Neighbourhood information

What to do in Otjiwarongo. The Bush Pillow offers a worthwhile tour of the town including a visit to the Crocodile Ranch, a basket weavery and a visit to the Multi Purpose Centre. We also have the Cheetah Conservation Fund to visit where you will get up close and enjoy some intercation with the "friendly" cats. A visit to Waterberg is well worth considering with Bush Pillow Guest House. We take you to the Waterberg and guide you on the Mountain View trail as well as visiting the Schutztruppe cemetry. The view from the top is absolutely amazing. You can also visit the dinosaur tracks with us. Two types of dinosaur roamed this area and we are happy to take you to the sites and show you there footprints.
