Düsternbrook Guest Farm Tour

Düsternbrook Guest Farm

Düsternbrook Farm is one of the most popular places to see wildlife close to Windhoek. The Guest Farm, with its beautiful old colonial-style farmhouse, is situated 50 km northwest of Windhoek. It is the oldest establishment of its kind in Namibia and is set high on a riverbank, overlooking the unspoiled, breathtaking surrounding scenery.

Düsternbrook is open year-round, not only for overnight guests but also for day visitors. An attractive, varied, and interesting combination of activities, including leopard and cheetah drives, game drives, walking trails, bird-watching, horse riding, and scenic mountain drives, can be chosen from.

Mountaineering to the "Khomas-Eck" (1,850 m elevation) is a day tour for adventurers in the rough and wildly romantic landscape of the Khomas Highlands.

Set on a vast private reserve, Düsternbrook is widely known for its close connection to nature. The farm’s rugged surroundings are home to an impressive variety of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, oryx, kudus, wildebeests, and many other species that roam freely across the property. Guests often find that simply relaxing on the terrace provides more wildlife viewing than many guided safaris, as animals frequently wander near the lodge’s viewpoint.

For those seeking adventure, the farm offers several memorable activities. The popular Leopard and Cheetah Drive is a highlight, giving visitors the chance to observe big cats in a responsible and safe environment. Guided game drives, walking trails, and horseback riding add to the immersive nature experience, making it easy for guests to explore the diverse terrain that stretches across hills, valleys, and riverbeds.

Düsternbrook Guest Farm is also rich in history. Established in the early 1900s, it retains much of its original architectural charm. The main lodge and rooms feature vintage decor that reflects the spirit of early Namibian farm life, while still offering the comfort expected by today’s travelers. Whether staying in a rustic room, a safari-style tent, or a luxurious suite, guests are treated to warm hospitality and hearty home-cooked meals.

What truly sets Düsternbrook apart is its peaceful atmosphere. Far removed from the noise of the city, it invites guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature. It’s an ideal destination for travelers seeking authentic experiences—whether they are wildlife lovers, photographers, adventure seekers, or simply in need of a serene getaway.

Düsternbrook Guest Farm is more than just a place to stay; it is a gateway to Namibia’s soul, offering moments of quiet beauty and lasting memories.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served on request for day visitors.
