Nǀa’an ku sê Wildlife Sanctuary

Nǀa'an ku sê is a wildlife sanctuary in Khomas Region where rescued animals live in specially designed enclosures that mimic their natural habitats. The grounds spread across different zones, each adapted to house various species in settings that match their native environments.

Founded in 2007 by Marlice and Rudie van Vuuren, this place emerged to provide care for injured and orphaned animals. It grew into a center dedicated to wildlife research and conservation work across the region.

The name comes from the Juǀʼhoan language and means 'God will protect us', connecting the place to local indigenous heritage.

The site is located about 40 kilometers from Windhoek and is easily accessible by road. Guided tours are available along with accommodation options and learning programs focused on local wildlife.

The sanctuary uses radio-tracked collars on large carnivores to monitor their movements across wide areas. This tracking reveals how these animals travel and helps shape better protection strategies for the region.
