Leeupan Guest Farm

Immerse yourself in the vast, untamed beauty of the Kalahari at Leeupan Guest Farm. This is a wonderfully rustic and authentic campsite nestled amongst the iconic red dunes on a farm near Van Zylsrus. It is a destination for the true adventurer, a place to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the profound silence and immense, open skies of this unique semi-desert landscape. The experience here is not about polished luxury; it is about the simple, profound pleasures of a crackling campfire, a star-filled night, and a deep connection to the earth.

The camping experience is thoughtfully designed to be intimate and in harmony with the environment. You can choose between two private, named campsites. The "Springbok" site is the more intimate of the two, perfect for a small family or a couple, while the larger "Gemsbok" site is ideal for bigger groups traveling together. For convenience, tents are available for hire, and guests are welcome to use the freezer and cold room facilities at the main house. The farm dams offer a wonderfully rustic and refreshing spot to cool off after a day of exploration.

What truly defines the character of Leeupan are its unique, elemental ablutions. Here, you will find classic "open-sky showers" heated by traditional donkey boilers, offering the unforgettable experience of washing off the day's dust under the vast African sky. The farm itself is a natural playground, with 4x4 eco-trails to explore, and fantastic opportunities for game spotting and bird watching. At night, the lack of light pollution provides a breathtaking stage for some of the best stargazing you will ever witness. With a welcoming policy for small, well-behaved dogs, this is a complete and authentic Kalahari adventure.
