Gondwana Kalahari Park
The Kalahari – green acacias and yellow grass on the red sand of the Kalahari dunes which extend over hundreds of kilometres. Gondwana Kalahari Park, an area of 100 km²,
will leave you with unforgettable impressions of the largest continuous stretch of sand on earth.
Animals like Springbok, Gemsbok and Ostrich as well as Jackal, Hare and

Porcupine inhabit the dunes and dune valleys. Take pictures of the Kori bustard, the largest flying bird of all, and of huge colonies of weaver birds’ nests taking up whole trees. Or just relax in the shade of palm trees at the swimming pool.

Please note: Activities can only be booked on site, subject to availability. Prices may vary.

Morning Drive or Sundowner Drive (about 3 hours)
This is the perfect way of getting acquainted with the Kalahari Desert. The colourful display of dunes, grass and sky unfolds in its most glorious splendour just after sunrise and before sunset.

Hiking Trails (2 to 4 hours)
Explore the Kalahari on foot and on your own initiative. A trail map is available at the reception.

Day-Trips
The nearby village of Stampriet (a 40-minute drive) on the seasonal Auob River has artesian springs at its disposal. At the sight of the large irrigated fields you might feel transported to South Africa’s Cape region. Visit the old church and have coffee at the 'Stampriet Historical Guest House'.

The upper Fish River is dammed up by Hardap Dam north of Mariental (a 40-minute drive). The dam affords magnificent views across the fields and the little town of Mariental right up to the 'Weißrand' escarpment in the east. Visitors who arrive in their own car can watch game and many types of birds in the nature reserve south of the dam.
