The owners are obviously only thinking profit and really don't have tourist needs at heart. Look for a better option in town and drive here to see the quiver trees unless you have to be right next to the entrance. It's a little embarrassing when guests are all looking at each other wondering who will take the last morsel of food.

The meals are actually severely rationed to the point of leaving guests hungry. The real disappointment came at dinner and breakfast. We stayed in an igloo which was fine for one night but definitely not the most comfortable of accomodations.

Is he the self-appointed guardian? Part of the stay that is free is the cheetah feeding which attracts many tourists but leaves one wondering who is really profiting from the arrangement. Fine but weird considering that the forest is just behind the property and there's no actual pay station.
We were greeted by the unprofessional and brash owner who quickly reminded us that we need to pay to enter the forest. I would suggest a wooden fence to provide more privacy and protect from the noise and dust from the road.My wife and I stayed here for one night to break a long drive and see the quiver tree forest. Giants Playground as well as attending the cheetah feedings During the day the quivertrees in the forest are special but as soon as the sun starts to set it turns into a magical place with charm that can't be described The ablution block was clean and had 2 showers and 2 toilets The water was lovely and warm There was a Zink to wash dishes and a dry rack There are 4 separate ablusion blocks about 200 meters apart We really enjoyed the shade of the veranda with cement floor linked to the ablution and took advantage of the quiet period by camping right next to the veranda The owner sells wood at R50 per bag The owner was very friendly and even provided suggestions in terms of our trip to Sossusvlei The only thing that should be improved on is the dirt coming in to the camp from the main road. We camped in our off road caravan at Quivertree Forest for 2 nights and loved every moment of it Camping was R450 per night and included unrestricted access to the quivertree Forest. And don't support cheetahs kept in captivity.… And the cheetahs? Since no one told us there were cheetahs, we didn't see them. When we returned, the cleaning crew stood outside our cabin and stared us out until we left. The next morning we went to the "forest" again for some sunrise photos, and even the birds were laughing at us because we had fallen into the tourist trap. And like many other guesthouses, there is no privacy in the bathroom, because the walls don't reach the ceiling, and you can hear everything. I went around to the reception, but no one was there. When we got back to the cabin, we realized there were no batteries in the remote control to the heater. It is located about 14 km north-east of Keetmanshoop on the road to Kos, on the Gariganus farm. We even got lost, because we couldn't see where we were going in the pitch darkness and didn't know where we had parked our car. Coordinates: 263307S 181005E Quiver tree forest Dolerite rocks and quiver trees The Quiver Tree Forest ( Kokerboomwoud in Afrikaans) is a forest and tourist attraction of southern Namibia. There are no signs, no gate, and no path. To think we paid $25 USD per person to stay after dark was ridiculous. We went to the forest at sunset, and stayed after dark. She pointed in the direction of our cabin, and said, "It's there, number 8, you can drive around to it." She was rushing to lock up and go to bed. We arrived late-ish, and all the owner/manager cared about was selling "night tickets" to the forest. You can see the same trees a few kilometers down the road and can camp along the road.
