Zebra River Lodge is an old original farmhouse, situated in
12 500 hectares of dramatic scenery, deep in the Tsaris Mountains
of southern Namibia. The Lodge has accommodated guests in its special
environment for more than 15 years.
Extensive renovations were undertaken, to bring the lodge up to
modern-day standards without losing the charm, original features
and atmosphere of the old farmhouse.
The solar water heaters make the most of the sun and the new water
hole (which will in time, be floodlit) is attracting more and more
animals and birds as they discover this permanent source of water
in the desert. |
Let the warmth and our Namibian hospitality welcome you to a place of
light and airy spaces on the slopes of the Zebra River Canyon in the Tsaris
Mountains.
Zebra River Lodge and its Canyon is a heaven for geologists, archaeologists
and palaeontologists, hikers and birders, as well as for those who just
want peace and quiet.
We invite you to relax under an azure-blue sky and to feast your senses
on our tranquil surroundings where you can listen to the silence of nature.
Accommodation at Zebra River Lodge consists of 13 double or triple rooms,
all with en suite facilities. We generate our own electricity at the lodge.
Although there are no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms, coffee,
tea, water and homemade cookies are always available in the foyer.
The crystal clear, delicious water at the zebra river lodge comes from
deep underground and can be drunk at all times. Interior: farm style with
a touch of class!
Zebra River Lodge sits in the valley alongside the Zebra River which,
although it is dry most of the year, is home to kudu, warthog, zebra,
jackals and many more, all of which can be seen from the lodge veranda
when they visit the water hole.
• Geology: The Zebra River Lodge is of international
interest as it has the oldest fossils of stromatolites and namacalatus
(the very first living organisms with a shell) yet discovered anywhere
in the world. Leading geologists from all over the world visit us regularly
to explore the terrain and document their discoveries.
• Hiking: There are several hiking trails in the
mountains surrounding the lodge, varying in length from one hour to all
day. Maps and lunch packs are provided and guided walks are available.
• Birding: The lodge has a bird list of 118 species
including Verreauxs (Black) Eagle, Pygmy Falcon, Auger Buzzard, Herero
Chat and Rüppell’s Korhaan. A resident at the lodge can help
with identification and guided bird walks can be arranged.
• At the lodge we also offer 4x4 trails, sun downer drives and trips
to a spring where you can relax under huge trees next to the crystal clear
water.
• Horse riding: We hope to provide guided horse
treks at certain times of the year.
