As one of the best safari lodges in Namibia, we have spent over 50 years under the stewardship of one family. We are now the proud custodians of a fragile remaining population of black rhino, which join a further 40 protected species across a dazzling 35,000 hectares.
Your stay at our namibia luxury lodges enables us to continue protecting this unique slice of nature. Let us show you around.

Tracking Black Rhino the old-school way
No screens. No shortcuts. Just boots, bush, and a whole lot of patience.
We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve been doing to protect the vulnerable black rhino on our reserve since becoming part of the Black Rhino Custodianship. And because of this involvement, we can offer something truly special: old-school tracking that turns our guests into real explorers.
Read the signs. Follow the spoor. Feel your heartbeat quicken when the bush goes quiet.
You’ll leave with more than a story. You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of just how complex (and amazing) this animal really is.
Come and track with us. The rhinos are worth it.
