Etango Ranch Guest Farm: Our full report
Own by the Grellmann family, Etango Ranch Guest Farm is ideally placed for travellers who wish to be close ...
... to Windhoek International Airport.There are six African styled twin rooms, simply decorated but comfortable. Each room has it's own private, small veranda looking over the gardens in front.
The main area has indoor and outdoor dining areas, a lounge, cosy bar and there is also a swimming pool where you can relax.
Etango Ranch Guest Farm offers activities including scenic drives, a bird-watching breakfast (an al fresco breakfast at one of the birding hotspot on the Namatanga Conservancy) and walks. You can do either guided nature walks to learn about the local flora and fauna and spot game, or just head out on your own following self-guided walking trails. A fairly unique activity is being able to go out on this working farming and get an insight into Namibian farmers duties - cattle ranching, give vaccinations, sheep dipping etc.
