NamibRand Family Hideout Campsite
NamibRand Nature Reserve, Namibia
In NamibRand you can really enjoy peace and seclusion in the desert. There are only three campsites, which are set a little apart. On a marked route you can explore the desert with your 4x4 vehicle.
Why you'll love it here
- Watch Gemsbok from your roof tent.
- Quiet campsites in a remote private nature reserve.
- All campsites are well spaced from each other, with no line of sight.
Your accommodation
There are three campsites called Orion, Venus and Jupiter. They are all surrounded by dunes and therefore cannot be seen from the neighbouring campsite. Here you can definitely enjoy peace and privacy.
Each campsite has its own small wooden hut covered with a tent canvas. Inside is the bathroom. There is a flush toilet and a shower. Hot water is generated by solar energy.
There is also a sink, a work surface and a campfire area. Do remember to bring your own firewood.
From each campsite you have a beautiful view of the dune landscape. In addition, each site has a small waterhole. At the Orion campsite mainly springbok and Gemsbok come by. Birds also like to come to drink.
What you can do here
From the campsite you can go on a short walk in the surrounding area and explore the desert. For this you only need a little sense of direction at most.
If you are travelling with a 4x4 vehicle, you can explore the dune landscape on your own on a marked trail.
As each campsite has a waterhole, antelopes and other small animals regularly come to drink. So take your time to observe the nature around you. If you enjoy photography, all the better. You will find many beautiful subjects here.
As there is hardly any light pollution in the seclusion of NamibRand Nature Reserve, you can see a great many stars and the Milky Way when the sky is clear. Imagine the peace, the sounds of the animals and on top of that the breathtaking starry sky. What more could you want?
If you would like to join a guided tour, you can book an “Educational Desert Walk” or opt for “Dune Boarding”.
