"Oppiklippe" (Afrikaans for on the rocks) is the name of our venture to combine some tourist accommodation with our wildlife
farm - named 'Petersburg' after the Russian city by the original German settlers. This presents an opportunity for tourists to come in contact with a Namibian farm and its people. Petersburg
forms part of the Etosha Conservancy and is mainly used for farming with eland.
Oppiklippe is situated near Outjo the "Gateway to Etosha". The details of what you can expect are listed below.
