Omaha Farm B&B
Otjiwarongo

Main accommodation - Northern region

Experience farm life in Namibia! The farm is situated at the foot of the Etjo mountain. Omaha means "the place where one can live". The farm lies 200 km from Windhoek in the direction of Otjiwarongo. The size of the farm is 4143 hectares. A large part of the farm is taken up by the north-eastern part of the Etjo mountain as well as by various hills. The Etjo itself forms a narrow plateau - 16 km long with a maximum width of 3 km. The highest point of the mountain is 2086 m above sea level. Climbing the mountain and coming down again takes about 5 - 6 hours - depending on how much walking is done on top. A stunning view from up there!
The saddle of the mountain forms the watershed between the "Omaruru" river running to the west and the "Omatako" river which runs to the east. To hold up some of the erosion caused by the enormous amount of water rushing down the mountain after rainfalls, are five earthen dams which have been built on the farm. They provide drinking water for game as well as for the domestic animals on the farm. Establishment are farming with cattle, goats and sheep. As establishment have some "cats" e.g. leopards and cheetah on the farm, all calves and lambs have to stay at the house, in kraals, for about three months, to avoid losses. The goats are cared for and looked after by a herder accompanied by an Anatolian shepherd dog.

Animals often seen are: Warthog, Kudu, Oryx, Damara Dik-dik, Steenbok, Duiker, Jackal and Suricates. Short trips can also be organized to the rock paintings and engravings at Twyfelfontein as well as a half-day visit to the dinosaur footprints.
