The Lodge is situated in the north western part of Namibia, close
to the Hoanib river, on the southern side of Kaokoveld.
A gab in the mountains gives access to the valley basin on Sesfontein
(six fountains), where luch green gardens give the landscape its
special oasis character.
In 1896, the government of what was then German South-West Africa
built the Fort Sesfontein as control point for keeping in check
cattle disease, arms smuggling and illegal hunting of big animals.
The fort was abandoned in 1914 and only ruins and a small army-cemetery
still stood witness to the former German presence in Sesfontein.
Fort Sesfontein is the gateway to Kaokoveld, an area of some 50
000km between the Hoanib and Cunene, the frontier river to Angola.
In the afternoon you can take part on a scenic drive - untouched
landscape structures, such as sandy desert and bizarre rock forms,
vegetation and wild animals - elephants, giraffes, zebras. Oryx
antelopes, ostriches - can be discovered in their natural habitat
beyond the reaches of civilization.
Fort Sesfontein Accommodation
You can expect today’s modern facilities, i. e. the
standard of the bathrooms, the supply of warm water from solar cells,
