Rooisand Desert Ranch
Gamsberg2:15 from Windhoek
Rooisand Desert Ranch is situated on the fringe of the Namib Desert in Namibia's Central Region, at the C 26 between the mountain passes of Gamsberg and Kuiseb, halfway between Windhoek (170 km) and Walvis Bay on the Atlantic coast (190 km).
The farm has a size of some 12.000 ha, a huge area - by European standards. Surrounded by the magnificent scenery of red sand dunes - deposited in distant times by winds from the Kalahari Desert - vast grasslands and rugged mountains, Rooisand Desert Ranch affords its guests a relaxing sojourn with every convenience.
