Begin Your Enquiry
Southern Cross is a private safari estate in Namibia's Kunene Region, spanning approximately 17,000 hectares of plains, granite mountains and water.
It is not a conventional lodge. The reserve is received one family or one group at a time, and that singular decision changes everything. For the duration of a stay, one steps into a private world — with all the ease, freedom and quiet privilege that such seclusion affords.
Forty kilometres north of Kamanjab on the road toward Opuwo, Southern Cross lies in one of Namibia's most sought-after wildlife regions. At its northern edge, the reserve meets the greater Etosha system — the rare experience of staying on a private farm with the sense of being part of something far larger.
Each residence has its own character — but all are part of a broader experience of exclusive-use safari living.
