Farm Stall – on the farm

Engage with Riana, your friendly hostess, who provides many of the delicacies that you’ll find at the farmstall – where you can relish a glass of chilled ginger beer and sample an array of biltong.

You’ll also find Kalahari certified natural lamb chops and boerewors and interesting curios.

Don’t miss out, as currently this is the only farm stall on the road (R360) from Upington to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Variety of Kalahari plants – on the farm

Because the Kalahari Desert is not technically a desert, there are almost 500 species of vegetation that thrive during the rainy season.

Because the soil and sand of the Kalahari retains water better than normal desert sand, the plant life is thriving in some parts.

In order to survive, the plants here grow a deep root to be able to reach waters in depth and to offer them stability in the harsh environment.
