Namib Rand Nature Reserve Travel Packages and Tours
When considering a Namibia safari, Namib Rand Nature Reserve is a private reserve in southwestern Namibia. Spanning 172,200 hectares, it shares a border with Namib-Naukluft National Park to the west and the Nubib Mountains to the east.
The area that the reserve occupies was originally allocated as farms beginning in the 1950s. Unfortunately after thirty years of marginal farming, it was clear the area was not suitable for commercial farming and many began to sell their land. In 1984 J.A. Brückner began formulating a plan that would use the former livestock farms to create a wildlife sanctuary and the area was eventually registered as a nonprofit private nature reserve in 1992.
The goal of the reserve was to develop a sanctuary without fences thus allowing wildlife to roam freely and without interruption. Through low-impact tourism, the reserve is able to remain financially self-sufficient. The total number of guests works on a ratio of one bed per 1000 hectares with no area allowed to exceed more than twenty guests at any time on a Namibia safari.
The reserve hosts many species including gemsbok, springbok, zebra, giraffes, baboons, leopards, hyenas, jackals and more than 150 bird species. It is also Africa’s first International Dark Sky Reserve offering some of the best star-gazing opportunities in the world.
