The 260km2 Vogelstrausskluft Reserve was formed in 2001 with the view to re-naturalise three former sheep and goat farms situated in the Fish River Canyon area. Vogelstrausskluft Lodge was built close to the site of the old Vogelstrausskluft farmhouse.
No one in the Expert Africa team has visited this lodge yet, but here is some information on what we know of it so far.
The lodge is built on the rise of a small hill, overlooking a grassy valley below. Here one of the few waterholes in the area can be found which attracts a variety of antelope, ostrich and mountain zebra.
Each of the thatched chalets have a small private patio and overlook the valley below. All are en-suite and air-conditioned. At the centre of the lodge is the restaurant where breakfast, lunch and a buffet style dinner is served. As well as a lounge and bar there is a large mahogany deck including a small pool where you can relax and enjoy the impressive views.
The Fish River Canyon takes on a variety of forms. As well as the deep gorge found further south there are the surrounding plateaus, the canyon rim and the canyon plains which are littered with small, yet deep, fissures and interesting rock formations. All these environments can be visited and explored from Vogelstrausskluft Lodge on short drives, guided walks and full day trips including a picnic lunch.
