Alte Kalkofen Lodge

Situated between Namibian towns of Keetmanshoop & Lüderitz, the lodge is the perfect central base for planning trips to surrounding attractions like the famous Fish River Canyon. Rich flora also calls all intrepid botanists (and novice onlookers alike), to come and marvel at the natural beauty of this region. 

The lodge is well known for its fascinating collection of Lithops (Cole Lithoparium), also known as “Flowering Stones”. We proudly host the biggest registered collection of Lithops in Namibia.

Alte Kalköfen sleeps 24 guests in total and is perfect for weddings and functions! Honeymooners too, are made extremely welcome and love the tranquillity and romance offered by our picturesque location.
