Welcome to NamibRand Nature Reserve NamibRand Nature Reserve is a model for private conservation in Southern Africa as it demonstrates holistic bio diversity conservation balanced with financial sustainability.

The main objective of NamibRand Nature Reserve is the conservation of this beautiful land on a self-sustainable basis. The lodges and camps on the Reserve (Wolwedans, Mountain Lodge and TokTokkie Trails) are limited to 20 beds each. The park is governed by a strict code of ethics and the number of guests this wilderness paradise can accommodate is restricted. Despite the tremendous potential for more tourist development, it was decided that in theory every bed must be surrounded by 1000 hectares of nature. This means that every guest at Wolwedans has one million square meters of wilderness to themselves – a sanctuary free of tour buses and overland trucks. This luxury of space makes the Reserve the pristine destination it is today.

NamibRand invites true nature lovers to share its dream. Every visitor helps to sustain it by paying a fixed daily park-fee, which is channeled directly into the conservation of NamibRand Nature Reserve.

Although the daily management of the Reserve is adequately funded through tourism, special projects require additional funding. To help fund such projects, the Reserve has established the NamibRand Conservation Foundation. This independent organization raises funds through initiatives such as the Adopt-a-Fairy-Circle Project. The Foundation has already provided the Research and Awareness Centre (NRAC) and the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET) with significant funding and hopes to continue this support as well as identify new projects.
