Leopards and cheetahs at Duesternbrook

The guest farm near Windhoek is open year-round. We focus on the indivdual up-market leisure traveller as overnight guest but also on day visitors to enjoy the farm atmosphere, the view and our wildlife activities with the cheetah and leopard experience as a highlight.

We offer you an attractive, varied and interesting combination of activities

• Our main wildlife attraction is called Cats Unlimited: viewing of leopard and cheetah in their natural environment.
  
  
• A (plains) game drive through our private game reserve, Otjihorongo ("Place of the Kudu"), offers you a first-hand impression of Namibian wildlife. The following game can be seen: oryx, kudu, giraffe, Burchell's zebra, waterbuck, warthog, cape eland, steinbuck, wildebeest (gnu), hartebeest, baboon, jackal, and rhino. Birdlife is also plentiful and diverse (see Birdwatching, below).

• Mountain Drive. This drive into the Khomas Highlands is very scenic, and besides oryx and kudu you could also see the rarely seen Hartmann's mountain zebra, which is endemic to Namibia. This drive we offer mostly in the morning as there are other activities in the afternoon. If you book two nights this drive is free.

• Horseback riding with game viewing - with horses you get very close to the game.

• Birdwatching.Namibia is a birdwatcher's paradise and about 160 species have been recorded at Düsternbrook (many more are probably present, at least seasonally). Many of these can be found right around the farmhouse, guest rooms, and campground. We have documented five southern African endemics (South African Shelduck, Cape Vulture, Ashy Tit, Anteating Chat, and Rockrunner). The walking trails offer particularly good birding venues. Our guides have some training in bird identification and we have checklists, binoculars, and field guides available on request.

• Choose between different marked walking trails from 1 to 4 hours in length.

• Mountaineering to the "Khomas-Eck" (1,850 m elevation) is a day tour for adventurers in the rough and wildly romantic landscape of the Khomas Highlands.
• 4x4-mountain trail: a self-drive tour into the mountains and sandy riverbed, about 14 km in length.

We are a member of the Khomas Hochland Conservancy with 200,000 ha and we support the Cats Unlimited Wildlife Foundation.
