About Us

Lapa Lange is one of the new exhibitors at this year's Namibia Tourism Expo. This haven in nature is located 35 kilometres along the M29 road on the way to Gochas on the edge of the Kalahari.

It has sleeping facilities for 21 guests in en suite self catering units as well as en suite rooms which offer a dinner, bed and breakfast service. Camping facilities are also available on the lawn or around the water hole.

Lapa Lange's restaurant offers uniquely Namibian country style cuisine and can also serve a la carte meals when required.

Owners, Piet and Ems de Lange, however prefer to introduce visitors to the traditional camp fire experience serving potjiekos and lapa barbeques. This offers a special treat to tourists unfamiliar with this well loved Namibian cooking experience. According to the De Langes their whole philosophy in the operation of Lapa Lange is based on the principle of Namibian "Gemutlichkeit.

Lapa Lange has its own take on so the so called Big Eight: beer, braaivleis, biltong, boeretroos (coffee) big fires, black diamond (karakul), boere music and beautiful black ladies in traditional attire.

After a feast or a long relaxing walk the rock pool is the ideal place to cool off and wash away any bit of remaining stress.

Visitors to Lapa Lange can enjoy a wide range of activities that include walks in the game camp, a game drive or merely relaxing next to the water hole and watching a variety of game come to drink. Twenty different species of game are found on the 1 500 hectare of the lodge.

Sun downer trips and dune rides on the red Kalahari dunes are also offered to guests. "Lapa Lange is nature friendly and it is our aim to bring people closer to nature and its wild life," says Mrs. De Lange.

For the foreseeable future Lapa Lange is planning a self catering tented camp, constructing a Nama/ Damara as well as a San (Bushmen) traditional village together with a cultural centre where the cultures of all of Namibia's ethnic groups will be featured.

At Lapa Lange visitors to our country will be able to enjoy a real Namibian cultural learning experience. They will also be able to buy hand made items produced by Nama and San people. Lapa Lange is the ideal stop over for tours into the Kalahari. Light lunches for bus tour groups can be offered are smaller tour groups can spend the night in the rooms or self catering units.
