Connect to the dawn of life



Private, quiet but not expensive, Tandala Ridge has only two chalets making it ideal for couples or families. Off the beaten path, on the D2695, Tandala Ridge is a natural stop-over between Etosha National Park and the Northwest Kunene region or the Southwest Twyfelfontein/Brandberg area. Tandala Ridge is located on Windpoort Farm where the two chalets overlook a waterhole and a vast valley of game with the hills of Etosha in the distance.

Built on a 650 million year old Stromatolite Reef, Tandala Ridge is immersed in pre-history, making a connection to the time when life on earth first began. Hike to ancient house sites littered with Paleolithic arrow points while you imagine what it was like to be a hunter-gatherer in this, amazing example of the cradle of mankind as well as the cradle of life itself.

Your hosts and owner/managers, Tim and Laurel Osborne are retired biologists and naturalists who are happy to give you their undivided attention and share with you their knowledge of the Geology, Paleontology and Biology of Windpoort Farm.
