Buitepos Farming | Hunting – Southern Region | Africa De Sud Tourism

This evocative word, loosely translated from the original Afrikaans language to mean “Outpost”, describes a game farm located literally as an outpost in the heart of the Kalahari desert in Namibia.

Situated some 500 kilometers southeast of Windhoek at the point where the borders of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana converge, Buitepos has much to offer.Coordinates S 24 41 21,85 S 019 52 00,21 For the professional hunter there is an abundant choice of game namely Kudu, Oryx, Eland, Springbuck, Red Hartebeest, Zebra, Giraffe, Waterbuck, Steenbuck, Duiker, Warthog and more. For the less adventurous the contrasting natural beauty of the area is a feast for the senses. Sunset against the backdrop of Camel Thorn trees perched amongst the vivid ochre and red dunes, is spectacular. At night, reclining beside a roaring campfire set off by the almost tangible stillness, one is seduced by the serenity of the semi-arid Kalahari. This unique experience, coupled with the the beauty of the natural surroundings and the hospitality of the local folk, makes Buitepos an ideal breakaway from the pressure of city life. Sunrise is equally inspiring as it paints the landscape in soft shades of orange, the dunes reflecting against the horizon and the Camel Thorn treeline providing a breathtaking view across the almost endless plains with no civilization in sight. Buitepos truly offers all nature lovers an unforgettable oasis in the wide expanse of the Kalahari desert.
