Welcome    to our Guest farm


Otjihaenamaparero “Dinosaur’s Tracks”


The farm, located between Windhoek and Etosha national park, is an ideal starting point for diverse activities.

We are a small farm, but nevertheless we offer a special and very private atmosphere in Namibia’s natural beauty near the Mount Etjo.

On our Guest farm you will find the famous Dinosaur footprints which are declared a

  > National Monument <  in the Etjo sandstone.

Immediately next to the approx. 200 Mio years’ old impressing fossilized Dinosaur’s tracks, you will find



   our guest-house  built in 2003.

It is located in the middle of lush vegetation and surrounded by many big trees.

Each guest-room has its own terrace with a beautiful view of the impressive mountain scenery and the games crossing along our two lakes.

Enjoy the beautiful landscape - especially in the evening - watching the fantastic sunset and taking a "Sundowner".



   For our camping - guests 

there is a camping site with four places available, between big trees giving pleasant shadow.

Each camping ground has its own drinking water facility and fireplace; and of course you can use the barbecue place.
You may spend your days relaxing in the shadow of the acacia-trees and your evenings sitting at the campfire enjoying the atmospheric starry sky of Namibia.

In almost all guidebooks and other travel brochures you will find information about our farm; mentioning the Dinosaur footprints together with our guesthouse and campsite.

All over the world you will find only a few dozen of these footprints, but the most impressive finding place is on our farm in the region of > Otjihaenamaparero < under legal protection - as all fossils are.



   The mount Etjo

itself forms a narrow plateau of 16 km length and a maximum width of 3 km. The highest point is 2086 m above sea level.
The upper plateau of the Etjo is formed by approx. 70 m of sandstone.
The ridge forms a watershed. Rain falling on the southern Etjo flows into the “Omaruru” river, a so-called dry river which flows to the west, while water from the north-eastern parts of Etjo flows into the “Omatako”, flowing to the east.

The river “Omaruru” crossing our farm invites you to beautiful walking tours. Along the Omaruru-river you will find the opportunity of guided walking tours enjoying the fascinating mountain scenery. Here, all over the year, you can find a pleasant dry climate.
