Please note
Gravel roads make up more than two-thirds of Namibia’s roads. We suggest renting a 4×4. Since Windhoek, where most rental car companies are located, is 45 kilometers west of Hosea Kutako International Airport, you will need to make arrangements with your rental car company for a transfer from the airport to Windhoek. Alternatively, please contact us and we will arrange for you to rent a car and move. Rates are available upon request.
You will be greeted by a local transfer representative and moved to your lodge after arriving at Hosea Kutako International Airport. You enter the vast and contrasting Namib Desert area as you travel deeper into the south by road. You arrive in the Namib Naukluft Park area in the early afternoon after passing through Mariental, Maltahöhe, and Sesriem.
When you arrive at Hosea Kutako International Airport, a local transfer representative will greet you and transport you to your lodge. You enter the vast and contrasting Namib Desert area as you travel further south by road. In the early afternoon, after passing through Mariental, Maltahöhe, and Sesriem, you arrive at your breathtaking destination in the Namib Naukluft Park area.
On Day 2, you’ll get up really early for coffee/tea before heading into the sand sea of Sossusvlei for your pre-dawn adventure. Today is your chance to scale one of the world’s tallest sand dunes. From here, you’ll return to the Namib Naukluft Park’s entrance, where you’ll explore the breathtaking Sesriem Canyon. If it has rained, there are still pools of cool water at intervals in the canyon for the adventurous among you to crawl down into and explore.
In the late afternoon, return to the cabin.
Day 3’s morning is yours to do as you want. Relax by the pool, at the sunny and shady desk, or on the lush green lawns that surround the deck. On the surrounding plain, there is a diverse range of wildlife to watch as they graze or happily walk to the waterhole to quench their thirst. The resident Rhinos visit the waterhole twice a day to drink and eat the Lucerne bales that are given to them. You’ll go on a Nature Drive in the afternoon to see the abundant and interesting wildlife that manages to survive in these harsh environments before returning to the Lodge to watch a final stunning Namibian sunset.
Dinner in the evening can be followed by a series of wines from the stunning new underground wine cellar (optional, wine not included.)
We Kebi is a San Bushmen word that means invitation in their almost-forgotten language. Discover the desert landscapes of the San people, who for thousands of years roamed the plains and mountains surrounding We Kebi.
Every freestanding en-suite luxury chalet has its own pavilion with a 180-degree uninterrupted view of the surrounding scenery, providing complete solitude, privacy, and tranquility. The chalets are individually furnished, with comfortable, spacious interiors and exquisite, luxurious towelling and bed linen on the big, high-quality beds. The rooms have an air conditioner, a mini bar, and a coffee/tea station, and the bathrooms have a large bathtub or shower, as well as twin basins.
We Kebi’s kitchen serves a diverse menu that includes tender, savory free-range meats, locally grown organic vegetables, and freshly baked bread. Organic pickled olives, made at home, are a delicious addition to any meal.
The main lodge has a fully licensed bar, wine cellar, deck pool with outdoor barbeque area, and a Boma with fire pit. On cold winter nights, the welcoming lounge’s fireplace provides warmth and a beautifully cozy atmosphere. The infrastructure around We Kebi has been designed to work in harmony with the incredibly generous environment; a photovoltaic power plant provides electricity, solar geysers take advantage of the year-round sunlight, mineral water is provided by boreholes, the pool is solar heated, and an environmental management system ensures that the carbon footprint and environmental effects are kept to a minimum.

Questions?
Many people don’t see the point in driving through a bushveld looking for animals, but there’s so much more to it. wild animals are seen as a nuisance in most inhabited areas, but if you’ve never seen the magic of animals in their natural habitat, untouched by humans, you’ve been missing out! looking at zoo animals in their enclosures might be considered nice, because you’re almost 100% guaranteed that you’ll see them, but that’s not how they behave in the wild. nothing beats the thrill of finding a pride of lions laying in the shade, or walking across the road right in front of you, and once you’ve felt the reverberations of an elephant’s trumpet through your bones, you’ll be hooked! our clients often come back for more, because you never know what you’re going to see next…
Every single one of our guides have a passion for the kruger park. we love waking up every morning and meeting new people, never mind sharing our love for the bushveld with them. we are highly experienced and have heaps of knowledge about the fauna and flora in the knp at our clients’ disposal. one of our best characteristics must be that we focus on small groups to give each safari trip the best chance of seeing the best sights that the knp has to offer. our safaris depart any day of the week to suit our clients’ busy schedules and will accommodate all your needs as best we can. visit our website for more information on our company…
We operate from hazyview and will collect you from any of the lovely holiday resorts, lodges or nearby locations. our vehicles depart at different times in different seasons… for full day or morning safaris, we leave at 5am in october to march and at 5h30am in april to september. for afternoon safaris, we leave at 13h00 pm in the afternoons. most of the wildlife in the park prefers hiding in the shade during the hot afternoons, so we highly recommend joining us for the earlier safaris to get the most out of your trip.
