Aranos property guide

Aranos at a glance

Aranos, situated between the dunes of the Kalahari Desert is mostly surrounded by farms. It was first proclaimed a village in 1958, and it received its status as a town in September 2010.

The majestic Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park lies to the east of Aranos and sprawls over the Botswana and South African borders approximately 130 km away. The Nossob river basin also forms an integral part of Aranos as it passes through the semi-arid desert via Botswana and South Africa.

Aranos is surrounded by commercial farms which are mostly privately owned. Most farms are sheep, goats, and cattle farms. The Namibia National Meat Producers has an abattoir in Aranos where animals are prepared and exported to the South African and EU markets.

For tourists, Aranos currently only has two local facilities namely the Aranos Hotel and Blue Bull Lodge both situated in town. The surrounding farms however have some established accommodation facilities for the hunting season. On these farms various activities are offered, like bird viewing, hunting, game viewing, horse riding, and many more for visitors and bookings can be made online. Some examples are the Uitspan Hunting Ranch which is about half a kilometer from the Botswana border and the GoedeHoop Hunting Safari on the farm Goede Hoop.
