The Guest
farm with the Guesthouse and Camp site, located between
Windhoek and Etosha National Park, is an ideal starting

fossilized Dinosaur’s tracks, you will find

in 2003. It
is located in the middle of lush vegetation and surrounded
by many big trees Each guest-room has its own terrace
with a beautiful view of the impressive mountain scenery
and the games crossing along our two lakes.

beautiful landscape - especially in the evening -
watching the fantastic sunset and taking a "Sundowner".
For
our camping - guests
there is a camping
site with five
camp places available, between big trees giving pleasant
shadow.
Each camping
ground has its own drinking water facility and fireplace;
and of course you can use the barbecue place. You
may spend your days relaxing in the shadow of the
acacia-trees and your evenings sitting at the campfire
enjoying the atmospheric starry sky of Namibia.
In almost
all guidebooks and other travel brochures you will
find information about our Guest farm; mentioning
the Dinosaur footprints together with our Guesthouse
and Camp site.
All over
the world you will find only a few dozen of these
footprints, but the most impressive finding place
is on our farm in the region of >Otjihaenamaparero
< under legal protection - as all fossils are.

daytrippers visiting our dinotracks

The
Mount Etjo
itself forms a narrow plateau of 16 km length and
a maximum width of 3 km. The highest point is 2086
m above sea level. The upper plateau of the Etjo is
formed by approx. 70 m of sandstone. The ridge forms
a watershed. Rain falling on the southern Etjo flows
into the “Omaruru” river, a so-called
dry river which flows to the west, while water from
the north-eastern parts of Etjo flows into the “Omatako”,
flowing to the east.
The river
“Omaruru” crossing our Guest farm invites
you to beautiful walking tours. Along the Omaruru-river
you will find the opportunity of guided walking tours
enjoying the fascinating mountain scenery. Here, all
over the year, you can find a pleasant dry climate.
