Conservation at Kifaru

The name ‘Kifaru’ means ‘Rhino’ in Swahili and the conservation of these critically endangered animals is at the heart of the Kifaru ethos, with the majority of the revenue generated by the lodge going directly towards Rhino Momma and their conservation efforts.

The Rhino Momma Project is dedicated to the care and repopulation of the Rhino species in Southern Africa. In order to achieve these goals we routinely dehorn our rhinos to reduce the risk of poaching. Kifaru Luxury Lodge is the proud lodge representative of the program.

By visiting the lodge and experiencing the reserve, visitors are offered a very real experience of the positive and tangible impact that tourism can have on the conservation efforts of these incredible animals in Namibia.

Namibia: Reservation Destination news: Huab, Kifaru and Otjiwa

Reservation Destination

#Namibia #ReservationDestination #Kifaru

Huab & Kifaru are open and Otjiwa refurbishments

New year, new you, new positive outlooks and we are hugely optimistic that this is the year where we will see a resurgence in international travel, and this optimism is shared by our lodges.

They have not been resting on their laurels, but have been working hard, behind the scenes, to ensure a quality travel experience going forward.

Huab Lodge - OPEN

After a hiatus of nearly 18 months, we are absolutely delighted to announce that Huab Lodge has been sold and the lodge, under its new ownership is up an running!

Deon and Lidia have chosen to re-establish the lodge's working relationship with ResDes.

There has been a rate freeze, and the 2020 rates will be valid for the 2022 tourism season, however there have been changes to the packages and structures and we are re-issuing those rates.

Updated images will be shared as soon as they are available - but they great news is that the fencing along the Huab River has been removed, meaning that the elephants are, again, able to roam the length of the river and have been back to Huab Lodge already!

Otjiwa Refurbishments

Otjiwa Lodge is in the process of doing extensive refurbishments.

The main area at Mountain Lodge has already been completed and is looking stunning!

Mountain Lodge is open and they will be refurbishing one suite at a time, so as to not cause any disruption to clients staying at the lodge - they aim to be completed with the entire Mountain Lodge project by November.

Schalk and his team are currently busy with Eagle's Rest. They are doing a complete rebuild on the main areas and this project will be completed by March.

Eagle's Rest is open to guests, and meals are being served at Mountain Lodge.

As soon as we have updated images, we will share these with you and your teams.

Kifaru Luxury Lodge & Bush Camp

Just before the onset of the Covid pandemic in early 2020, Kifaru Luxury Lodge and Bush Camp opened its doors.

Home to the Rhino Momma Project  Kifaru is more than just a luxury lodge, set in the heart of the Namibian bush. 

Kifaru Luxury Lodge and Bush Camp is closely associated with the Rhino Momma Project, which is a not for profit organization with the sole purpose of helping re-establish rhino populations throughout Southern Africa through translocation of individuals, thus ensuring genetic diversity in future generations.

With the remote location and the abundance of animal and birdlife on the reserve, Kifaru is a destination in its own right, and definitely not a stop-over.
