Namibrand Nature Reserve Vacations

The perfect holiday in the Namibrand Nature Reserve

Often overlooked, this stunning desert area you'll explore on a tailor made Namibrand holiday is a wonderful complement to busy Sossusvlei

Located just south of the famous dunes of Sossusvlei, the NamibRand Nature Reserve is one of Namibia’s best-kept secrets - vast, remote and achingly beautiful. This privately owned reserve spans over 200,000 hectares of desert wilderness and was established to help protect the fragile ecosystems of the Namib. Its landscapes are astonishingly varied, from gravel plains and red dunes to jagged mountain outcrops and fairy circles - strange, circular patches of bare earth that have long intrigued scientists and storytellers alike.

NamibRand is ideal for second-time visitors looking to complement their Sossusvlei experience with something quieter and more immersive. Activities range from guided walks and game drives to horse riding across the dunes and spectacular sunrise hot air balloon flights. Wildlife is surprisingly abundant, with oryx, springbok, bat-eared foxes and even leopards calling this harsh terrain home. At night, the reserve becomes one of the best places in the world for stargazing - it’s an official International Dark Sky Reserve, with virtually no light pollution to interrupt the show overhead.

A luxury safari in NamibRand can stand alone as a slow, thoughtful desert retreat or be combined with the drama of nearby Sossusvlei. Either way, it’s an extraordinary and otherworldly landscape that reveals just how diverse and captivating Namibia’s deserts can be.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!

It was a dreamy holiday on the Kenyan Coast - Far and Wild, their efficiency and professionalism allowed us to relax and be the happiest family alive !! We cannot fault them, their care and understanding of what we wanted from a holiday ensured we had the most memorable trip. We will be booking with them again for sure!
