Farm Namtib is a privately owned biosphere reserve covering an area of
16400 hectares at the edge of the Namib Desert in the Tiras Mountains.
Farming and human activities are adapted to the prevailing arid climate
of southern Namibia to minimize the impact on the ecological system.
The fascinating landscape of the farm offers an abundance of breathtaking
views and hosts a wealth of fauna and flora. Oryx, Springbock, Kudu as
well as Klippspringer and the scarce Steenbock inhabit the territory.
Numerous Acacia grow in the dry riverbeds and quiver trees line the
mountains. A true scarcity in an area bordering the desert are the
fountains with their biotopes found in the rugged gorges of the mountains
on the farm. The untouched mountains offer hiking ranging from easy to
extreme for the discerning hiker. The mountains rise steep from the
plains and their peaks reach high into the steelblue sky.
(1060m - 1976m above sea level).
Namtib Desert Lodge offers accommodation in farmstyle bungalows each with an own
bathroom. The owners, Family Theile, attend personally to the guests and
provide interesting information about life at the edge of the Namib Desert.
Should you prefer the outdoors and like camping the we offer you our campsite
Little Hunter’s Rest, equipped with cooking facilities and ablutions.
The area surrounding the camp site invites you to explore its wilderness
and absorb the vastness of the desert.
Farm Namtib is situated on one of the most scenic routes in southern Namibia.
The farm is ideally located between Fish River Canyon and Sossusvlei/Sesriem
or Lüderitzbucht and Sossusvlei/Sesriem.
