TOURISM

To ensure the long-term, sustainable existence of the Reserve, substantial funds are needed which cannot be generated from private means. Since 1994, exclusive safaris are being offered to nature lovers from different parts of the world, placing as little strain as possible on the environment. Guests are encouraged to admire the uniqueness of the Reserve, accompanied by trained rangers and field-guides, on foot, by cross-country vehicle or from the sky in a hot-air balloon.

The rules of the Reserve prescribe that the total number of guest-beds in the Reserve is restricted to one bed per 2.000 hectare and a limit of 20 guest-beds in any one location. Presently there are five concessionaires conducting touristic operations in the Reserve for their own account, but paying a levy to the Reserve in the form of a percentage of their income, namely NamibRand Safaris ( Wolwedans ), Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge, Tok Tokkie Trails, the NamibRand Family Hideout and NamibSky Adventure Safaris (hot air ballooning).

All of these concessionaires make every effort to co-operate with one another so as not to interfere with each other's activities, such as drives, hikes, utilisation of tracks and care of the environment. They are also bound by their concession agreements to respect and maintain the natural resources of this pristine area, in terms of game viewing, driving rules, type of structures erected, water utilisation, volumes of tourists allowed, planting of trees and refuse removal, amongst many other factors.

We believe that each concessionaire has a unique product to offer, suiting the needs, wishes and pocket of every kind of tourist:
 

Tourism concessions on the NamibRand Nature Reserve contributing park fees include exclusive accommodation establishments and activity orientated products such as hot-air ballooning and walking trails.

In the far north of the Reserve, Sossusvlei Mountain Lodge, operated by Conservation Corporation Africa, accommodates guest in rooms of the highest standard and provides the perfect base from which to explore the giant dunes of Sossusvlei. 

In the heart of NamibRand, the Wolwedans Collection, run by NamibRand Safaris (Pty) Ltd. offers a variety of lodges and camps. Guests are provided with a classical safari experience close to nature, in comfort and style, at the tented Dune Camp, the Dunes Lodge, the Private Camp or the Boulders Camp.

The Family Hideout, an old farmhouse in the south of the Reserve, provides self-catering accommodation, targeting primarily local families and regional visitors.

Tok-Tokkie Trails, operated by Safaris Unlimited, offers guided walks in the dunes and mountain ranges of NamibRand. 

Hot-air ballooning, operated by Namib Sky Adventures, is a unique activity offered to guest who are accommodated at any of the surrounding lodges.  

The Reserve also hosts the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET), a non-profit organization aimed at empowering Namibians to make decisions for a sustainable future.
