Our home for the night was the Namib Naukluft Lodge, one of two establishments located on a private desert reserve called Nam Hau Habitat. It is a 25,000-hectare nature park that spans the area between the Namib Desert and the Naukluft Mountains, and occupies a unique and diverse desert environment for its varied wildlife. Since its establishment in 1993, animals have been allowed to freely roam undisturbed there, and this desert has hosted a variety of wild game. Pumps ope
