Hardap Recreation Resort
The dam is the main attraction for the majority of visitors, but
tourists often arrive late in the afternoon and leave early the
following morning without exploring the game park.
Perched on the edge of the cliffs along the northern banks of the dam,
most of the bungalows overlook the huge artificial lake, while there is
also a magnificent view over the water mass from the restaurant. To
ensure that the buildings blend in with its surroundings, stone from the
area was not only incorporated in the face-brick exterior of the
bungalows, but also used for terracing and stone walls.
DIRECTIONS:
A signpost on the B1 15 km north of Mariental indicates the turnoff to
Hardap. From the turnoff it is 6 km to the entrance gate, with the
resort office being 2, 5 km further on.
