Hardap Resort… an unspoilt family destination

June Shimuoshili
Are you a parent with young children looking for a comfortable and safe place for a quick getaway? Then, Hardap Resort is just the place for you.

Situated about 260 km south of Windhoek, Hardap Resort encompasses Namibia's largest dam, Hardap, which is fed by the Fish River. The Hardap Resort is also a haven for black rhino, giraffe, oryx, springbok, kudu, Hartmann's mountain zebras and the black-backed jackal. The dam and surroundings accommodate one of Namibia's most strategic great-white-pelican breeding colonies.

But most attractive for a family traveller is certainly the rock hyrax which can be spotted at any random place around the chalets, restaurant and on the walking trails.

The rooms are crisply clean and service staff check in early morning to see if the guests are fine.

The restaurant has an excellent view over the Hardap Dam and allows little children to safely gaze out through the window without being endangered.

The VIP chalets are beautiful and the facilities are great.

There are not a lot of activities to do but the beautiful landscape, dam and the star lit night sky made up for it.

The clear cut paths and playground makes it a wonderful place for toddlers who can swing and slide for hours and run around while still having a sight of the dam. Indeed Hardap Resort is perfect for an overnight pit-stop or a weekend getaway.
