Stampriet Historical Guesthouse sits on a gentle rise above Stampriet village in the Kalahari, in a stone building filled with antique décor and historical artefacts. Gardens fed by underground water bring ponds, birdlife and shaded lawns, with a pool for the afternoons and a wooden deck for sundowners. Cakes come home-baked from the coffee shop, and the art studio runs painting and clay-modelling sessions (beginners welcome). Mariental is about 60 kilometres away, which makes it an easy stopover on the way to Kgalagadi.




Painting or modelling clay in an art studio, then sundowners on a wooden deck above the village.
