Grootberg Lodge is situated on the C40 road, 90kms from
Kamanjab and 23kms from Palmweg. Perched on the rim of the Grootberg Plateau,
the Grootberg Lodge stands sentinel over the Klip River Valley.
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 vehicle to encounter the inhabitants
of this remote biosphere.
Grootberg Lodge is a landmark in Namibia's tourism industry. It is the
first middle-market establishment in the country that is 100% owned by
the conservancy.
The European Union funded the project, through the Ministry of Environment
and Tourism's Development Programme. At the same time, the private sector
has been called in to supply the training and management skills, until
the community becomes self-sustainable.
Grootberg Lodge offers a professional service, extremely good food, well-trained
guides and exceptionally good local management in great surroundings.
The local community benefits greatly, thanks to the revenues generated
by the Lodge.
