, the oldest desert in the world. Along the way, the landscape changes noticeably: the red dunes of the Kalahari give way to the golden expanses of the Namib, and the light begins to shine more intensely.

    Your destination is a comfortable lodge right at the entrance to Namib-Naukluft National Park – perfectly located to explore one of Namibia’s greatest natural wonders: Sossusvlei.

    The next morning, it’s time to rise early! When the sun rises over the dunes, the park gates open. In the clear, cool morning air, there is an almost magical silence as the first rays of sunlight turn the dunes into glowing red – an unforgettable moment. From here, it’s about 60 kilometers to the world-famous Sossusvlei dunes and the mystical Deadvlei, where centuries-old camelthorn trees look like sculptures from another world.

    For those who prefer a guided experience, tours can be booked at the lodge – ideal for learning the fascinating history and geology of this unique desert landscape.

    In the afternoon, another excursion is worthwhile: with your ticket, you can return to the park and explore Sesriem Canyon – a deep rock gorge shaped over millennia, offering a striking contrast to the open desert.

    Many additional tips, route suggestions, and little secrets about the Namib are included in our exclusive guest booklet – packed with recommendations and insider knowledge for your personal desert adventure.

    Currently included in the price:
    2 nights, including breakfast & dinner

  • Finally some cool air & plenty of adventure

    After the warm days in the desert, the sea is calling! On day 7 of your Namibia journey, you will drive approximately 350 kilometers to the Atlantic coast – to Swakopmund, where fresh breezes, the sound of the waves, and a completely new way of life await. With the first breath of the cool, salty air, you immediately feel the desert left behind.

    Your accommodation is centrally located in the heart of the city, close to the promenade and charming colonial buildings – ideal for exploring Swakopmund comfortably on foot.

    The following day is entirely yours and your sense of adventure! Swakopmund is Namibia’s adventure capital – where desert meets ocean, calm meets adrenaline. We have deliberately not scheduled fixed activities, so you can decide spontaneously what appeals to you:

    Our recommendations for unforgettable experiences:

  • Bushmen & Rock Art

    From the Atlantic coast, today your journey takes you about 200 kilometers inland – into a world of massive granite domes, mysterious caves, and ancient stories: the Erongo Mountains. Your lodge is nestled among rocks that shimmer like liquid gold in the evening light. From the pool, you have a magnificent view over the Erongo plains.

    We have not scheduled fixed activities here. Instead, you decide how to spend your day:
    Take a sundowner tour and watch the sun slowly sink behind the rocks, visit the millennia-old rock paintings, or explore the fascinating Living Museum of the San, where the Bushmen keep their ancient culture alive.

    For those seeking more activity, you can hike, climb, or take an adventurous e-bike tour – accompanied by the chirping of birds and the rustle of the wind through the acacias.

    Your rooms are equipped with air conditioning and offer a grand view. Often, you can spot antelopes, cheeky birds, and, with a bit of luck, even giraffes – a sight that makes every moment special.

    Plan your day entirely to your liking – here, in the heart of Erongo, Namibia shows itself at its most authentic, peaceful, and magical.

  • Luxury, Wilderness & Conservation – Your Private Safari Paradise

    On day 10, your journey takes you approximately 315 kilometers toward Etosha National Park – into a region where luxury, wilderness, and conservation combine impressively. Your accommodation is just outside the park, in an exclusive private game reserve, considered one of Namibia’s most extraordinary safari destinations.

    The lodge itself is a place of pure elegance and tranquility – with sweeping views of the bush, tastefully decorated suites, and service that leaves nothing to be desired. Here, comfort and nature merge into an experience you will not forget.

    But true luxury here is not only in comfort, but also in responsibility:
    The private reserve is committed to the breeding and protection of endangered rhinos. Through consistent efforts, sustainable research, and close collaboration with rangers, the project has been so successful that the reserve is currently being expanded by many additional hectares – an impressive example of active conservation.

    On-site, unforgettable experiences await:

    • Guided wildlife observation on foot – up close to nature

    • Exclusive night safaris under the sparkling starry sky

    Currently included in the price:
    2 nights, all meals, twice-daily scheduled camp activities, park fees, laundry, and local beverages

  • Even More Safari – In the Heart of the Wilderness

    The adventure continues!
    Tonight you will stay on the other side of Etosha National Park, in a charming lodge just 10 kilometers east of the Von Lindequist Gate. Amid acacias and red dust, under an endless starry sky, you may hear the distant roar of a lion or the rustle of passing antelopes – pure safari feeling!

    It is best to set off early in the morning and traverse the entire park – from west to east. Along the way, with a bit of luck, you may encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, or rhinos moving through the grasslands in the morning sun.
    By midday, you reach your new lodge – perfect to relax in the shade before heading out later in the day to track wildlife again. Here, you become part of nature – right in the middle of it.

