Norotshama River Resort is situated in the far south of Namibia on the Aussenkehr farms in the Karas Region, directly on the banks of the Orange River. Nestled within the fertile Aussenkehr Grape Valley, the resort creates a striking contrast to the surrounding semi-desert landscape along the border between Namibia and South Africa. The history of the resort is closely linked to the development of the Aussenkehr Valley. The name “Norotshama” originates from a nearby mountain and is derived from a local indigenous language.
