Namibia: News from Midgard Lodge

News from Midgard Lodge

Midgard Taste Festival

The first Midgard Taste Festival was a huge success and exceeded all expectations. A multitude of guests travelled from afar to experience this unique sensory experience.  The location with its beautiful scenery, tantalizing food and multiple, talented music acts did not disappoint.
The day started off with an unforgettable rugby match. The comradery between all fellow rugby supporters was not only felt, but visible to all in the Jameson man-cave. Everyone was cheering on their favourite team, the “bokke”, and the fans could be heard way into to Namibian bush.
Local artists, including Ray, Diolini and Chris B ensured that the spirit stayed at an all time high with their exceptional musical performances. After the rugby victory, many enjoyed a refreshing dip in the crystal clear blue swimming pools, indulged in champagne and a variety of wine tasting.
As lunch hour struck,  guests got together in the food court to enjoy a huge variety of delicacies, including vegan wraps, infused popsicles, kebabs and an assortment of traditional Namibian dishes, to name but a few.
The highlight of the festival was the amazing performance given by the popular band Freshly Ground,  whose performance saw their fans dancing into the sunset as the evening vibe began.
After all enjoyed a fantastic day at the Midgard Taste Festival, the comfortable accommodation was calling.  A good nights rest in either the beautiful rooms, trains or tents were made available.
Breakfast was a scrumptious affair and was presented in the unique setting of the newly launched train accommodation area.  The last couple of hours was enjoyed in this beautiful, tranquil setting before the guests had to say “good bye” and head home.

We look forward to hosting this event again in 2020!  Date to be confirmed as soon as possible.

Namibia: Avis Dam in Windhoek 2016 drought video | Эвис Дэм Намибия

The Avis Dam is a dam outside of Windhoek, Namibia. It was built in 1933 by the South West Africa Administration. The dam overflowed for the first time during April 1934 floods. Avis has since exceeded 75% of its capacity during only four rainy seasons, the last one was in March 1997.
The Avis Dam area was leased from the Windhoek Municipality first in 1997 for one year and on 19.04.2000 Friends of Avis (a subgroup of Greenspace) signed a 30 year lease with the Municipality. In terms of this lease agreement a management plan was drawn up by which the Avis Dam area is managed today.











Friends of Avis' primary aim is to preserve the Avis dam area in its natural state, rehabilitating damaged areas and ensuring it stays safe and crime free so that visitors can relax and enjoy nature in one of Windhoek’s main recreational green space areas.
