Architecture

Unwind in the open-air shower and let the warm water wash away your worries as you take in the breathtaking views of the Namib desert. The glass walls of your room provide a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, while a wide veranda offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy the tranquility of nature.

KuanguKuangu is snugged away behind the mountain about 1km to the northwest of the main building. The bedroom, with a spectacular view to the west and southwest, is an oasis of quietness and inspiration.

Stargazing

The Namib desert is reputedly the best place in Southern Africa to observe the stars. KuanguKuangu comes from ‘Omukuangukuangu’, a word by the Ovaherero people, meaning the milky way

In the Area

Ubib Grotto – (Prehistoric Rock Paintings)

This remarkable archaeological site is called Ubib Grotto, named after the farm on which it is located. 

The pre-historic paintings in this cave are estimated as more than 2,000 years old, but no oral or written history goes that far back that tells us about their purpose.

Explore the paintings on the wall, and you can journey back in time and imagine for yourself what may have happened in this grotto high up in the mountains.
