A little History
The farm Yakandonga is situated on a 5,300 Ha peace of land with a rich
history, starting from the Colonial German time, and the German/Herero wars.
During this time it was used as German army base. The main farm house used to be a
German Fort, where the German troops stayed. The last German
Family that lived here was the De Vries family.
But for the past 35 yrs Yakandonga is in family hands and have been
managed and developed into one of Namibia's better lodges. The
farm is mainly bushfeld area and is proclaimed a private nature
reserve with more than 17 Game species and an abundance of bird
life.
