The Koch Family and Tiras
The "Koch family" originally lived on their family farm at the "Lewer" River, which was purchased by the former German government for cattle breeding, vegetable gardening, and agriculture.
However, the farm had to be sold in 1963 in accordance with the Odendaal plan to enlarge communal areas. In exchange, Tiras was acquired and further developed.
In the 1990s, as people interested in botany and archaeology began visiting Tiras, the idea of starting a manageable tourism business was conceived. This idea came to fruition with the construction of a guest bungalow in 1995.
Fauna at Tiras
Tiras is home to various succulents, including lithophytes, crassulaceae, anacampseros, sarcocaulons, hoodia, euphorbia, and aloes.
Wildlife on the farm includes oryx antelopes, bat-eared foxes, black-backed jackals, springbok, rock rabbits, hares, reptiles, eagles, and hawks.
Due to severe weathering, unique rock sculptures have been formed at Old Tiras. We can also arrange dune drives on our neighbouring farm, "Excelsior".
Climate at Tiras
Tiras has an interesting climate where the rainy seasons of summer and winter overlap.
The weather can change unexpectedly, ranging from relatively hot days and cool nights in summer to mild winter days with occasional snowfalls and gusty winds.
Most nights are clear, and the starlit sky will leave an indelible impression on you.
