Feeling at home while on vacation
Is like creating a personal haven in an unfamiliar place, where every moment resonates with comfort and a sense of belonging. As a family run lodge, we bring a personal touch, infusing each interaction with a sense of care and commitment that resonates through generations.
The Schmitt family’s journey from Germany to Namibia in 1990, just before the country’s independence, is a testament to their pioneering spirit. Starting with a livestock farm, they transformed it into a small wildlife sanctuary with lodge, where flora and fauna are conserved, providing a haven for biodiversity and environmental balance.
