Your own fire, your own stone bathroom and nobody next door. Two private campsites on a family farm in the Khomas Hochland, with marked trails and quiet horses.
“Some of the best facilities on our trip in Namibia.” Leonie B, Google review
Southwest on the C26, half of it tarred. Leave town after lunch and the fire is going before sunset. Then choose how to spend tomorrow.
They sit 1.5 km from the farmhouse above the Hoanob riverbed, and you share yours with nobody.

We do not keep bikes on the farm. Mannie's Bike Mecca in Windhoek rents out mountain bikes.
Heiko has bred sport horses on Claratal for forty years, mainly Trakehners. Most of the riding horses competed in dressage, showjumping or eventing. They are calm and well behaved, good teachers for children and adults.

Groups of one to four riders, with at most two beginners. Riders up to 95 kg, to protect the horses.
The farm hosts bird ringing and a leopard and cheetah research project. Guests can sometimes join the researchers in the field.
Dams, riverbed and mountain give very different habitats. Bring binoculars.
Leopards here wear GPS collars for a study run from Ljubljana and Berlin.
After good rain the lilies flower for a short while, usually early in the year.
“Close to Windhoek, 30 minute drive, with two camping spots with each having their own bathroom. It is very private.”
“Friendly hosts, great campsites with shade, nice and clean private ablutions and a spectacular view. The trails perfectly marked.”
“The perfect start for a trip to Namibia. Close to Windhoek and yet very wild and in beautiful nature with lots of animals, great rides.”
Open the calendar for campsite 1 or 2, choose your nights or your braai day, and send the request.
We confirm with an invoice adjusted for your group size and children. The deposit secures the booking.
Braai places are ready from 11:00, campsites after lunch. On your last day the site is yours until 10:00.
The Freyer family farms 16,000 hectares here. Ekki Freyer senior began breeding Bonsmara cattle in 1976 and his son Heiko runs the herd today. Annette takes the rides out.
