The NamibRand Nature Reserve is situated in the pristine Namib Desert. The Namib is know as the 'living desert' because of the diversity of life existing in seemingly inhospitable conditions. In this dry place, an array of animals and plants are nourished by condensation from the sea mists rising off the distant Atlantic Ocean.

The reserve lies on the eastern boundary of the Namib Naukluft National Park. You can expect hot summers and pleasant winters in this arid climate. Namibia enjoys sunshine virtually every day of the year; it can be especially hot in the middle of summer between December and March. Winters (May-October) are cooler.
