Company info

🌿 About the host Welcome to Tarentaal Guest Farm – we are the Gouws family, and hosting guests is truly something we love. As two families living and working together on a cattle and sheep farm near Etosha National Park, we enjoy sharing our way of life with visitors from all over the world. For us, it is not just about accommodation – it is about creating a place where guests feel at home, relaxed, and part of something real. We especially enjoy meeting new people, hearing their travel stories, and sharing a bit of Namibia in return – whether around the dinner table, on the veranda, or under our beautiful starry skies. Many of our guests arrive as strangers and leave as friends, which is something very special to us. Piet, the owner, enjoys spending time with guests and is always happy to share his knowledge of farming, Namibia, and Etosha. He also speaks fluent German, making international visitors feel comfortable and welcome. When we are not busy hosting, we spend our time farming, cooking, gardening, and enjoying family life on the farm. We look forward to welcoming you and sharing a little piece of our world with you.
