The NamibRand Nature Reserve was established to help protect and conserve the unique ecology and wildlife of the southwest Namib Desert.
It is one of southern Africa's largest private nature reserves, stretching over 2,100 sq. km.
Just south of Sesriem, the NamibRand shares a 100 km border with the Namib-Naukluft National Park in the west and Nubib Mountains to the east.

Nearly all facets of the Namib Desert are found on the reserve, creating a kaleidoscope of living colors.
The Reserve originated in 1984 with Windhoek businessman Albi Bruckner's dream to extend the frontiers of the Namib Desert by incorporating a number of former sheep farms into a land specifically used for a wildlife sanctuary, free from farm fencing and other farming paraphernalia.

Several drought years proved to be too difficult for livestock ranching, and the poaching of wild game increased considerably, however decreased with the oncoming of plentiful rains in the following season.
