Welcome to Lapa Lange
This haven in nature is located 35 kilometres along the M29 road on the way to Gochas on the edge of the Kalahari. It has sleeping facilities for 21 guests in en suite self catering units as well as en suite rooms which offer a dinner, bed and breakfast service.

Camping facilities are also available on the lawn or around the water hole. Lapa Lange's restaurant offers uniquely Namibian country style cuisine and can also serve a la carte meals when required.

Owners, Piet and Ems de Lange, however prefer to introduce visitors to the traditional camp fire experience serving potjiekos and lapa barbeques.
This offers a special treat to tourists unfamiliar with this well loved Namibian cooking experience. According to the De Langes their whole philosophy in the operation of Lapa Lange is based on the principle of Namibian "Gemutlichkeit".

Lapa Lange has its own take on the so called Big Eight: beer, braaivleis, biltong, boeretroos (coffee) big fires, black diamond (karakul), boere music and beautiful black ladies in traditional attire.
After a feast or a long relaxing walk the rock pool is the ideal place to cool off and wash away any bit of remaining stress.

Visitors to Lapa Lange can enjoy a wide range of activities that include walks in the game camp, a game drive or merely relaxing next to the water hole and watching a variety of game come to drink. Twenty different species of game are found on the 1 500 hectare of the lodge.

The ideal get away for any nature lover. You can choose either camping around the water hole or sit and relax at the lapa. Shower, toilet, DSTV as well as braai facilities are available. The ideal place for tour groups who wants to visit during daytime.

Conference rooms available for business partners. You can travel by own vehicle through wild or can be taken on a day trip to see game reserve.
There are over 17 different species of wild game to see. Across lapa is a dam for fishing. A visit to Lange Lapa is something to remember - try it and experience the peace and quiet of nature.

Lapa Lange Facilities
There are 5 self catering chalets with two double bed rooms. Fully suited with barbeque's. We are also planning to build 18 more bungalows. We constructed a pool bar over a waterhole that gives an extended view of the surroundings, animals and uniquely arranged gardens.

Preparations have been made for info and conference centers able to hold 60 persons. We are also busy with a camping area which has private restrooms. In addition there's a restaurant, bar, fully outfitted kitchen with a cool room and freezer.

We are also planning a Eco-Culture farm where tourists can observe the following:
· The cultural group of our region is the Nama and are a very unique culture. There will be on hand in depth experience into their primitive culture.
· The Hoodia is a plant that can also be seen on the resort that was used by the 'bushmen' for various uses and is used today for medical and diet products.
· We have perfect sunsets and clear night skies for those interested in astrology. We plan to setup telescopes for those who want to study the 'Southern Cross' (found in this region).
· The farm right next to Lapa-Lange has red-dunes for camping and buggy-rides
· The well known anthills on the farm is really fascinating and we will like to share the whole build of these anthills with our tourists. So come take an outing with us on our “Ant trial”.
We provide a wide variety menu and all food served is organic. We believe that Lapa-Lange really has the potential to become a big tourist attraction. We are really proud of the lodge and we believe it's a oasis in the southern region.
