Cave
One- to five-hour walking trails meander across the farm, and the Ghaub Cave excursion explores the third-largest cave in Namibia, 38 m in depth with 2.5 km of chambers and passageways. Declared a national monument, the cave is a slippery, rock-clambering opportunity to experience ancient underworld growth. Stalactites and stalagmites glimmer and glow in their solidified water journeys. I am told that it takes a hundred years for one centimetre of stalactite to grow and realise that I’m seeing millions of years of rock history. Roots of camel-thorn trees hang down and water droplets seep into the underground cavern, glistening against the ancient rock.
The caves can only be visited with a guide and it takes between 1 to 2 hours. It is best to wear hiking boots. The entrance is a hole in the ground and there are low hanging rocks .
It is warm and humid underground and not recommended for people who suffer from claustrophobia
Below the guest rooms, a large clear swimming pool lies towards the border of the extensive lawn, with a nearby hide overlooking a small waterhole, where warthog and kudu regularly come to drink. The huge grounds and natural setting makes Ghaub an idyllic venue for a wedding, as well as a restful stop for both individual travellers and small groups.
