Mopane Roots – Aquariums
Mopane Roots are hard and heavy and therefore sink easily to the bottom of any aquarium. Certain fish like to feed off the wood. It is a pretty wood and due to each piece being completely different and unique from the next, Mopane Roots are an exquisite addition to any aquarium. Mopane Roots give off a reddish-brown colour to the water and it does not affect the pH levels of the tank. In fact Mopane Roots actually soften the water, making aquariums containing this wood ideal habitats for almost any fish or tropical aquatic creature. Excellent at reducing pH and softening water, it can be identified by its distinctive solid structure, bi-tone colours and nobule like growths that protrude from its lengths. Mopane is a stronger wood and an excellent supportive base for more intricate plants or driftwoods.
Mopane Roots – Vivariums
Mopane wood is a relatively heavy and robust wood type, which is perfect for Vivariums and Terrariums, offering reptiles plenty of climbing and hiding space. It is treated to ensure that all natural parasites that would hide in or on the wood, have been removed. This ensures that the Mopane Roots you purchase for your Vivariums and Terrariums, are healthy products and safe for your reptiles.

Charcoal
The Charcoal sold by Namibian Hardwood Pty Ltd. is made from the invader/alien species such as various Acacia and other hardwoods. Mupane, however, is the best wood to use to make Charcoal, as it burns the longest, and it also makes the heaviest coal. It is not suitable for indoor fireplaces, especially fireplaces without covers, as the coal makes small shooting pieces and when hot, will ‘jump’ and land on carpets. Charcoal is only sold in 5kg and 10kg bags. The 10kg bags are sold to the restaurant trade and the 5kg sold for domestic braais. The 5kg bags are sifted at 20-50mm, and the 10kg are sifted from 50mm and higher, meaning all our bags will contain maximum sized Charcoal pieces of 180mm pieces. Please bear in mind that due to transportation, Charcoal may break into smaller pieces.
Briquettes
Namibian Hardwood Pty Ltd. Briquettes are made of Charcoal fines less than 20mm, which is then compressed into a round ball. Briquettes are mainly used for cooking in a Weber. The process of making Briquettes is quite intensive, and as a result they are generally more expensive than wood. However, as they are compact, they are able to be packaged better and Briquette pieces fit easily into any space.
Firelighters
Firelighters are made from paraffin and chopped Apricot kernels. Firelighters are small solid tablets and were designed to replace Kindling/Firestarter in starting a fire. Firelighters are typically used to start wood or coal fires.
Firestarters/Kindling Wood
The Kindling/Firestarter wood sold by Namibian Hardwood Pty Ltd. is a combination of all our braai woods, chopped into finer pieces. Kindling/Firestarter wood is perfect for starting your braai and many people use them for their indoor fireplaces.

PREMIUM WOOD PELLETS
Premium Wood Pellets are compressed wood. The idea that wood makes a great fuel source is ancient, but pellet manufacturers are transforming the process to make wood burn more cleanly and efficiently. Much of the pellet material comes from waste sawdust, shavings, and chips remaining after lumber production; this waste is then compacted into small, dense pellets, which burn more efficiently than other forms of wood. Their size and weight makes them easier to transport and store than traditional wood logs. It is a clean burning source of fuel, which contains no bark. It is suitable for automated feeding combustion stoves as well as industrial boilers. It is 6mm in size.
ECO LOGS
Eco Logs are an all wood product that is simply clean, dry sawdust and shavings that have been mechanically compressed to form a solid log. They offer many benefits over natural firewood because they are a manufactured product, i.e. they are subject to stringent quality controls during production. They can be safely used as a concentrated fuel source in all open fireplaces, wood burning heaters, combustion stoves and industrial boilers. As there are no chemicals, additives or binders used to hold the logs together, they can also be used as BBQ fuel.
ANTHRACITE
Anthracite is a hard, compact variety of coal that has a submetallic lustre. It has the highest carbon content, the fewest impurities, and the highest calorific content of all types of coal except for graphite. Anthracite is the highest rank of coal. It has a carbon content of over 87% on a dry ash-free basis. Anthracite coal generally has the highest heating value per ton on a mineral matter free basis. It is used mostly for manufacturing processes such as plastics, roofing, linoleum, synthetic rubber, insecticides, paint products, medicines, solvents and synthetic fibres. Please note this fuel is not a braai fuel. It is very popular for enclosed fireplaces.
Blesbok
Blesbok is a dark red meat with a unique wild game taste and the flavour should never be masked. It is used mainly in bredies and potjies. Due to its unique taste and texture, Blesbok makes a supreme Tartare and an excellent Carpaccio. Hamburger patties and meatballs never tasted this good.
Blou/Blue Wildebeest
Blou/Blue Wildebeest has a robust texture but is extremely low in fat and very tender. It can be cooked in variety of ways whilst still retaining its taste. It is great for bredies and potjies and a well hung fillet is a winner cooked on the fire and served medium to rare.
Eland
Eland meat is a low fat red meat and very juicy and tender. Steaks should be served medium to rare. The meat contains half the calories of Beef and 6x less fat. Well known dishes are rump, sirloin steaks and stroganoff cuts of meat for gourmet dishes. It is also great for making bobotie and meatballs.
Gemsbok/Oryx
Oryx or Gemsbok meat is the superior meat choice. It is tender and smooth in texture, and can be used in many traditional beef recipes. It is an excellent choice for steaks and goulash and makes a wonderful and delicious sausage.
Goat
Goat is an extremely tender and tasty meat that works perfectly when cooked slowly. It is comparable to Lamb and Beef, but can sometimes have a subtle game flavour. It is often used to make a delicious curry.
Impala
Impala is a red meat very low in fat and has a medium grain texture. The meat is tender and should be served medium to rare. An assortment of dishes, are made from Impala, including roast leg or shoulder casseroles, steaks, rib rack, potjies and bredies. Impala also makes a wonderful schnitzel.

