FARMING

Our aim is to farm as natural as possible. Our main project is growing moringa trees also called the wondertree. But we also grow several vegetables and we have some chickens.

What an amazing, beautiful place! Back to nature, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet. The chalets are very comfortable and well-equipped. I stayed in Hans, where I could see the moon and stars while lying in bed.
In the morning, I loved having breakfast on my private veranda while the sun rose, listening to all the birds and sounds of nature. If you’re lucky, you might even see elephants passing by!
Katja and Peter have created a paradise, and I felt so welcome. All guests are very well taken care of and can rely on their excellent service. Words cannot describe the place and the atmosphere… You have to see it for yourself. The location is just incredible and so spacious.
You feel like you are in the middle of nowhere—a perfect place to recharge and connect with nature. Phazama Farm is a gem in the Okavango Delta. Many thanks to Peter and Katja!

What a surprise to have our best indoor accommodation experience in Botswana during our last two days before heading home! Our chalet, Mia, offered fantastic privacy and a lovely view over a vast grassland. Nestled under trees with mosquito net walls, it stayed cool even in the heat. We enjoyed meals on the outdoor terrace and took lovely walks along the paths connecting the chalets.

The area was teeming with birds, and we spotted a bushbaby at night and a duiker in the morning. While not ideal for focused game viewing, this spot provided a rare opportunity to walk and truly enjoy the African nature. The chalet had everything we needed, allowing us to feel like we were living in Botswana, not just traveling.

It was a perfect romantic getaway, and I can imagine it would be great for families, too. Phazama offers an unbeatable blend of remoteness and comfort—ideal for starting your journey or relaxing after game watching. It was simply perfect!

Beautiful location in the Okavango Delta. In the middle of nature. Nice drive past villages from Maun. ideal to relax after a hike.

Very quiet and very cozy place in the middle of nature. Katja and Peter received us wonderfully, and the cottage was fully equipped. If you have a 4×4 car and drive well on sandy tracks it is an ideal place to rest for a few days.

I stayed at Phazama farm with Katja and Peter. I just wanted to visit their beautiful place for a couple of days but ended up staying a few weeks. The location, on the flood plain, is just incredible. You are in the middle of nature, where it is peaceful and quiet. Having breakfast while the moneys, squirrels are watching you from the trees above. Every day it was a new adventure as to which animals would visit, and they are many. It is the perfect place to relax / unwind and enjoy nature. Their guesthouses are just beautiful, all located away from each other so that you have the feeling that you are on your own. Katja and Peter really make you feel at home and I will certainly come back!

Originally booked in 2020, we were finally able to stay at Phazama Farm in the summer of 2022, due to the pandemic. Beforehand the communication with Katja and Peter was good, and she sent us clear directions to the Farm. Our four-wheel-drive car was a necessity! But once there, we ‘landed’ in what we felt was the heart of Botswana. From our comfortable cabin with all the amenities needed we could see and hear the troop of monkeys trekking past in the mornings, we heard the birds and we sat and watched the sunrise on the deck. The very first morning Peter came and collected us (a family of four, with two teenage girls), to see the elephants ON the property!

Katja helped us with the planning of activities in the vicinity and because of her and Peter’s connections we were able to spend the day on a game drive that was the best drive ever, seeing no other humans, just experiencing the bush and all its animals.
We were sorry to leave this small scaled, peaceful and comfortable part of Botswana after a few days. We can thoroughly recommend this place to anyone who wishes to visit Botswana ‘off the beaten track’ and who is looking for some quiet time in the middle of nature.

The bush location was just what we expected and was unique. There were also elephants on the property during the night. Accommodation was newly constructed and appropriate for the setting. Peter and Katja were great hosts.

The location was very quiet and private. The stay was peaceful and allowed us to relax and recharge. The farm is a little drive from town and a 4×4 is needed. Kids enjoyed the drive.

I stayed here with my husband and two children for four nights. What a beautiful place! We stayed in a chalet, everything was very spacious and complete. It was great: waking up and watching the sun rise from a lovely bed, a nice bathroom, showering as if you were standing outside, a good kitchen and outside the braai and fire pit. An extra tent with stretchers was set up for the kids. Also there was a (good!) WiFi platform within walking distance from our chalet. The children were very happy with the good WiFi! Phazama Farm is having your own place in the middle of nature, how relaxt with only the sounds of nature around you. Peter and Katja are wonderful, they give you good tips and are very hospitable. We really enjoyed it !!

The warm hearty feeling I got when I arrived at the farm carried thru till we said our goodbyes, peace and tranquillity resonates in the air with the back track of African safari sounds. The hosts are friendly and gave the farm a homely finish. Thank you for the experience

Dear Katja and Peter, we had the privilege of being the first guests to stay in one of your self-catering chalets. What a wonderful chalet, equipped with all we needed and very luxuriously furnished. It has a well-equipped kitchen where you can prepare a delicious meal, enough storage space for your belongings, a great bathroom with a wonderful hot shower. The bed is very good and has a good mattress, we slept well and long. From our bed we could look at the beautiful African stars and sunset.
The chalet has a nice terrace so that you can enjoy the beautiful landscape. It has a fire pit including firewood for a nice fire during chilly evenings. Your own picnic table with “braai” to prepare a great steak.
The chalet offers a lot of privacy and is in a beautiful setting. At night you have a chance to encounter deer, porcupines, aardvarks and genets. Thanks to the night camera from Katja and Peter we were able to admire these animals.
The hosts are very hospitable and helpful. They arranged a helicopter flight for us, in one word: Super !!! We also made a camping trip and have seen the Big 5. What a fantastic trip that was!
We have spent a week with you, but that should have been much longer for us.
We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything!!

Out in the open, far away from the city of Maun. Be prepared for a rough ride to get there, but its absolutely worth it. Hosts are super kind.

Have a look at this video from Inge and Bart visiting our farm January 2023.
“Traveling for me is also a great opportunity to reconnect with people. Katja Visser and I worked years ago together in woman empowerment & social enterprise & when I started my minifarm in the Netherlands she & Peter started their farm. At the edge of the okavango delta we reconnected at Phazama-farm. Wow, what a soulful place for relaxing, bushwalks, and to see the delta from the air. Amazing to see what Katja and Peter have build, beautiful bushhouses to stay for 4×4 travellers and also to see their start-up moringa farm project, training facility for their empowerment & leadership programs and all with amazing views. Who knows in future times we create another empowering product or training together. For now just enjoying the experience with these beautiful people.” Inge Hoogerheiden
