Discover the Beauty of Namibia
Midgard Country Estate, situated in the heart of Namibia, stands as an ideal family retreat, a welcoming stop for international visitors, and a versatile venue for intimate gatherings, team-building events, or memorable weddings. Steeped in history, the estate was initially cultivated in 1937 by Carl Werner List, who transformed the sprawling 12,000-hectare property into the iconic destination it is today.
Guests at Midgard have the privilege of immersing themselves in tranquillity while admiring the resilient spirit of the pioneering German Settlers that shaped this haven. The name “Midgard,” drawn from Old Norse, Middle English, and High German languages, is widely interpreted as “A paradise where the earth rises again, fertile and green, creating a protected world and a safe empire for the people.”
Midgard Country Estate offers 94 fully equipped rooms, providing a comfortable and diverse range of accommodations.
