Farm Namtib is a privately owned biosphere reserve covering an area of
16400 hectares at the edge of the Namib Desert in the Tiras Mountains.
Farming and human activities are adapted to the prevailing arid climate
of southern Namibia to minimize the impact on the ecological system.
The fascinating landscape of the farm offers an abundance of breathtaking
views and hosts a wealth of fauna and flora. Oryx, Springbock, Kudu as
well as Klippspringer and the scarce Steenbock inhabit the territory.
Numerous Acacia grow in the dry riverbeds and quiver trees line the
mountains. A true scarcity in an area bordering the desert are the
fountains with their biotopes found in the rugged gorges of the mountains
on the farm. The untouched mountains offer hiking ranging from easy to
extreme for the discerning hiker. The mountains rise steep from the
plains and their peaks reach high into the steelblue sky.
(1060m - 1976m above sea level).
