Waterberg Guesthouse is situated on a 42,000ha
private cattle farm called the Ranch 'Okosongomingo'. It is set
at the foot of the picturesque Waterberg Plateau, itself a natural
halfway stop between Namibia's capital city Windhoek and the country's
most visited tourist attraction, Etosha National Park. The town
of Otjiwarongo is only 63km away and a fly-in safari and transfer
can be arranged to their 1,400m long airstrip.
The guesthouse is situated on the slope of the Small Waterberg.
The original 1930’s manager’s house was converted into
guesthouse.
The traditional African grass-roofed “lapa” next to
the swimming pool offers al fresco dining and a fully stocked ‘honesty
bar’.
Here guests can sit on the wooden deck and watch the floodlit waterhole
as antelope, warthog and the occasional leopard come for a drink,
and in turn, be watched by our resident family of baboons

Activities
Hiking
As the guest farm is located at the foot of Small Waterberg a hike
to the plateau can be organized. It includes a brisk walk to a natural
spring with several lookout points en-route.
'Little Serengeti'
A 1,600ha grassland has been converted from a vast maize field to
provide antelope with a free-roaming site to graze without restriction
or fear of injury from game fences or outside interference. Sundowners
in an open-sided safari vehicle, accompanied by their knowledgeable
game guides, can be arranged.
This tour is often combined with a visit to the CCF's Education
Centre.
Waterberg Plateau Park
On the eastern slope of 'Big Waterberg' is the 'wilderness area'
called Bernabà de la Bat Camp, 21 km from Waterberg Guest
Farm. It is ideal for a day visit. A game viewing drive on top of
the plateau can be arranged with possible sightings (not guaranteed)
of rhino, buffalo, sable and roan antelope.
Location
Traveling on the B1 Between Okahandja and 28km from Otjiwarongo
you will reach the turnoff to the Waterberg Plateau on C22. Travel
a further 30km and you will reach the turn off to the Waterberg
Guesthouse.
