Sam's Giardino - the Philosophy behind the Giardino Hospitality

Sam's Giardino - Philosophy: Background

Next: Environ- ment

The Giardino was designed around the needs and expectations of foreign individual travellers to Africa. It also became the realisation of the dream of its creator, Samuel Egger, to merge the best facets of two worlds - the space, freedom, soulfulness and magnificent scenery of Namibia and the legendary hospitality of Switzerland that embraces the art of savour vivre, of living a joyful, stimulating and fulfilling life in every respect, and of sharing it with others.
The Giardino holds all these qualities to those who appreciate the opportunities it provides for creating their very own holiday experience that nurtures mind, body and soul.
All the amenities at the Giardino are therefore not just serving the purpose of providing guests with basic facilities regarding lodging, catering and entertainment but they are a thoughtful composition of conveniences and attention catching features.

These create an atmosphere of understated sophistication coupled with cordial hospitality and an inspiring diversity of options; they leave guests with choices in how to let each day's activities and relaxation periods unfold in tune with their individual needs and moods. They encourage to break away from the familiar, if not boring routines of every-day life, which opens up the road to reconnecting with the inner self and the people closest to us.

The attention to detail present in all of the Giardino's amenities is almost impossible to document in detail in these pages but can only be fully appreciated through personal experiences.
