“Oppiklippe” (Afrikaans for on the rocks) is the name of our venture to combine some tourist accommodation with our wildlife farm - named
‘Petersburg’ after the Russian city by the original German settlers. This presents an opportunity for tourists to come in contact with a Namibian farm and its people. Petersburg forms part
of the Etosha Conservancy and is mainly used for farming with eland. Oppiklippe is situated near Outjo the "Gateway to Etosha". The details of what you can expect
are listed below. |
- affordable rates for overnight stay and camping
- go for a walk on the rocks of our “Outjo terraces” and soak up the dry sun burnt Namibian scenery up to the far off Paresis mountains
- view the wildlife while on your hiking trail, or back at the cabin—birds or a shy Damara Dikdikkie, kudu or eland drinking
- sit around a fire or just in the shade of the cabin after the walk, enjoying your drinks and food, in complete solitude, enjoying the silence of the infinite space
around you, especially at night
- view the unbelievable bright expanse of stars at night
- collect free firewood
