Grootberg Lodge is situated on the C40 road, 90kms
from Kamanjab and 23kms from Palmweg. Perched on the rim of the
Grootberg Plateau, the Grootberg Lodge stands sentinel over the
Klip River Valley.
12 000 hectares have been set aside by the Khoadi / Hoas community
for conservation and tourism, and it is through this pristine wilderness
that you meander either on foot or by vehicle to encounter the inhabitants
of this remote biosphere.
Grootberg Lodge is a landmark in Namibia's tourism industry. It
is the first middle-market establishment in the country that is
100% owned by the conservancy.
The European Union funded the project, through the Ministry of Environment
and Tourism's Development Programme. At the same time, the private
sector has been called in to supply the training and management
skills, until the community becomes self-sustainable.
Grootberg Lodge offers a professional service, extremely good food,
well-trained guides and exceptionally good local management in great
surroundings. The local community benefits greatly, thanks to the
revenues generated by the Lodge.
