Day hiking trails
As a overnight visitor or as day we offer several well-marked day hiking trails ranging from 1 hour to 6 hours.
Day visitors will have to pay a conservation fee of 200 NAD per Person.
Weekend trails
Ombota Wildernis Trail is a weekend trail, here you can hike from the main house to an overnight shelter called Khomas Eck Basecamp with basic overnight facilities (see further down). After a wonderful night in the basecamp you can either hike back the next day, but also continue a different trail. The basecamp is very inviting to spend more than one night and as a highlight you can hike up the top of the Khomas Eck (1850 m). The way up offers beautiful unspoiled views into the mountain landscape, you even pass a dry waterfall. From the top you have the most fantastic 360 degrees view.
Long distance trails
Together with neighbouring farmers, we offer the Khomas Hochland Hiking Trail (KHHT), a scenic route spanning either 100 km over 6 days or 54 km over 4 days. The trail, which has already gained significant popularity, starts and ends at Düsternbrook. Find out more about the KHHT here.
