Excellent half way place.
Excellent stopover from the Cape en route to Windhoek. The host welcomes you warmly. The meals and cash bar are some of the best. It's wonderfully quiet, beautiful surroundings, far enough from the main road that you don't hear traffic. Can't help but sleep well.

Hospitable, relaxed and relaxing is the atmosphere of the farm.
The welcome was very pleasant. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The buildings are old, but very neat and clean inside. We asked for a cold room and they specially put one on for us. We had a good barbecue and danced at the closed braai/shed. The owner and I had a nice chat until late at night. Definitely going to sleep there again in October 2024.

Had a great time.
Very nice stay and visit. Savanna is a bit "rustic", but we have stayed here before and will again. The peasant food dinner is very tasty and value for money. The owner and staff are very friendly and he chats well. One of our favorite stops in Namibia. Swimming pool is a pleasure in the hot weather.

This was one of the highlights of our Namibia trip.
Beautiful farm located between the heads at the Karasberge area. We were welcomed by Aora, the biggest and friendliest boerboel dog you've ever come across. Monica prepared the most delicious peasant food dinner for us and together with Erich, our host's hospitality, we experienced one of the most enjoyable evenings in Namibia. If we go that way again, we definitely want to stay a few nights longer. Only criticism would be that the WiFi signal was a little weak in the rooms and also that the hot water pressure struggled a bit with the showers. Other than that, 10 out of 10! Thank you very much!

Nadat ons die kort stukkie grondpad ingery het van die B1, is ons baie vriendelik deur 'n dame verwelkom en na ons kamer verwys. Die aand het ons lekker saam met ander gaste gekuier en het ons saam 'n heerlike aandete geniet.

Kamer was netjies en skoon. Toegangspad ietwat sand ─ alhoewel nie nat gewees, was dit nie ideaal met gewone nie-4-wiel-voertuig. Groot kommernis is sekuriteit. Geen veiligheidshek of -hekke by ingange nie. Vir gewone voertuig moeilik.

WiFi only has strong enough signal in dining room ─ not in rooms.

Peaceful, friendly, good facilities and very good customer service!
We were 2 couples that stayed with Eric at Savanna for 2 nights after the Fish River Canyon hike. From the delicious dinner and braai the next evening to the flock of rosy-faced lovebirds and Auro, the beautiful Boerboel, we thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and will definitely recommend it. The facilities were more than sufficient and the peace was just what we needed to think back on our hike. It is conveniently close to Hobas. We really had a nice time.

We are so glad we chose Savanna Guest Farm to stay at. What a gem of a place that takes you far back in German history. We had a warm cordial welcome and immediately felt at home in the neat, fresh rooms that were offered to us. We will not forget the hospitality and the delicious dinner. At bedtime it was quite cold on the farm and what a treat it was when we could turn on an air conditioner in the room to sleep nice and warm after a long journey. We regret we couldn't stay there longer, the stone heads around the farm are incredibly beautiful, especially at dusk. The tower according to the old stone house reminds of the fairy tale about Rapunzel. Will definitely stay there again on our next Namibia tour!

Efficient, clean, practical, quality linen, slight WiFi, friendly reception, nice and quiet location away from main road.
Quality linen (in white) is appreciated. Room 2 is sufficient for two (at the beginning of May 2019 we did not need to test air conditioning or roof fan). Kettle, milk for coffee, biscuits suitable for type of room. Self-catering in combination with Room 2 is not recommended: it's just a room with 2 beds and a chair (there is a larger suitable room with its own braai available for this). The dining room looks very comfortable and friendly (we didn't use it). We pay R800 (for 2) without breakfast which feels a bit expensive for a very ordinary, but neat room.
