FOR A LUXURY SAFARI STAY…
An adventure that starts where the road ends, Kifaru Luxury Lodge and Bush Camp (Kifaru) offers guests an opportunity to immerse themselves in utter tranquillity.
Standing proudly on the beautifully weathered landscape of Namibia, Kifaru is so much more than just a stunning accommodation; it is a safari paradise.
With the name Kifaru meaning ‘rhino’ in Swahili, the conservation of the critically endangered animals is at the heart of the lodge’s ethos. A majority of the revenue generated by the lodge goes towards the Rhino Momma Project – an organisation dedicated to the care and repopulation of the species in Southern Africa.
The Kifaru reserve boasts over 60 different species of mammals and more than 300 species of birds. Visitors can explore the generous landscape on foot or via 4×4, with each experience carefully crafted to ensure the highest standards of safety and enjoyment. Feel the magic of the Namibian Bushveld as you learn more about the remarkably unique ecosystem whilst making memories for years to come.
With only six rooms on the property, travellers should expect nothing less than luxury and exclusivity at the lodge. For a more easy-going, adventurous experience, guests can stay at the rustic Kifaru Bush Camp located 5km from the main luxury lodge. Don’t forget to take advantage of the infinity pool that overlooks the floodlit waterhole, allowing you to enjoy watching myriad animals whilst sipping a cocktail or taking a refreshing dip.
Kifaru is more than just an overnight stop; it is a destination where you can linger and an adventure to embrace.
