Otjitambi is situated in the northwest of Namibia, at the
southern border of Kaokoland. With a size of 11,650 ha and an annual rainfall
of 300 mm, it hosts a variety of antelope, different species of birds and
carnivores like leopard. Guest Farm Otjitambi: In 1903 the ranch was
purchased by Carl Schlettwein. Until 1963, Otjitambi was a
cattle ranch.
A severe drought forced owners to look for an additional
source of income. The guest and hunting side, in those days a nearly unknown
industry was born. Today accommodation consists of 5 double rooms and 2 single
rooms, all with bath/shower and toilets. A spacious swimming pool and a
Jacuzzi type bath filled with water from the hot spring will ensure relaxation
from the days' adventures. A daily laundry service is available. Campers can
make use of the camping site, near the banks of the Huab River. The diverse
landscape with its granite koppies, the Mopane savannahs and the Huab River
make hunting as well as hiking an ever lasting experience. Due to the
availability of open waters, Otjitambi offers superb birding.
ACTIVITIES: Game Drives and Guided Bush Walks offer fantastic
opportunities to view many game species, as well as the 350 bird species
recorded in this area. The hides over-looking the waterholes are the
photographer’s delight!
