Today you’ll journey south for some sensational wildlife and landscape viewing in the NamibRand Nature Reserve. Sharing a border with the Namib-Naukluft National Park, the reserve boasts one of the country’s most striking landscapes – think sweeping desert and savannah, faraway mountain ranges, isolated inselbergs, elusive fairy circles and iconic red dunes.

Set in the northern part of the reserve and surrounded by panoramic desert vistas, Kwessi Dunes provides the ultimate base. When not admiring the views, you can choose from an exciting menu of scenic drives, nature walks, quad biking, hot air ballooning and helicopter flights.
