Zebra River Lodge has numerous different room options, all spacious with en suite bathrooms and each decorated with the same homely comfort as the rest of the farmhouse. A large shady verandah overlooks a large shady garden and plunge pool and the canyons and mountains beyond.
It’s unpretentious and practical. As a nature lover, you’ll really feel at home here. Your hosts will ensure it with home-cooked meals, warm hospitality and a generous offering of activities from which to choose.
The solitude and quiet are the centre of attention here, whether by day as the sun beats down or by night as the brilliant night skies twinkle. It’s a place to rest, relax and rejuvenate your soul. The hiking trails lead you to explore nature, the plateaus and canyons and the spectacular wide open spaces. If you’re into geology, planetology or archaeology you’ll be astounded. If you aren’t, you’ll be left in awe all the same for the sheer beauty and absolute tranquillity.

Hiking and exploring are the main pursuits at Zebra River Lodge and there are several excellent trails that take in the steep canyons, beautiful views and luxurious natural springs. Bird watching is good and the geology and paleontology of the area are fascinating including a visit to see some fossils. A large telescope is brought out on clear nights, which amounts to most evenings.
Using Zebra River Lodge as a base, regular visitors often stay for up to two weeks and explore the nearby Sossusvlei dunes and Sesriem Canyon, the Naukluft Mountains and the southern Namib Desert.
Sit watching over the waterhole, you’ll likely see zebra, kudu, gemsbok and other antelopes as well as a variety of bird species. Relaxation here is in itself and activity and one you’ll be happy to partake in.
