With 25 different wildlife species located on a 6000 hectare Nature Reserve, game drives and walking activities are welcomed as an enriching experience. Wellness facilities and treatments of a world class standard ensure a renewal of mind, body and spirit.


GocheGanas today announced that it has received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award. The accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide.  Establishments awarded the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website.

When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings.  Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business’ tenure and popularity ranking on the site.

“Winning the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is a true source of pride for the entire team at GocheGanas and we’d like to thank all of our past guests who took the time to complete a review on TripAdvisor,” said Udo Stritter, Managing Director at GocheGanas. “There is no greater seal of approval than being recognised by one’s customers. With the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on customer reviews, the accolade is a remarkable vote of confidence to our business and our continued commitment to excellence.”

“TripAdvisor is pleased to honour exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence,” said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business. “The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor travellers a great customer experience.”


Thank you to all of those that have visited GocheGanas and have taken the time to review our establishment on TripAdvisor. We truly appreciate your contribution.

We would also like to congratulate all those involved in making GocheGanas the success it is today!

10 Years GocheGanas Nature Reserve and Wellness Village



The vision of the family STRITTER, to create a unique 
destination, started during the early 80’s.
For many years the family travelled though the contrast rich Namibia, searching for the perfect place. Only in 1997 the “Place of Camel-Thorns, abounding with Candle-Pod-Acacias” was found: 
GocheGanas
It took many years and a lot of effort to establish the 6000 hectare Nature Reserve. Subsequently the lodge was planned and the doors opened in February 2004.


A vision started to materialize . . .

. . . and it wasn’t all that easy finding the right spot in the land of contrasts.


Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified.




Our business and family is not a result but a constant reminder why we must celebrate this success we've built out of passion. 












Thank you everybody for celebrating our anniversary and making it so memorable.
