WELCOME Midgard Country Estate is located 85 km north-east of Windhoek, and only 70 km from Hosea Kutako International Airport, in the unspoilt Otjihavero Mountains. An ideal family hide away, first or last stop for international visitors and the perfect venue for intimate meetings, team building events or weddings. Carl List, the founder of the Namibian Corporation, Ohlthaver & List, acquired Midgard Country Estate in 1937. Our guests are invited to enjoy the tranquility of the property while marvelling at the pioneering German Settler spirit which gave birth to it all. "Midgard", a word found in Old Norse, Middle English and High German languages, has varying meanings, but is popularly thought to mean "A paradise where the earth rises again, fertile and green, creating a protected world and a safe empire for the people". It's an intimate world of its own. One which offers 46 newly decorated and fully equipped rooms, Carl's Dining Room & Bar, the African Boma, two swimming pools, the Pool Bar & BBQ Terrace, gym and sauna, and private skittle alley (kegelbahn). These are all spaciously situated in a sprawling country garden, bordering the banks of the Swakop River, as it meanders through the estate on its way to the Atlantic Ocean. ACTIVITIES AND ATTRACTIONS Guests can soak up the ambience and enjoy doing absolutely nothing or explore hiking and mountain trails, drive along 4x4 tracks, play volleyball, tennis, table tennis or outdoor chess, stargaze and view our vintage automobile collection. One of the estate's major attractions is a sundowner drive to Hilltop, where guests can enjoy a stunning 360° view over the Otjihavero Mountains and watch the sun set with sundowners in hand. They also get to experience what life was like on a traditional Namibian Farming and Game Estate in years gone by, with a morning or afternoon nature game drive through the separate 2000 ha nature reserve, along the Swakop River. Wildlife found here include giraffe, blue and black wildebeest, oryx, kudu, hartebeest, eland, warthog, baboon and smaller antelope species such as steenbok. The riverfront is a birder's paradise. CONFERENCE ROOMS There are a variety of venues to choose from for groups ranging from twenty to one hundred and fifty people, depending on the function and preferred seating style. Business hours of reception: Every day: from 00:00 to 00:00 .
