Getting here & planning
Before you set off
Namibia is a country you drive yourself. What you need to know is here — and what is still missing is marked as such.
The way to the farm
The exact route from Windhoek, the road classes (tarred up to where, gravel after that), a realistic driving time and the last fuel stop before the farm must be confirmed by the operation. So far only the straight-line distance of 81 kilometres west is known and computed.
Whether a four-wheel drive is required or a car with raised ground clearance will do depends on the state of the final kilometres. This is missing and should not be guessed — it concerns guest safety.
Arrival times, gate closing and the procedure for late arrival need to be set.
Airport transfer is included in the seven-night package and in the hunting and riding packages. Price and procedure for a separately booked transfer are still open.
Emergency contact, mobile coverage along the route and the nearest medical care need to be added.

Temperatures, rainfall and typical conditions by season in the Kaan river valley. No reliable climate figures for this location are available; general Namibia figures would be misleading for a highland valley at 1,100 metres.

Frequent questions
Is there power and Wi-Fi around the clock?
Power comes entirely from the farm’s own photovoltaic systems, and the rooms have Wi-Fi.
Where does the water come from?
From the farm’s own groundwater source with eight access points; three of them feed the troughs.
From what age can children join a ride?
Minimum ages for rides, hunting accompaniment and drives — safety-relevant, therefore to be confirmed by the operation.
Can special diets be catered for?
Which dietary requirements the kitchen can reliably serve needs clarifying — with own production and a long supply route this is not a given.
Are dogs allowed?
Whether dogs may be brought needs to be clarified.
