Your nature haven

Discover the Kalahari 
​

Take time out to explore the vast wilderness that surrounds us. Encounter the small sand-dwelling creatures, unique plant life, and an array of birds, from the industrious sociable weavers with their colossal communal nests to majestic raptors. Marvel at the magnificent antelope species, ranging from the petite steenbok to the graceful gemsbok.

As the day draws to a close, treat yourself to the splendor of breathtaking sunsets that grace our skies. When night falls, gaze up at a celestial canopy adorned with a multitude of stars, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle that you won't find in many places.

Allow the boundless open landscapes and our genuine, welcoming hospitality to whisk away the burdens of daily life. We invite you to relish the expansive vistas, encounter native wildlife, revel in the rich birdlife, and witness mesmerizing sunsets in our unique corner of Africa.

"We are residents of the Kalahari, where freedom is not a concept but a way of life, embedded within us. We breathe it, we feel it, we taste it."

Located in a relatively remote part of South Africa, we hold a special place in our hearts for visitors. To demonstrate our appreciation, we go above and beyond to pamper our guests.

Our offerings include:

• Solar Power: Embracing sustainable energy to preserve our natural surroundings.
• All the chalets share communal outdoor showers and bathrooms.
• Our communal kitchen space is not just a place for cooking; it's a gathering spot where laughter echoes, stories unfold, and friendships are forged. Here, you bring your own ingredients, but we provide the perfect setting for shared experiences. With all the necessary amenities at your disposal, our communal kitchen becomes a place where connections are nurtured, conversations flow freely, and unforgettable moments are born. 
• Outdoor firepit:  Imagine bringing your favorite ingredients to life beneath the dazzling Kalahari sky. Our outdoor braai allows you to be the chef, crafting your own culinary masterpieces. You provide the food, and we provide the unforgettable setting. Embrace the freedom of creating your ideal meal under the open canopy of stars, where the only limit is your imagination. It's a unique and personal dining experience that captures the essence of the Kalahari's untamed beauty.
• Our property features borehole water with a naturally salty taste, adding a unique touch to your Kalahari experience. While this water is perfectly safe for various uses, we encourage guests who prefer water without the distinct taste to bring their own drinking water for their convenience.

Our dedicated team provides daily cleaning services for the chalets, ensuring that your accommodation remains a welcoming and hygienic retreat throughout your stay. So, you can relax and enjoy the Kalahari experience without worrying about tidying up.

Take in the sights and sounds of our bustling farm life, from the grazing cattle to the hardworking farmhands. It's an opportunity to reconnect with the land and experience the genuine essence of farm living in the Kalahari.
