Perched on the rim of the Grootberg Plateau, the Grootberg Lodge
stands sentinel over the Klip River Valley.
It’s 11 rock and thatch chalets gaze out over the gorge,
where Black Eagles hunt just below the level of your private deck.
12 000 hectares have been set aside by the Khoadi /Hoas community
for conservation and tourism and it is through this pristine wilderness
that you meander either on foot or by car to encounter the inhabitants
of this remote biosphere, it is the first middle-market establishment
in the country that is 100% owned by the conservancy.
Desert elephant, Black Rhino and Lion are some of the more impressive
mammals to be found, but not to be outdone you’ll find a myriad
of smaller mammals, birds, reptiles, insects and plants.
