What comes with the keys.
You run the gathering.
We hold the venue.
Book Karivo for your dates and it's yours — your programme, your people, your pace. You design and lead everything; we coordinate the venue side and hand you somewhere unforgettable, ready.
And not only retreats: the lodge holds creative residencies, digital‑nomad seasons, writing weeks and team gatherings just as naturally — any group that needs space, silence and wild ground.
Here's what makes it rare: most wild venues in Namibia are hours of rough road away. Karivo is 40 minutes from the international airport — your guests land, and within the hour they're standing in true wilderness.
- Exclusive use of the lodge and land for your dates
- 18 rooms with savannah views — up to 36 guests
- Shala for practice, terrace with 360° views, pool and quiet corners
- All venue coordination handled through us — one point of contact
- Optional add‑ons and experiences — arranged through us, see below
Room for up to 36 guests.
| Room type | Count | Beds | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Panorama rooms | 9 | Double — single or shared | Balcony and open savannah views — where retreat guests stay. |
| Garden rooms | 7 | Two single beds | Ground floor, simple and quiet — available for larger groups. |
Not listed above: two further double rooms, always set aside for you and your co‑facilitators. And exclusive use means exclusive: during your dates, no other guests are on the property — every room, the shala, the terrace, the pool and 3,000 hectares are yours alone.
Add more wild.
Every experience beside can be woven into your retreat — organised entirely through us, so there's no extra logistics on your side. Prices available on request.
And for groups who want more than the lodge: tour extensions — before or after your retreat, through Namibia's wildest places. Dunes, ancient rock, night skies. One booking, and your guests carry Namibia home with them.
