About Us

The Beyer family has been running the farm “Dornhügel” since 1904. After Namibia's independence in 1990, they started welcoming guests on their farm in 1994. Besides practising cattle breeding, they grew cotton, millet, and maize. Today, the farm raises different cattle breeds, Damara sheep, and Basotho horses – a traditional horse breed from Lesotho.

Besides giraffes, zebras, kudus, eland antelopes, and innumerable warthogs can be seen on Dornhügel. Enjoy a cool sundowner watching the wild game at the waterholes in the evening!
