"Wildacker" is an extensive, private game and nature reserve of more than 15,000 hectares which has been exclusively managed as such for almost 50 years. Large tree-covered, longitudinal dunes dominate the landscape. In the valleys the so-called "Vleis" planes are characteristic, forming rows, one after another. After much heavy rain the shady trees and surrounding water-filled hollows are a chief attraction for many bird species. Here and there termite hills also intersperse the landscape.

Just like the rest of Namibia it is worth a visit to "Wildacker" at any time of year. During the dry season (May-October) the arid landscape in typical African colours contrasts easily with the numerous and easy to observe animals which then assemble at the waterholes. In the rainy season (November-April) the flora blossoms and flourishes in anticipation of the rain, particularly of the first great storms. At this time of year birdwatchers especially get their money's worth.

The variety of animal species at "Wildacker" is particularly diverse. When talking about Big Game it is necessary to mention the eland antelope in particular, which here in their preferred habitat, assume large numbers. The eland is the largest type of antelope.

Besides the eland you will come across lots of giraffes, kudus, oryx- and hartebeest, wildebeest, zebras, impalas, duikers, warthogs and ostriches on the reservation. Aardvarks, ground pangolins and vervet monkeys appear less often. You will only discover the shy carnivores, including leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and the extremely rare African wild dogs if you are very lucky. African wild dogs have become particularly rare in Africa and have their last geographic range here.

Accommodation is provided in five comfortable, reed-covered bungalows either overlooking the garden or further into the bush against the backdrop of African sounds with a view over the well-visited waterhole.

The bungalows which were newly built in 2011/12 overlook private terraces and are equipped with large, modern bathroom facilities, high quality beds and bedding as well as your own mini-safe. Energy is provided around-the-clock by our eco-friendly and silent solar plant.
