Area Information:Situated in what is known as the Green Kalahari, the picturesque town of Keimoes lies just 40 km southwest of Upington on the N14.
Although the origin of the town's name remains unresolved, it makes for great folklore. It is believed that the name came either from the Nama Khoe words 'gei' - meaning large and 'mus' meaning fountain or perhaps from Klaas Lukas, the legendary Koranna Khoe leader who had established a village on the river banks prior to white settlers moving in who named the village Keimoes meaning 'mouse nest' in his own language. This due to the vast colonies of mice in the area.
Braai/barbecue facilities, swimming in the river or an outdoor pool on-site, bird-watching, fishing and fly-fishing, site-seeing, walking, jogging, canoeing/kayaking, squash.
For the comfort of our guests, iKaia River Lodge is a strictly non smoking accommodation establishment except for certain demarcated outside guest areas.

Keimoes Reviews
Die verrassing langs die pad! Tkabies is skoon en pragtig. Als en meer wat ons nodig gehad het. Dorien het heerlike vars roosterkoeke met tuisgemaakte druiwe konfyt te koop gehad. Ons was ook bevoorreg om met ons terugkeer weer daar te kon tuisgaan waar sy ons gesê het hul slag en ons kon reël vir 'n heerlike gemarineerde Lams ribbetjie wat ons self kon braai, weer met heerlike roosterkoeke. Glasie wyn, son wat sak oor die druiwe wingerd terwyl die sproeiers fyn sproei uitspuit....... Bàie dankie, ons sal dit nie vergeet nie!
Small town...quiet.
Centrally situated to access the area.
