An enchanting atmosphere
In the heart of the Namibian bush, Sney Rivier Lodge spoils its guests with luxury of the highest standard. The lodge was newly built in 2009 with the concept of combining exclusivity and exciting hunting experiences in the wilderness. Nestled in the landscape at the foot of the Khomas Highlands, Sney Rivier Lodge presents its unique ambience: the architecture and interior design of the lodge create an intimate relationship with nature and hunting. The boundaries between indoors and outdoors are fluid. A wonderful destination – not only for hunters.
An oasis of calm
Throughout the lodge, there are cozy places where you can enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of this beautiful location with a cup of coffee or a cool drink. Stylish furnishings and natural architecture combine here to create a true oasis of well-being. Whether you are returning from a hunt or simply want to enjoy a day of wellness, everyone at Sney Rivier Lodge is looking forward to making your stay a pleasure. You will stay in your own chalet equipped with a mini pool. It also serves as an ideal retreat during the day if you are looking for peace and quiet. Natural materials create an incomparable flair in both the interior and exterior design.
An impressive view
Within sight of the main house and guest chalets is a waterhole where a wide variety of wildlife can be found around the clock. Enjoy ever-changing, surprising sights. Whether you sit around the campfire in the evening or experience the early morning on the terrace of your chalet, the diverse moods of Namibian nature will remain unforgettable.
Let yourself be pampered
A hearty breakfast will fortify you for the day's adventures. We provide you with packed lunches and drinks for your excursions. At lunchtime and when you return in the evening, first-class, varied cuisine awaits you. Relax after the hunt with soothing massages and herbal treatments. Treat yourself to some time out and immerse yourself in the pleasant atmosphere of the spa.
Hunting – every day an adventure
Hunting challenges are guaranteed on the 30,000-hectare hunting ground – from exciting stalking to sitting in a hide on one of the countless rocky hills. At Sney Rivier, off-road vehicles are used exclusively for driving to the starting point of the stalk or for recovering game that has been shot. This allows you to experience hunting in its most original form.
Professionally guided
Our hunting guides and trackers do everything they can to ensure your success as a hunter. As experts in the flora and fauna, they can show you many of the special features of Namibia's nature. The focus of the hunt is on stalking oryx, mountain zebra, springbok, white-tailed and blue wildebeest, hartebeest, and warthog. In addition, kudu, eland, impala, waterbuck, blesbok, duiker, leopard, cheetah, caracal, klipspringer, steenbok, baboon, and jackal can also be hunted. Our professional hunters know the hunting area inside out and know where the best opportunities are. A professionally equipped shooting range allows shooting at distances of up to 400 meters.
The finest equipment
Want to travel with as little luggage as possible? No problem, because at Sney Rivier Lodge you can hire modern hunting rifles, first-class optics, and other practical equipment.
Always a good shot
Test shooting is mandatory before the hunt. When using a rental rifle you will become thoroughly familiar with the rifle, so that nothing stands in the way of your hunting success. Shotgun shooters will also get their money's worth if they wish. The specially designed hunting course on the lodge grounds is both varied and challenging.
Biodiversity
The entire region around the Khomas Highlands is characterized by hilly and partly mountainous landscapes and conveys the charm of the Namibian bush. It is famous for its abundance of game and impressive trophies. Thanks to this abundance of game, the territory of the Sney Rivier Lodge is also a preferred hunting ground for leopards. They are extremely secretive, but with a little luck you may be able to observe these big cats hunting.
Rare species
We are particularly proud of our white rhinos, as we support the population with our own conservation program. The nyala and roan antelope are rather rare in southern Africa and very adept at keeping themselves hidden.
The land of endless expanses
Namibia is more than twice the size of Germany. Endless expanses and varied landscapes impress visitors from Europe in particular, as Namibia is sparsely populated and largely unspoiled.
The Sney Rivier Lodge is located just a two-hour drive northwest of Windhoek. In the language of the South West Africans, Rivier means “riverbed.” As it rarely rains in Namibia, the riverbeds are almost always dry. When the long-awaited rain finally comes – usually between February and April – the land blossoms with new greenery.
We warmly welcome you to Sney Rivier
Whether you are traveling alone or with your family, Sney Rivier Lodge is an ideal destination that meets the highest standards. Of course, we will not only pick you up from Windhoek Airport, but we will also be happy to organize special excursions for you, for example to Swakopmund or Walvis Bay. We look forward to your visit.
