Fort Sesfontein Lodge Accommodation

Welcome To Fort Sesfontein Lodge

Sesfontein was named after the 'six springs' that surface nearby. It stands in the Hoanib Valley and marks the northern edge of Damaraland.

The Lodge is situated in the north western part of Namibia, close to the Hoanib river, on the southern side of Kaokoveld.

A gap in the mountains gives access to the valley basin on Sesfontein (six fountains), where lush green gardens give the landscape its special oasis character.

Fort Sesfontein Lodge Activities and Things to Do




In 1896, the government of what was then German South-West Africa built the Fort Sesfontein as a control point for keeping in check cattle disease, arms smuggling and illegal hunting of big animals.

The fort was abandoned in 1914 and only ruins and a small army-cemetery still stood witness to the former German presence in Sesfontein.

Fort Sesfontein is the gateway to Kaokoveld, an area of some 50 000 km between the Hoanib and Cunene, the frontier river to Angola.
