The house was built in 1943 in Outjo. It was initially used as horse stables, horse shoe repair shop and as car repair shop.
The owner, Mr. David Schrader removed his horses and transformed the stables to an Inn.
The Inn was used as as stop over for farmers attending auctions or carried out their monthly shopping.
In 1990 the Inn was transformed into a school and accommodated pupils from the newly found Moria Private School.
The Inn's rooms acted as hostel for boys, while the house was used for the girls. The other buildings were used
as class rooms. Due to the school's popularity, the school had to purchase bigger fascilities. They moved to the Onduri
Hotel in 1997. The Labuschagne family purchased the old school and transformed it into backpackers accommodation,
called Outjo Backpackers.
In 2001, Dr. Keith Legget, owner of the Northwest desert dwelling elephant and giraffe project, purchased the
backpackers. The buildings were used as research station, while the backpackers accommodation continued to exist.
The current owners, Deon and Jaenny van Zyl purchased the establisment in 2008. The van Zyl's renovated the buildings
and landscaped the garden. Outjo backpackers was renamed Kai-Oms, sticking to Namibian heritage.
The Northwest desert dwelling elephant and giraffe project is still found on the premises and run by Dr. Legget.
