A SOUTHERN HAVEN - Kanaan Desert Retreat One of the most scenic places in Namibia, if not in the world, recently opened its doors to the general public. Welcome to Kanaan N/a’an ku sê Desert Retreat – the latest offering from the Namibian rehabilitation and conservation enterprise, the N/a’an ku sê Foundation. Linking up their wildlife and landscape conservation work by offering visitors a glimpse of that world within comfortable surroundings is a strategy that is turning out to be a win-win situation for everyone. Encompassing 33,000 hectares of some of Namibia’s most majestic landscape, Kanaan N/a’an ku sê Desert Retreat is situated close to the Namib-Naukluft Park and Sossusvlei. Upon arrival the modern world slips away, leaving you free to enjoy the rustic, yet snug accommodation, home-cooked-style food and a landscape that has remained the same for millennia. Apart from the four double en-suite guestrooms at the farmhouse is the option to stay at Camp 707 for those looking to sleep under the most unpolluted sky in the southern hemisphere. The site is kitted out with modest conveniences such as hot water and a small kitchenette. The Kanaan N/a’an ku sê Desert Retreat will play a key role in the conservation of Namibia’s wildlife and environment, including becoming the base for one of southern Namibia’s most exciting conservation research studies – that of the brown hyaena. Activities include game-viewing, sunrise and sundown drives and hiking along the red dunes of the Kalahari Desert. Photographic opportunities are boundless and highly rewarding.
