The landscape of the ranch is stupendous, and varied, with granite kopjes, bush and grass veld and tumbled mountains. There are unique features such as a Quiver tree (aloe dichotoma) forest in “the badlands”, and the table top Gamsberg Mountain overlooking the ranch. This is Namibia’s third highest mountain (2349 m) and is accompanied by Little Gamsberg mountain. Views of these mountains from the ranch house are memorable, especially the amazing sunsets. There are several dams with interesting bird life, unique plant species and a feeling of privacy in the wilderness.

The climate at the ranch ranges from freezing on winter nights to 35 degrees C on hot days. The atmosphere is considered to be the cleanest in the world and the area is famous for stargazing and astronomy. Groot Gamsberg mountain used to be leased by the famous Max Planck astronomy Foundation in Germany.
