About Hauchabfontein Campsite
Hauchabfontein Farm is a small oasis in the middle of the desert. To the north are the foothills of the Naukluft mountains and to the south the Tsaris mountains.
The farm and the campsites are on the Zebra and Tschauchab rivers. The Tschauchab rises in the Naukluft mountains and later flows through Sesriem Canyon and finally ends at Sossusvlei in Namib-Naukluft Park.

Your accommodation
There are about 10 individual campsites. The spacious pitches are surrounded by acacia and ebony trees that provide pleasant shade.
Each campsite is equipped with a brick braai area and a campfire spot on the ground. There is also a tap with drinking water, a sink and a small work surface.
The communal sanitary facilities have showers and toilets. As there is no electricity, the path to the sanitary facilities is lit with candles in the evening. Sounds pretty lovely, doesn’t it?
On the farm you can buy fresh farm products such as meat and also firewood.
