Wüstenquell will reopen
Renovations well underway
Elephant Rock, Eagle's Rock, the Skull and the Wave are just a few of the extraordinary rock formations guests can enjoy while staying at Wüstenquell Conservation Farm.
Wüstenquell Conservation Farm will reopen in 2024, ready to welcome Namibian and international visitors to discover and explore the amazing granite sculptures created by nature.
Extraordinary rock formations, fantastic views, San rock art, unique fauna and flora with quiver trees and rare lithops make Wüstenquell Conservation Farm an exceptional experience.
The facilities at Wüstenquell Conservation Farm include a reception area, beer garden, restaurant, bar and pool. Activities include hiking trails, scenic sunset drives and guided tours to the rock formations and San rock art.
Directly bordering the Namib Naukluft Park, Wüstenquell is an excellent stop-over from or to Swakopmund.
Wüstenquell Conservation Farm is situated about 105 km east of Swakopmund, off the C28 road.
Natural wonders
Elephant Rock, Eagle’s Rock, the Skull, and the Wave are just a few of the extraordinary rock formations at Wüstenquell Conservation Farm.
The incredible granite sculptures created by nature are aged at about 550 million years, and develop in areas where water and humidity has carved into the rock surface, loosening crystalline grains of the granite structure.
Once formed, these formations develop into impressive arches and caverns of several cubic meters. The second weathering factor at Wüstenquell Conservation Farm is wind corrosion, the abrasive action of solid materials like silica transported by the wind against the hard granite surface.
Renovations underway
There are several great accommodation options, from air-conditioned lodge rooms with a private veranda, a family rondawel, the Zebra Outpost, mountain chalets and campsites.
The Lodge
Five double or twin air-conditioned rooms with en-suite bathrooms are available at the main lodge. Each room has its own private veranda.
The Rondawel
The self-catering rondawel is located near the main lodge and has air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom. It can sleep a family of four and has a small kitchenette with a fridge, washing area and outdoor braai.
The Zebra Outpost
The Zebra Outpost is situated on the plains, overlooking Namib Naukluft Park. It provides the perfect base for families or large groups to explore the area, as well as the amazing granite sculptures found here. The Zebra Outpost is a self-catering house with two en-suite bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and an outdoor braai area.
The mountain chalets
Two exclusive mountain chalets are perched on the granite outcrops, offering spectacular views of Namib Naukluft Park. Each chalet sleeps two people and has an en-suite bathroom, deck, braai area and plunge pool.
The campsites
Surrounded by an overwhelming natural spectacle and remotely located in the desert, our two campsites are about three km from the main lodge and are perfect for a camping adventure. Water, showers, shade and a fire pit are provided.
