View from homestead
Farm Niedersachsen lies at the foot of Us-Pass on the outskirts of the Namib desert, 160 km west of Windhoek. From the castle-like homestead on a hill one can enjoy a panoramic view over 18.535 hectares of ondulating savannah scenery, bordered by the distant mountain ranges of the Khomas Hochland in the east and the Gamsberg in the south.

Klaus Ahlert with Karakul sheepSince 1936, Niedersachsen farms Karakul sheep, in good years up to 2000 animals. Since the demand for Persian lamb fur dropped in the 1970s, sheep breeding on Niedersachsen is of minor importance. Karakul sheep breeding is, however, still done on a small scale.
The Guestfarm Niedersachsen offers quiet, yet inspiring holidays in breathtaking nature, farm drives, hiking, game- and birdwatching, 4x4 tours to the Namib-Naukluft-Park and to the Kuiseb Canyon and also spectacular Deep-Sky observations from our own astronomical observatory.

ZebrasAnd, of course, we offer cosy accommodation in en-suite rooms and best home-cooked food with a focus on game meals.

Your hosts Barbara and Klaus Ahlert - both Namibians of German origin - look forward to welcome you as guests on Farm Niedersachsen.

'The Sheltering Desert'
Henno Martin TitleWhen World War II started, two German geologists, Henno Martin and Hermann Korn, decided to hide in the Namib Desert and to live and survive like bushmen. Later, Henno Martin wrote a book on this adventure. One of the desert dwellings of the two geologists lies on Farm Niedersachsen and can be visited here. Read more here.
