Only a three hour drive from Hosea Kutako International Airport, it offers a typical Kalahari savannah landscape with red dunes and majestic shepherd's and camel thorn trees complimenting the breathtaking surroundings. The ranch covers an area in excess of 15 000 hectares, and is located at the corner where three countries meet... Namibia, South Africa and Botswana… right in the heart of the Kalahari Desert. A place of beauty and romance alike, governed by "skillful Bushmen and ferocious Kalahari Lions". The Kalahari is a legendary place of solitude, savannah like plains, golden sand dunes and an abundance of wildlife.These sceneries crowned with spectacular sunsets promise every visitor a taste of Africa at its finest. The Kalahari Desert is a paradise for game, for Springbok, Oryx, Impala, Zebra, Wildebeest, Hartebeest, Giraffe and Ostrich, and for numerous other African game adapted to the life in the desert.

At the end of each hunting day, amidst the companionship of a campfire, you will relive the joys of the day. These times are often the most memorable as we share hunting experiences and stories. Within this Garden of Eden, the ranch awaits the –hunting or photo – shooting individualists who long for and enjoy the beauty and the stillness of the desert, the waves of the dunes and the changing play of colors with open eyes and ready hearts.
The lodge is located close to the Botswana border where one can frequently hear the Kalahari lions roar at night! Hospitality is of paramount importance. Hosts join their guests for meals. Visitors will enjoy the Namibian specialties, served with fresh, home-grown vegetables and salads from the kitchen garden .Home-made bread, honey, jam and sausages give visitors a good start to the day. Relaxing conversation during meals with the hosts will be informative and enable visitors to learn more about the country and its people.
You will find people are truly unique and extremely hospitable people, always intent on making you feel at home and part of the family. Rumor has it that the hospitality in the people in the Kalahari was due to the fact they used to be so far and isolated from society in the old days, hence they found any visitor to their paradise as good and as welcome as rain. A legend and tradition that is upheld to this day by these wonderful people and beautiful country.
A brand new super luxury lodge is currently being built on this property and it should be completed by July 2011. The very secluded and private hunting lodge will offer generously sized bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. A patio overlooking the Kalahari landscape,a fire pit and hottub s always a welcome sight for visitors. The pictures speak for themselves!
Hunting
A hunter’s paradise and wildlife haven, unlike any other hunting area in Southern Africa! Hunting in the Kalahari, is extraordinary and beyond all expectations. The Kalahari Desert is unique and different from any other experience you've every had. It's a desert that's alive and that brings the fullness of life in a special way to you. The wide variety of game adapted to these harsh conditions, thrives and excels in their beauty. With the herds of Oryx, Hartebeest, Springbok, Steenbok, Hartman Zebra or Blesbuck that roam freely across the 40 000 areas, superb trophies can be seen here all year around. The hunting season opens in February and closes at the end of November, although the best period is from April to September.
