Ameib Gästehaus

Damaraland


At the base of the Erongo foothills, this historic guest farm offers accommodation in the farmhouse, adjacent to a landscaped pool, a lapa (a circular area with a fire pit, used for socialising) and the well-maintained campsite. Ameib Gästehaus owns the concessions on Phillips Cave, and issues permits for the sight in addition to guided hikes and day tours.

The ‘Green Hill’ Ranch was established in 1864 as a Rhenish mission station.
