One of the largest private reserves in Africa, the NamibRand is a world away from any world you know. It is vast and empty, courtesy the strict concession rules that strive to preserve the pristine nature of the place. You will not come across any other car during a game drive. Magnifying the vastness and the barrenness of the reserve is a dense cloak of silence that shrouds the landscape, intermittently broken by the bark of a gecko.
