Game drives at GocheGanas in Namibia is a very popular activity. Game drives commence early mornings and late afternoons, including a halfway stop where snacks and drinks are served in the bush. The qualified guides will share their knowledge on Namibia's flora, fauna and the variety of interesting bird species. Every game drive has its unique highlights, one of which is GocheGanas' Rhino family.
Stone Age Caverns
The owners of GocheGanas Nature Reserve made and exciting discovery of ancient stone age caverns located only a few kilometers from the Lodge. They discovered stone tools and a variety of pottery shards confirmed to be between 2000 and 9000 years old. It appears as though the natural hot water spring on GocheGanas could have been the reason for stone age humans to settle down here. A visit to the Stone Age Caverns lasts about 2 and a half hours, which includes a drive to the site and thereafter a short walk to the Caverns. On the way back to the lodge you will stop for sundowners and snacks.
