The dunes
Walk out onto the red sand in the late afternoon and stay for the sunset. The colour changes by the minute.
Welcome to Munyu
Red dunes, camel thorn trees and a horizon that runs in every direction. Two small cabins, and nobody else.
Munyu is the Schoeman family farm in the Namibian Kalahari. We built two cabins here for people who want space and quiet: a place to cook your own meals, walk the dunes, watch the game come past and sit outside long after the sun goes down.
There is no programme to follow. Light the braai, pour a glass of something cold and let the evening arrive.

The cabins
Simple, bright and built for two
Both cabins share the same layout: an open bedroom with a kitchenette, an en-suite bathroom, a covered stoep that looks straight out onto the veld, and your own pool and outdoor shower. Both run entirely on solar power.

Outside your door
A shower under the camel thorn
Each cabin has its own outdoor shower behind a reed screen, beside your private pool. Rinse off the red sand after a walk on the dunes with nothing above you but branches and sky.
The cabins run entirely on solar power, so the quiet out here is real.
Days at Munyu
What to do once you've arrived
Game drives
Sable antelope graze between the camel thorns, often within sight of the cabins. A drive across the farm shows you the land and the animals that live on it.
The view
From the top of the red dune the Kalahari runs flat to the horizon. Light a fire, and watch the sun break through the clouds as it sets.
Hiking
Stargazing
Hunting by arrangement
Filmed on the farm
Your neighbours at Munyu
Sable and springbok live freely on the farm. These clips were filmed a short walk from the cabins.
Evenings at Munyu
Every evening the sky puts on a different show.
After dark
The sky does the rest
There are no city lights for a long way in any direction. On a clear night the Milky Way stretches from one side of the sky to the other.
Bring a blanket out to the stoep or walk a few minutes from the cabin into the dark. Your eyes adjust and the stars keep coming.
Your hosts
Surita and Hertie Schoeman
Munyu is our home, and we'd like it to feel a little like yours while you're here.
We've spent more than twenty years helping travellers find their way around Namibia through Aloe 4x4 Car Hire. The cabins are our way of sharing the place we love most.
Ask us about the farm, the animals or the best dune for sunset. If we can arrange it, we will.
The Munyu team
The people who look after you

The nearest town is a long drive away, so firewood, ice and braai packs are for sale on the farm.
