Ababis Guest Farm Namibia is situated about 250 km south west of the capital Windhoek on the northern outskirts of the Naukluft Massif - famous Naukluft Mountains. Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon are easily accessible from here.

The farm Ababis was established as outpost for the former “Kaiserliches Landgestuet Nauchas" and belonged to the Voigt family until 1985. Since then it is being run by the Schulze Neuhoff family. Berghouse is the former dwelling (built in 1948) at the farm Stolzenfels, which has been part of Ababis since 1960. The house lies amid the pristine African savannah surrounded by the Rand and Remhoogte mountains.

Enjoy a couple of days of unspoilt nature and abundance of wildlife. A model of a planned olive grove on Ababis, which is to be ready by Desert in Art, is displayed at the farm. The grove was designed by Hamburg landscape architect Kathrin Wolf.
