Local tip
Make time for a sunrise or sundowner nature drive to experience the Great Karas Mountains in their most beautiful light. If you're travelling south towards South Africa or north towards Keetmanshoop, Goibib is a convenient place to break up the journey. Stargazing is also worth making time for on a clear night.
Goibib Mountain Lodge is a peaceful mountain retreat situated in the Great Karas Mountains of southern Namibia, along the B1 highway between Keetmanshoop and Grünau. Conveniently located on the main route between Windhoek and Cape Town, the lodge offers travellers a welcoming place to relax while discovering the natural beauty and unique farm experiences of the ǁKaras Region.
Set beside the dry Goibib River, the property combines comfortable accommodation, traditional Namibian hospitality and the tranquillity of the Nama-Karoo landscape. It is an ideal stopover for self-drive travellers, couples, families, nature enthusiasts and visitors exploring southern Namibia.

Sunrise drives and sundowner excursions showcase the changing colours of the mountains and open landscapes. Depending on conditions and luck, visitors may also encounter nocturnal wildlife.
Other activities include self-guided walks, hiking, birdwatching, mountain biking and stargazing beneath the clear southern Namibian night sky.
