Nubib Nature Camp
Near NamibRand Nature Reserve - Namibia
Nubib Nature Camp is situated on a 7,500ha private reserve on the edge of the Namib Desert. It is 104km from Sesriem, 410km from Swakopmund and 470km from Namibia's capital city Windhoek, via Mariental. Not only is its location ideal for nature lovers to visit the Nubib Mountains, but it is an ideal stopover when visiting the spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei or Sesriem Canyon. Many travellers also like to stay here when driving on the more direct desert route from Swakopmund to Luderitz.
Although there is some interesting wildlife in the mountains, the landscape and scenery are of particular beauty and of great interest to hikers and photographers alike, especially at dawn and dusk.
The main building at Nubib Nature Camp has a dining room, bar and guest lounge. Meals can also be taken at the open-air fireplace, a great spot for star gazing whilst enjoying a night-cap. There is also a roof deck, very popular for a sundowner and to admire the magnificent Namibian sunset.
