Prepare to feel the Earth's breath, prepare to see the most incredible panoramas of your entire life

Fish on the Kunene River or on the Skeleton Coast, one thing is guarantee: you won't miss fresh meat for supper!

Everything gets special in the middle of the Desert... despite the heat, your golf practice will never be cooler

In real encounters we trust. Himba clans roaming near our lodges are some of the very fews authentic left in the Country

Rolling down the river. Cruise the beautiful Kunene in style: fish, have a romantic lunch on the shore or refresh in our "natural jacuzzi"

Contact with nature will bring you to see the world through a child's eyes

And you will discover the joy of a universal language: dance and music