    The next morning, you have a choice:
    Explore the park again in the cool morning hours when the animals are most active – or continue your adventure and head to your next horse ranch, where new experiences await.

    Currently included in the price:
    1 night, including breakfast & dinner

  • Exclusivity, Passion & Equestrian Spirit

    Your next destination is truly special: a German-run family farm with a safari lodge near Otavi – authentic, warm, and with a deep passion for horses. With only 16 stylishly decorated rooms, the farm is a true gem for those who value personal, genuine, and lovingly curated experiences. Here, you are not just guests – you are part of the family.

    The true heart of the farm, however, beats in the stables. The owners devote themselves to their horses with dedication that you feel immediately. The horses are trained in the English riding style and ridden with high-quality trail saddles to ensure maximum comfort for both rider and horse. A carefully planned training and rest program ensures that the horses are not only fit but also balanced and happy. Their health is always the top priority: a balanced diet, targeted supplements, and regular check-ups by farriers and equine dentists – every hoof and tooth is carefully examined every eight weeks.

    This level of care and attention to detail is by no means standard in Namibia – and precisely why this lodge deserves its place in our program.

    Your exclusive farm package includes three nights in a luxury room overlooking the watering hole, where in the evenings you may see antelopes, zebras, or giraffes coming to drink. In addition, we have prepared a tailor-made riding program – perfectly matched to your equestrian skills:

    Your experiences include:

    • 2 extended rides (adapted to your skill level)

    • 1 unforgettable bush breakfast ride at dawn

    • 1 guided hiking trail through the vast savannah

    • 1 safari drive in an open 4x4 vehicle

    Of course, your stay can be extended according to your wishes – with additional rides, external safaris, or special farm activities that bring you even closer to Namibia.

    Currently included in the price:

    • 3 nights, including breakfast & dinner

    • 2 long rides for 2 people

    • 1 bush breakfast ride

    • 1 guided hiking trail

  • Luxury Meets Wilderness

    Didn’t spot any leopards in Etosha? Don’t worry – here you have the unique opportunity to observe these fascinating predators up close. In this private, exclusive game reserve, the leopards roam completely free, but wear discreet GPS collars that allow them to be located and tracked. The animals are accustomed to vehicles and can be observed calmly from a respectful distance – an experience that leaves a lasting impression. When a leopard silently steps out of the golden grass and fixes its gaze on you, the world seems to hold its breath.

    Your camp is as extraordinary as the experiences outside: spacious chalets made of natural stone, wood, and canvas blend harmoniously with the surroundings. Each has been freshly renovated and offers panoramic views of the bush, many with direct sightlines to the watering hole, where antelopes, warthogs, and curious birds frequently appear.

    Between your activities, enjoy relaxation at the highest level:

    • Take a refreshing dip in the pool

    • Have a drink served in the shade of acacias

    • Retreat to your private veranda to listen to the sounds of the wilderness – the chirping of crickets, the howls of hyenas, and the gentle wind rustling through the grass

    Evenings are magical:
    In the open-air restaurant, under the African starry sky, enjoy a gourmet dinner combining modern cuisine with regional flavors. Fine wines and the crackle of the campfire create an unforgettable atmosphere.

    Here, you experience Namibia at its most exclusive – wild, elegant, and deeply connected to nature.

  • Highlight: Luxury Lodge & Safari on Horseback

    On day 18, your journey reaches its grand finale – and it’s spectacular! After approximately 220 kilometers of travel, you will arrive at an exquisite luxury lodge, set in a vast landscape where comfort, elegance, and nature merge into a perfect experience. Here, first-class service, fine cuisine, and authentic African safari feeling come together at the highest level.

    The lodge offers everything your heart could desire: a beautiful pool, a stylish spa, tennis courts, nature and sundowner drives, hiking tours – even a cozy bowling alley and an oversized chess game in the garden. Every moment here feels like a small slice of luxury in the heart of the bush.

    But the true highlight awaits in the stables – a place radiating passion, perfection, and dedication.
    The stables are run by a German expatriate who devotes herself to the welfare of her horses and the safety of her riders with unwavering commitment. Each horse receives individual attention, carefully tailored training, and the best possible care – from regular farrier visits to a balanced diet. This is noticeable from the very first moment: the horses are balanced, motivated, and full of trust.

    Your personal riding adventure begins the next morning:
    A roughly three-hour safari ride, during which you encounter giraffes, zebras, and gnus in their natural environment – all from the saddle. No engines, no noise – just the soft breathing of the horses and the rustle of the wind in the tall grass. An unforgettable experience.

    The rest of the day is entirely yours: relax by the pool, indulge in the spa, or enjoy an exquisite dinner by candlelight with a glass of South African wine.

    This lodge is our personal recommendation for anyone wishing to experience luxury, horseback riding, and authentic safari adventures in perfect harmony.

    2 nights, including dinner & breakfast
