Dqae Qare Lodge

Dqae Qare Lodge, home to Kuru Dance Festival is located inside a farm owned and managed by the San community of D’Kar.

There, wooden curved signs direct one to the reception. On the opposite is a garden thatched roof balcony that, according to the management, is used as a serving point for refreshments and meals.  The lawn beautifies the front view of the L-shaped combination of the reception and guest rooms.  Established in 1993, following an arrangement by the Dutch and Netherlands Development Association to purchase the farm for the San people, the lodge has managed to generate its own sustainable income.

With its colonial era architecture the lodge’s magnificent structures are accompanied by a camping site of which has ablution under camel thorns.  You would not have completed your tour of the campsite without having a glimpse of the San traditional village; about seven minutes walk from the lodge. Dqae Qare Lodge has seven en-suite rooms, four traditional Basarwa Huts and other options for different tastes.
