Help safeguard 180 000 hectares of volcanic landscapes, wildlife corridors, and endangered species in the Erongo Mountains

Erongo Mountain Nature Sanctuary is a restored, protected wilderness in the heart of Namibia’s volcanic Erongo Mountains. By staying at its lodges or supporting its conservation work, travellers directly help protect endangered and endemic species in one of Africa’s most unique landscapes.

Overview of the Sanctuary

The Erongo Mountain Nature Sanctuary is a private nature reserve in the Erongo Region of Namibia. The Erongo Mountain Nature Sanctuary (EMNS) aims at protecting the indigenous fauna and flora of the region, as well as reintroducing species that were part of the natural biodiversity historically.

A Collective Conservation Effort

The EMNS is made up of numerous privately owned land units, whose owners decided to contribute their land to this project. This has led to the unprecedented situation that almost all inner fences and individual border fences have been removed, to allow the game animals freedom of movement.

A Nearly Fence-Free Wilderness

This large area - encompassing almost 180 000 hectares - which the Erongo Mountain Nature Sanctuary encompasses, is now almost completely “fence-free” and is therefore wholly available for the protection and conservation of the occurring animal and plant species. Within these 180 000 ha the game can move freely.

Visit. Learn. Support.
