Aru Game Lodges is operated from two stunning and well-established game farms, Veronica and Kalakwa. Bow hunters will enjoy excellent blinds.

Our pride – your hunting adventure
Take home rich memories of adventure and luxury in the African wilderness: from our two Aru Game Lodges on ranches spanning 147 500 acres, 2 hours’ drive southeast from Windhoek. Here, in two distinctly different hunting experiences, you’ll encounter an abundance of self-sustainable game, with exceptional trophies guaranteed. In the Zambezi Region (formerly Caprivi), where we hunt dangerous game, you’ll come across an incredible diversity, guided by skillful professional hunters on a tailor-made safari. Welcome to our family-run, sustainable Namibian hunting experience, where we take pride in everything we do!

THE CAPRIVI, NAMIBIA

This is Africa as it was before fences. It is part of the great KAZA landscape, where wildlife still follows ancient routes across borders.

It belongs to the elephant that moves its way through Africa, to the buffalo that graze the floodplains, and to the lion that hides and waits in the grass.
We are all just visitors here, this is where you will truly find the wild.

Your adventure awaits.

Between hosting guests at the Rhino Royale, running the lodge and taking guests on to the Caprivi for big game hunts, Danene also lobbies for the protection and conservation of the rhinos and wildlife on her properties.

Here are some behind the scenes shots of an interview for an upcoming documentary about rhinos.

For Danene, conservation isn’t a talking point. It’s part of daily life at Aru.

Every great stay has a story behind it, and at Veronica, that story is told by the people who make it happen.

Pedri & Mia, your hosts. From the moment you arrive, they’re the ones who make Veronica feel like home. They’ll sort the details, share the stories of the land, and make sure you’re exactly where you should be when the light turns golden.

Marcus, our chef. Fire, fresh ingredients, and a deep respect for where the food comes from. Marcus turns the veld-to-fork philosophy into plates worth lingering over, long after the sun has gone down.

Tobias, our bartender. The sundowner starts with him. Whether it’s a perfectly poured gin and tonic or something he’s dreamed up himself, Tobias makes sure the evening begins the right way.

And all the rest of our incredible staff. Together, they’re the heart of Aru Veronica. The landscape brings you here. The people are why you’ll want to come back.

Ethical hunting starts with fair chase

In the Kalahari, the animal always has the advantage. That's how we want it.

Across our two properties, Aru Kalakwa and Veronica, there are 147,500 hectares with no internal fences and no partitions. The only boundary is the property border itself. The wildlife moves freely, as it has for generations, and our hunters work in the same open country.

Our standards are simple and non-negotiable:
- We never hunt from a vehicle. Every hunt is done on foot.
- Walk and stalk only. It takes patience, skill and respect for the animal and the land.
- Fair chase principles. The animal has room to move and a real chance to evade the hunter.
- Animal welfare comes first. A clean, ethical shot matters more than any trophy.

Hunting done this way is a form of conservation. It gives the land a value that keeps it wild, funds anti-poaching work, and protects the habitat that wildlife depends on. Without that value, open land like this is hard to protect.

This is how we hunt, and how we will keep hunting.

The Veld to Fork Experience

At ARU, we've created a programme that invites you to step into the everyday rhythms of living off the land. Start the morning by milking a cow, then turn that fresh milk into your own cheese and cream. Learn how an animal is respectfully processed after the hunt, and discover the patient craft of harvesting wild honey straight from the hive.

Then the day comes full circle. As evening falls, take your seat at The Rhino Royale, our black-tie dining experience, for a nine-course feast of meat, fresh dairy and seasonal produce, all harvested from the land you've spent the day getting to know.

From the veld to your fork, this is a meal you'll have earned, and one you'll never forget.

Join us for the Veld to Fork Experience.
