The Story of Ai-Ais Coffee House and Vision behind Ai-Ais Events

In 1969, Lourens Rautenbach was born in Walvisbay, and due to his mother’s medical condition, his family moved to Pretoria in 1976. Over the years, they continued to travel to Namibia, their preferred holiday destination. The journey took them through the Northern Cape and later Botswana after the completion of the Kalahari highway. While attempts were made to explore other holiday spots in RSA, none compared to the warmth of home.
