Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to get to Kalahari Farmhouse from Windhoek, and is it worth the journey?

We always recommend flying into Windhoek Hosea Kutako International Airport and then arranging a private transfer or a scenic light aircraft flight directly to the lodge's airstrip. The drive is long but offers incredible desert vistas, and the moment you arrive at the Farmhouse, you'll understand why it's such a special destination. It's an adventure in itself.

Beyond the spa, what unique experiences does Kalahari Farmhouse offer that truly capture the desert's spirit?

While the spa is divine, we truly love the guided nature drives into the Gondwana Kalahari Park, especially at dawn and dusk. You'll encounter oryx, springbok, and maybe even a cheetah, all against the backdrop of those iconic red dunes. The stargazing here is also absolutely sensational, far from any light pollution.

We're considering a trip in July. Is this a good time to visit Kalahari Farmhouse for wildlife viewing and comfortable weather?

July is a fantastic time to visit. The days are pleasantly warm and sunny, perfect for exploring, and the nights are cool and crisp, ideal for enjoying the lodge's cozy atmosphere. While wildlife is more concentrated around water sources during the dry winter months, you'll still have excellent opportunities to spot desert adapted species.

Given its ultra-luxury price point, what can we expect in terms of service and accommodation at Kalahari Farmhouse?

Expect impeccable service and accommodations that blend seamlessly with the desert landscape. The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, with spacious rooms offering stunning views. The staff are attentive without being intrusive, anticipating your needs before you even voice them, which is exactly what we look for in a high-end stay.

Is it safe to explore the surrounding areas independently from Kalahari Farmhouse, or should we always be with a guide?

For your safety and to maximize your experience, we strongly advise sticking to guided activities offered by the lodge. The desert can be unforgiving, and local guides possess invaluable knowledge of the terrain, wildlife, and potential hazards. They ensure you have an incredible and secure adventure.