Warthog
Warthog is a succulent low fat choice of meat. It compares favourably with other pork type meats but contains preferred fatty acids. It can be used in a variety of dishes, and is an excellent choice for making salami and an assortment of sausages. Unlike normal pork, warthog is darker in colour and the skin cannot be eaten.
Zebra
Zebra meat is a beautiful deep red colour, has a medium grain and deliciously subtle game flavours. It is a very healthy meat, being lower in fact, low in cholesterol and high in protein. Be careful not to overcook this superb meat as it is very low in fat.
Sekelbos
Sekelbos is an alien pest in Namibia. Rainfall determines how thick the tree will be. We import it because the quality is so much better than the local Spicebush. Sekelbos burns hot with big high red/orange vibrant flames. It is a clean burning wood with a very distinctive smell when burning, and is fantastic for naturally adding flavour to your meat while it cooks. For this very reason, a number of clients buy the bark of the Sekelbos. The coals burn long and outlast Rooikrans for 3-4 hours while still maintaining their heat. Sekelbos with all its flavour, passionate and colourful flames is by far the best selling wood.
Kameeldoring
Kameeldoring is a hardwood and due to its density is considered an Iron Wood. Iron Wood has a density of 936 p-m3 and more, and as these woods are protected species, they are illegal to harvest and transport whilst alive. (The woods sold at Namibian Hardwood Pty Ltd. are legal and their density is within the lawful requirements.) Kameeldoring has a red/orange flame and is tamer than its wild counterpart Sekelbos. Once you’ve got this fire kindled and on the go, expect to spend the rest of your evening being ‘transported’ to the bushveld, as the wonderful wild smell of this wood drifts across the air. Kameeldoring is wonderful for those evenings where you want to socialise and catch up with friends and family. It burns longer than Sekelbos and since the coals last longer, there’s time to eat and enjoy the company of loved ones.
Mupane
The Mupane Tree can live between 800 to 2500 years before it dies and falls over. They are an extremely hardwood and even termites avoid eating them. The reason they may die earlier is due to natural causes such as lightning or drought Mupane trees love growing between rocks and on mountains. They are considered a weed and a problem in Namibia. The problem in Namibia is so great that approximately 35 000 tons of alien wood is exported out of Nambia every month, and nearly 80% of this wood is used to make Charcoal. It is the longest burning wood that we sell, and is the most popular wood for the fireplace. It has a small blue/ purple flame and the coals retain their heat long after the fire is dead.
Wild Vines – Aquarium
Wild Vines are becoming increasingly popular amongst Aquascapers due to their exquisite twisted and knotted beauty. They are lighter than the traditional Mupane Roots used in aquariums. However, they can be secured to the bottom of a tank with rocks, sand or pebbles. Aquascaping is the art of setting up an aquarium to look as natural as possible, whilst also creating an award-winning showpiece. Wild Vines are perfect for creating underwater forests and trees, as moss and other plants grow easily on them. They do release a light colour and tannins like Mupane Roots, so it is best to soak the vines for approximately a week before adding them to your tank.
Wild Vines- Vivarius
Wild vines are extremely popular among reptile owners and collectors, due to their beautiful twisted and knotted beauty. All the wild vines sold by Namibian Hardwood Pty Ltd. have been cleaned and treated to ensure they are free of any parasites that would normally live in the wood, thereby ensuring that the products you buy from our company are safe for your pets and livestock.

Most stones are carved into beads and figurines with only the finer grades being used for fashion cabochons and in jewellery settings. Its name originates from the Italian a ventura or all’avventura, meaning “by chance,” and refers to the Italian glass from the 1700s, produced when a worker accidentally dropped metal filings into a vat of melting glass. The name Aventurine was later given to the natural stone which looked like the industrial product.
