Situated in the peaceful solitude of an idyllic valley, in the heart of the desert, KuanguKuangu is the ideal place for travellers who seek tranquillity and intimacy. Nestled in a dune, KuanguKuangu makes it possible for its occupants to live in harmony with nature, at the same time offering them comfort, luxury, adventure and relaxation.

Views:The desert and mountains all around you.

Take the B1 until Rehoboth (the last petrol station before you reach Kuangukuangu is at Rehoboth). About 5 km after Rehoboth, turn right onto the C24 until you reach Nauchas. Turn right onto the D1275, which will take you over the Spreetshoogte pass. About 20 km further on, you will see, on your left, a fence saying "Barchan Dune": turn off. Here you take the private road to go to the guestfarm of Willem and Hannetjie (3km), who will welcome you and will show you where Kuangukuangu is located. You will then discover your own accommodation in Namibia. It takes approximately 3 hours to go to Kuangukuangu from Windhoek or from Swakopmund.

The natural materials used for the construction of KuanguKuangu blend perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Combinations of vibrant earth tones and raw materials such as canvas, wood, stones, logs and sand in an essential wilderness mix to keep a sense of the old safaris, transcending the ephemeral nature of modern decor fashions to harmonise with the natural world. KuanguKuangu has one main room, which opens out towards the valley, and is centered around a bed. You will be able to enjoy at leisure both sun up and sun down on the Barchan dunes. Simple and uncluttered, the bedroom with a spectacular view is an oasis of quietness and inspiration. Behind this main room are the bathroom and the kitchen, built around a rock in perfect harmony with the natural environment. This open-air part of KuanguKuangu offers a panoramic view of the mountains situated behind KuanguKuangu during daytime… or of the starry heaven as soon as night has fallen (the Namib desert is reputedly the best place in Southern Africa to observe the stars). The starry sky in southerly direction will thus be visible to the naked eye, unobstructed, from the rock around which KuanguKuangu is built. KuanguKuangu comes from "Omukuangukuangu", a word used by the Ovambo people, meaning the milky way.
