The NamibRand Nature Reserve lies to the south of Sesriem, and borders onto the Namib Naukluft Park.
Covering over 2,000 square kilometers, it is one of Africa’s largest private reserves, and is certainly one of its most beautiful.
Fauna and flora of the NamibRand Nature Reserve
A place of contrast, it encompasses vegetated dunes, yellow plains and the Numib Mountains where Hartmann’s mountain zebra can be found. The NamibRand has some of Namibia’s best guides and is therefore a good place to learn about the flora, fauna and history of the desert.
We recommend the full day drives, on which you explore many parts of the reserve and have a large picnic lunch. On your return to camp at night you’ll find the lanterns lit, the fire roaring and a delicious dinner prepared.
There is a choice of properties we recommend on the NamibRand: whichever you choose a two- or three-night stay is ideal.
