Introduction:

Nestled in the heart of Southern Namibia lies a land of unparalleled beauty and natural wonders – the Spergebied and Namib Naukluft Park. From towering sand dunes to rugged mountains, this region is home to some of Namibia’s most iconic landscapes and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. Join us as we embark on a journey to explore the breathtaking sights and unforgettable experiences that await in this remote corner of the world.

Unveiling the Spergebied:

Stretching along the Atlantic Coast, the Spergebied (forbidden territory) is a vast and remote wilderness area that is largely untouched by human development. Here, towering sand dunes rise majestically from the desert floor, creating a surreal landscape that is both mesmerizing and awe-inspiring.

Venture deep into the heart of the Spergebied and you’ll discover hidden gems waiting to be explored. From the eerie shipwrecks that dot the coastline to the ancient rock formations that tell the story of millions of years of geological history, every corner of this wilderness holds a secret waiting to be uncovered.

Discovering Namib Naukluft Park:

Adjacent to the Spergebied lies the Namib Naukluft Park, a sprawling expanse of desert and mountains that is home to some of Namibia’s most iconic landmarks. Here, you’ll find the towering sand dunes of Sossusvlei, where the shifting sands create an ever-changing landscape of shapes and shadows.

But the park is not just about sand dunes – it’s also home to a wealth of biodiversity, including rare desert-adapted plants and animals. Take a hike through the rugged terrain and you may encounter gemsbok, springbok, and even the elusive desert-adapted elephant.

Exploring the Possibilities:

For guests staying at Kronenhof Lodge, the Spergebied and Namib Naukluft Park are within easy reach, offering endless opportunities for exploration and adventure. Whether you’re embarking on a guided safari, hiking through the desert, or simply soaking in the beauty of the landscape, the possibilities are endless.

From sunrise to sunset, the Spergebied and Namib Naukluft Park beckon adventurers to discover their hidden treasures and create memories that will last a lifetime. So pack your bags, lace up your boots, and prepare to embark on the adventure of a lifetime in Namibia’s hidden gems.

Comfort in the desert. At Kronenhof was a welcome oasis after long drive on dirt roads. They have given great attention to detail and comfort features, ensuring a very relaxing and pleasant stay. The self-catering units were very well appointed. Beds are very comfortable with good linen and pillows, extra little brown towel for shoes and luggage, and bedrooms are very spacious. The bathroom is simple in its design, but well planned and with a shower big enough for the whole family - or just the two of you planning a whole family. The patio living area has a seater bench, small but well stocked kitchen and indoors braai. There is also an outside braai, but with the storm the evening we stayed there, I was very thankful for the indoors braai. It is a very well located stop-over if you need to travel to or from Sesriem.

Fantastic We camped at a private campsite. Price is reasonable. Facilities are first class and offer a very comfortable camping experience....ample space,beautiful shower,perfect washing up facility, well thought out braai area. Camping is away from main lodge so no noise or light pollution. And the swimming pool is a bonus. Highly recommended. In addition the owners and staff are highly professional and went out of their way to accommodate our requests. The bar and dining area at the main lodge are comfortable and inviting. Thank you for a great stay.

Lovely stay at Kronenhof My wife and I stayed two nights at one of the private campsites At Kronenhof Lodge. The facilities are excellent and have everything you need as an overlander. The staff are also super friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed two of their many pools and also had a delicious dinner at their restaurant. Of course their lovely bar also had Hansa draught on tap! We saw one giraffe and would have loved to see more animals, but it was very hot and they were probably resting in the shade. All in all we really enjoyed our stay.

Ideal stay in fantastic namibian landscape This stay was perfect. We arrived with a flat tyre and it was fixed in no time. We had DBB and we were spoiled! Got a lovely springbok steak for dinner. The scenic drive we took had everything we wanted to see. First and foremost the breathtaking landscape with giraffes, zebras, blesbok and black wildebeest in the light of the setting sun. The chalets had everything you needed for a restful sleep and the hosts were very helpful and knowledgeable of the environment and the roads we wanted to take.
