Tarentaal Guest Farm is situated 35 km from the southern gate of the Etosha National Park and is an ideal place to stay for visitors to the park.

Tarentaal Guest Farm has 6 rooms plus one guide room, modishly decorated in African safari-style, adjoin an open dining room where meals are enjoyed with a panoramic view of the surroundings.
