!Uris Safari
Lodge is located 20 kilometres west of the town
of Tsumeb - a legacy of being a mineral
fascination.
Surrounded by the ancient
Lake Otjikoto and the famous wildlife
conservation area, Etosha National Park, !Uris
Safari Lodge also attracts tourists en-route to
the Kunene-, Kaokoland and Southern Angola.
For visitors with an interest in gemstones and
minerals !Uris Safari Lodge borders a number of
historic German and Artesian mines namely Alt
Bobos, Karavatu, Omeg II and Uris. They resemble
trails "in the footsteps of the diggers" who,
over one hundred and twenty years ago spent
their days in the relentless Namibian sunshine
exploring the possibilities of mining precious
minerals to satisfy the needs of Europe.
As
one drives through this raw and unspoiled land
one can see the remains of stripped mine
headgear and other remnants relating to the old
mining operations on lime rock and dolomite
formations, established in days gone by. Modern
day Bushmen will greet you from their homes,
inquisitive of intruders in their quiet lives.
