Explore the captivating allure of Sesfontein, a charming settlement nestled in Namibia’s Kunene region, renowned for its six natural fountains. At the heart of this remote locale lies Fort Sesfontein Lodge, a historic landmark with origins dating back to 1896.
Originally established as a police checkpoint to regulate cattle disease, smuggling, and illegal hunting, the fort fell into disrepair after its abandonment in 1914. However, in the 1990s, restoration efforts breathed new life into the property, preserving its rich history and architectural significance.
Set amidst the arid landscapes between Damaraland and Kaokoveld, the lodge provides a welcome oasis, complete with lush palm trees and a welcoming pool.
Embark on exhilarating day trips, exploring the diverse wildlife of the region, including desert-adapted elephants, rhinos, and lions. Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the Himba tribes in their villages, or marvel at ancient rock carvings at Sossos.
