The newest member of The Portfolio, Goibib Mountain Lodge!
Goibib is your guest farm experience in the heart of the great Karas Mountains.
The south of Namibia is known for its wide-open vistas and seemingly endless bright blue skies, and Goibib Mountain Lodge is no exception.
Goibib is the perfect base to explore the wonders of the far south of Namibia, including the world famous Fish River Canyon and adjoining Ai-Ais hot springs, as well as the Brukkaros Mountain, a volcanic caldera 100 kilometers north-northwest of Keetmanshoop, where a hiking trail will lead you to the ridge of the mountain, and the abandoned solar observatory that was constructed in 1926.
Other must-see highlights in this area include the Quiver Tree Forest, where about 250 specimens of this indigenous plant, named for the fact that the San people historically used the hollowed-out branches to store their arrows, and the Giant’s Playground, an exposed dolerite formation estimated to be 160 million years old, that has the appearance of massive toy building blocks having been stacked in piles.
One of Goibib Mountain Lodge’s unique features is that it is located on a working farm, with a breeding herd of Nguni cattle - highly sought after the world over for their unique pelts, where each animal’s colouration and pattern is one-of-a-kind (much like a fingerprint).
Goibib Mountain Lodge is a tranquil hideaway in the heart of the Great Karas Mountains in Southern Namibia, and an extremely easy drive from either north or south along the Windhoek to Cape Town main road.
Simply take the B1 and drive until you see the sign on the west side of the road, between Grunau and Keetmanshoop!
Rather than being pursued by the Big Five or chased by stampeding herds of animals, bring your camera and capture all things great and small macro-photography brings the little things to light - or explore the night life with fluorescent light and discover the nocturnal world around us.
The Lodge has much to offer but for Guests with the time, and wishing to explore the local region there is also much to explore within a relatively short distance from the Lodge - mostly within a two hour drive.
Goibib Mountain Lodge offers its guests a dream come true holiday with the time to peacefully view many species of antelope and other wildlife that inhabit the veld. The peace and tranquility is enthralling and guests quickly realise that this is pristine nature at its finest. An Added Bonus Is That the region is malaria-free.
