Hiking:
From the house down the hill to the house-dam, then into the mountains: a trail that
beckons for a walk, perhaps before breakfast or after supper.
In the mountains we have marked hiking trails, so that hiking up to 2 hours duration
can be done.
Drives on the farm - Adventurous drives of 3 to 4 hours duration
Henno Martin Drive
Over mountains and valleys we drive in our 4x4- vehicle deep down into the rivers of the
Nausgomab and the Kuiseb. We observe plants, trees and shrubs, that have developed
special strategies to survive the long droughts. >From the gorges of the rivers our way
ascends into the mountains and a breathtaking sight far into the Namib awaits us.
A short distance along the Baaiweg (the very old connection from the highlands to the
coast), then we arrive at the well preserved second dwelling of Dr. Henno Martin and
Dr. Korn. Here we have the opportunity to reconstruct their ways of living and survival
with hunting-methods taken over from the native inhabitants. We visit their water spots
and also their bitter-water source, where they often hunted successfully.
Kuiseb Drive
We drive with 4x4- vehicles on adventurous tracks down to the gorges of the Kuiseb river.
We encounter Oryx, Springbok and Mountain Zebras. Bird lovers also get their due, as
Niedersachsen is the haven of a large number of bird species. Our drive takes us up to
the Kuiseb-Canyon, through the riverbed and up again into mountain regions, homewards
for a sundowners and dinner.
Our tours take place in the afternoon to give you the chance to take particularly good
photos of the different sceneries in the setting sun.
