experience namibia , feel at home

Welcome home, Kalahari Farmhouse

By Gondwana Collection
June 05, 2025

‘Home is not a place; it's a feeling.’ These words have never felt so true. And, if you visit Kalahari Farmhouse, you will know exactly what I mean.  

 

The lodge’s garden charm, similar to what you would most likely find in a book, urges you to throw off your shoes and lie on the soft grass beneath the shade while resting through the calming breeze, lovely streamlet whispers, and pleasant twitters from birds.

Even from a distance, the atmosphere can be sensed. From a bird's-eye view, the lodge stands out in the Kalahari Desert with its lush greenery, displaying a well-tended oasis of unrushed and undisturbed activity. 

 

The warmth shines from the moment you are welcomed upon arrival and throughout your stay. It radiates through the details in all touches of your chalet, carefully prepared hearty meals, fresh beverages, friendly assistance, and thoughtful care. However, the passion and gestures visible in greetings, smiles, and attention—this is hospitality that stretches beyond service.

More than brimming with coziness, this space in its own world gives you all the room you need to slow down, relax, and savor every moment you have. 

 

But what is a farm without rearing animals and growing crops? In very close proximity to the lodge and part of its day-to-day activity, chickens roam freely, grunts of pigs can be heard, varieties of cured meat such as biltong are produced, and fresh vegetables are grown. This is where goodness grows.

With all these qualities, it won’t be a surprise if you get a little too comfortable and forget that you’re even on a trip away from home in the first place... but we won't judge. 

 

Another remarkable feature is that an abundance of both treasures from time gone by and collector’s items generously adorn the lodge, along with some items in traditionally crafted styles, such as those made from wood, stone, and woven material resembling local homes, people, events, and trends from earlier times.

 

These special elements—telling stories and sharing a peek into mostly “old-fashioned” ways of life and different cultures—create an authentic feel.

The icing on the cake is the curio shop at the lodge and the online store, The Narrative, with souvenirs to take home with you!
