N/a'an ku sê
Experience Spectacular African Wildlife and Pure Nature, situated only 42 km east of Windhoek. The area is a natural savannah paradise with riverine vegetation, lush grass plains and magnificent mountain views.
Marlice van Vuuren, one of Namibia's most well known conservationist, together with her husband Dr. Rudie van Vuuren and their pharmacist friend Chris Heunis started N/a’an ku sê Lodge & Wildlife Sanctuary in 2007. N/a’an ku sê is committed to playing a key role in conservation and the protection of the Namibian wildlife, land and people.
N/a'an ku sê vision is an Africa where humans and wildlife can live and thrive together. N/a'an ku sê mission is to conserve the land, cultures and
wildlife of Namibia and rescue species threatened by an ever-shrinking habitat.
The Sanctuary accommodates mostly orphaned and injured animals that cannot be released back into the wild. Several additional projects are also taking place including our Carnivore Conservation
Reserach Project, our Bushman School and the Lifeline Clinic at Epukiro.
Through each of our project, N/a’an ku sê provides an important source of employment and accommodation to several Bushmen families. One of our key aims is to improve the lives of these historic
tribes people through education, healthcare and improved living conditions and we currently employ over 20 Bushmen families.
