Arnhem Cave is 4,5km in length - the longest
in Namibia. It was officially declared a tourism attraction by the Namibian
Ministry of Environment and Tourism in 1995. The cave was discovered in 1930
by the then owner of the Farm, Daniel Bekker and today,it is still in the same
natural state as when it was found. The entrance to the cave is divided in two
by a thick column of rock leading down into a gigantic cavern, large enough to
park 90 school busses.

Six species of bats have been scientifically
identified at Arnhem, including the Giant Leaf-nosed bat with a
wingspan of more than 60 cm and weighing up to 150g. This is the largest
insect eating bat in the world.
Arnhem Cave is situated only 85km from the Hosea Kutako International Airport
near Windhoek, making it the ideal first or last stop during your visit to
Namibia. A guided tour through the cave at your request, will probably leave
you with your most memorable experience of caving. The duration of the tour
depends on how far you would like to explore the cave. No crawling is
necessary and the tour could last up to three hours - if you desire.
For those less interested in caving and bats, Arnhem offers you many other
interesting activities to indulge in while enjoying the beauty of Namibia in a
safe and peaceful farm environment. There is a hiking trail and a swimming
pool to cool down in on your return, a wealth of bird-watching opportunities
and a thatched Lapa in which you can relax and enjoy refreshments. The Rest
Camp consists of four double thatched chalets with en-suite showers and
toilets, tastefully furnished for your comfort. In addition there are camping
sites with grassed areas, barbecue or 'braai' facilities as they are known in
Namibia, power points , clean and modern ablution blocks and a field kitchen.
Meals are served in the Lapa on request, or for the more adventurous, guests
can prepare their own meals or braai at the facilities that are available.
Your hosts, Jannie and Elmarie Bekker will make the truly Namibian hospitality that the country is know for, your personal experience during your stay at Arnhem Cave.