Anything to do with the word “game” whilst on a safari—like game drives or looking for game—all refers to wild animals in safari context. you might also encounter “game” on the menus of some traditional restaurants, which basically means that you’re ordering wild buck meat, or even warthog.
Even though the knp falls in a malaria area, most foreigners are pleasantly surprised at how few mosquitoes are actually encountered whilst on a safari. these mosquitoes breed in water, and even in the middle of our rainy season in december, we don’t consider them to be a relentless menace. despite what you might have been told, mosquitoes are not a plague in the knp and although we are always cautious about malaria, the locals in and around the knp do not run around with repellents all the time.
If you’re really worried and consider yourself or anyone joining you on the safari to be particularly susceptible to this rare disease, be sure to consult your gp. there are many places in the park where you can buy mosquito repellent containing deet—this is the most vital ingredient in insect repellents as it has been proven to repel the malaria-carrying mosquitoes effectively.
Even though the kruger park is basically a giant protected bushveld and sparsely populated, there are many little “towns” and camps where you can find anything from grocery stores, souvenir stores, petrol stations and much more.
As mentioned before, there are many places in the knp where we can stop over for lunch where you can buy take-away food or choose to have a meal at the various restaurants. we usually have lunch at skukuza, but this is not set in stone.
Two words: comfortable and practical. seeing as you’re going to be driving around for the majority of the time on your safari experience, it is advisable that you wear clothes that are not too tight and not too hot. winters can be cold, so check the forecast beforehand, but summers are the opposite—just take a jacket with you in case it gets chilly, and stay away from high heels, ladies! we might stop on top of rocky mountains to give you an in-person taste of the spectacular views in the knp. trust me, it’s spine-chilling raw beauty.
You’ll be surprised at the true meaning of this term—it actually refers to the five most feared animals in the bush. they are extremely dangerous to hunt on foot and also rather rare. the big 5 consists of african lions, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. it really is a tourist attraction and many safari companies utilise this term as a major marketing strategy.
We cannot guarantee that there will be sightings of all five animals in the big 5, but we can guarantee that we will do our best to find them. elephants are massive, this is true, but in the lush untouched bushveld of the kruger, if they don’t want to be seen, they can easily disappear behind the trees mere meters away from you. they tend not to be too shy, unlike leopards. rhinos are extremely scarce, but our guides know where their usual grazing spots are, and a pride of lions would attract so much attention that our radios would notify us if there’s a sighting nearby. nevertheless, you are guaranteed to see a very diverse variety of animals in the kruger national park.
Children under 8 are more than welcome on privately hired open vehicles, yes. this is purely out of consideration for our other clients who do not have children and might not have the patience for their unique outlook and excitement about each wild animal we encounter. all children under 12 have discounted safari rates, as well as half-price conservation fees to enter the kruger national park.
You can visit our website to view the current prices for our safaris, make a booking online to receive an invoice, and then make an online payment before the safari takes place, or contact kurt safari for any enquiries you might have regarding other payment options.
I cannot even begin to list the most amazing experiences we’ve had whilst on safaris in the knp! there are too many to count, each encounter very different but equally remarkable. if you consider the size of the knp and how many animals call it their home, you can only begin to imagine the things we’ve seen—from a ride of lionesses to the birth of a brand-new baby giraffe. each time our jaws drop at the splendour of mother nature. you will have to come and see it for yourself.
Placing yourself in the middle of a nature reserve where there are numerous predators and dangerous animals could sound pretty intimidating, but rest assured, kurt safari guides all have in-depth knowledge about the behaviour of these animals and would never put your life in danger. elephants can be aggressive if they have young ones to protect and even lone elephant bulls have charged at cars that don’t know when to back away, but obtaining injuries from wild animals whilst on a safari is very rare and you need not be worried—just enjoy the ride.
