Kalahari Farmhouse Campsite

Kalahari Farmhouse Campsite rests at the fringes of the Kalahari Farmhouse, situated in a grove of palm trees. This campsite offers eight individual sites, each designed to provide a quiet, unobtrusive experience with a deeper connection to nature. Facilities are set up for self-drive travellers and campers, combining a peaceful Kalahari setting with practical comforts. Each campsite includes a BBQ area, power outlets, and electric lighting. Shared ablution facilities are available for guests. The campsite acts as a magnet for smaller wildlife, with frequent sightings of mongooses, ground squirrels, and various bird species. Guests also have access to the main Kalahari Farmhouse facilities, including a swimming pool and a bar.

Guests sleep at one of eight camping sites, situated on clean, cool lawn shaded by palm trees, offering an idyllic rural ambience. Each pitch is optimised to accommodate either one large camper van or two standard 4x4 SUV vehicles equipped with rooftop tents. The sites provide power points and electric lighting, with shared ablution facilities available. The peaceful environment is designed to lull guests into a tranquil slumber as night falls.

Each campsite comes with barbeque facilities for guests to prepare their own meals. Barbeque packs are available for purchase at reception if ordered before 10:00 AM. Ice and wood are also available at reception for an additional cost. Guests have access to the main Kalahari Farmhouse’s restaurant and bar. The Self-Sufficiency Centre adjacent to the Kalahari Farmhouse produces a variety of produce for the Gondwana Collection, and guests are welcome to visit its butchery and greenhouses. This centre supplies much of the meat for the Gondwana Lodges.

Kalahari Farmhouse Campsite is located in Stampriet, 53 km northeast of Mariental in the Hardap Region of Namibia, within the Kalahari area. It is easily accessible along the tar road on the outskirts of Stampriet. The site is part of the Kalahari Farmhouse property, which is blessed with artesian water, allowing for lush gardens and the Self-Sufficiency Centre. The location provides an oasis in the heart of the desert. For further activities, the Kalahari Anib Lodge is 30 km away.

This campsite suits self-drive travellers and campers seeking a peaceful retreat in the Kalahari. It is ideal for those who appreciate direct access to nature and wish to experience a rural ambience. Families are welcome, with children up to 5 years old staying free of charge, and those aged 6 to 13 years charged 50 per cent of the camping rate. Guests who enjoy outdoor cooking, with BBQ facilities provided, will find the campsite appealing. It also suits those interested in agricultural practices, with visits to the Self-Sufficiency Centre’s butchery and greenhouses available. Individuals looking for a base to explore the wider Kalahari, with activities available at the nearby Kalahari Anib Lodge, would find this campsite suitable.
