Omaha Guest Farm
Otjiwarongo

Accommodation Namibia - Northern Region

Experience true farm life in Namibia at Omaha! Omaha Guest Farm is situated at the foot of Mount Etjo only a 2-hour drive NW from Windhoek. Omaha is conveniently located en route between Windhoek and a number of Namibia's primary tourism destinations: Etosha and Waterberg National Parks, Damaraland, Bushmanland, Kavango Region and the Caprivi Strip. “Omaha” in the Herero language means "the place where one can live".
A large part of the farm is taken up by Mt Etjo, a geologically unique feature of the Namibian landscape. Mount Etjo is an erosional relic dating to the time of Gondwanaland, 500 million years ago. The mountain is a narrow plateau 16 km long with a maximum width of 3 km, standing 2086 m above sea level at its highest point. Mount Etjo is capped with a layer of hard sandstone, measuring up to 70 meters deep. The saddle of the mountain forms the watershed between the Omaruru River running west to the Atlantic Ocean and the Omatako River that runs to the northeast into the Kavango River, historically draining into the Indian Ocean by the Zambezi River.
Earthen dams have been built on the farm to retard erosion caused by the enormous amount of water rushing down Mount Etjo after rainfalls. The dams provide drinking water for game as well as for the domestic animals on the farm. Indigenous free-ranging game and a very diverse bird fauna, including waterfowl, are attracted to the impoundments. Warthog, Kudu, Oryx, Damara Dik-dik, Steenbok, Duiker, Jackal and Suricates are often seen, while leopard, cheetah, jackals, hartebeest, springbok and Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra also occur.

Cattle, goats and sheep are farmed at Omaha. Leopard and cheetah occur naturally on the farm, so calves and lambs have to stay in kraals at the house for about three months to minimize their predation. Lambs are protected by an Anatolian shepherd dog native to Turkey.
