Situated 10 km outside Otavi on the 83031 Road to Lake Guinas in the north of Namibia, Gabus Game Ranch is the ideal stopover en route to Namutoni, Kavango or Kunene.
Measuring 6 000 ha along the beautiful Uisib mountain, the farm stocks natural occurring game like Kudu, Eland, Warthog, Jackal, Leopard, Duiker, Damara Dik Dik, Steenbuck and Baboon in abundance.
About 10 years ago, other game - which has in the meantime multiplied considerably - has been introduced, e.g. Giraffe, Waterbuck, Impala, Springbuck, Black Wildebeest, Mountain Zebra, Ostrich and Hartebeest.
Wine tasting and the cave excursion are self-drive activities whereby guests will have to use their own car for transport to the establishment where the activity is offered. It’s optional to request a driver/guide from Gabus Game Ranch to cater for transport.
Visitors may lounge next to the swimming pool, overlooking the same waterhole.
During the rainy season, when the dam fills up with water, various species of wild ducks and geese and other water birds can be seen as well.
For game that does not frequent the water hole at the house, a game drive around the farm will almost guarantee that visitors see most of the game available.
A large thatched Entertainment Area provides a relaxing atmosphere for an enjoyable evening. At the bar refreshing drinks are served and dinner is either a formal sitdown in the dining room or an informal braai around a fire, listening to the night sounds of the wild and watching the African Stars.
There are many exciting things to do at Gabus including safari drives, horse riding, hiking trails, wildlife watching from the hide.
In addition guests can book external activities like wine tasting, a cave excursion in the Uiseb Mountain Range and day trips to the Etosha Park.
Our luxury rooms are spacious en-suite rooms either equipped with twin or double beds that are located only 50 meters from the main lodge area.
The spacious room terrace with a view of the lodge waterhole offers a great opportunity to see our wildlife from the comfort of your room. Some rooms have a waterhole view directly from the bed.
Animals including Giraffes, Kudu, Waterbuck, Impala, Eland and more visit the waterhole which is illuminated throughout the night giving guests the opportunity to observe the wildlife around the clock.
A modern private bathroom in the luxury rooms is equipped with a shower and toilet.
