Dr. Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren, together with long-time friend, Dr. Jannes Brandt, started the N/a’an ku sê Foundation in 2006.
(213)

With the support of Dutch philanthropists, Jan and Tineke Verburg, the N/a’an ku sê dream was born. Our purpose is “to help conserve the landscapes of Namibia, to protect the wildlife, and to improve the lives of the people we work with through sustainable innovative commercial activity”. And this vision is perfectly embodied in N/a’an ku sê’s wildlife sanctuary, run by Marlice and her innate ability and desire to care for and protect Namibia’s vulnerable wildlife. Our carnivore conservation research projects further enhance the conservation strides made by N/a’an ku sê, with humanitarian efforts supporting the world’s most ancient culture - a school and clinic provide free education and healthcare to the San community. After all, sustainable and long-term solutions are the key factor in conserving today for tomorrow.

“We believe that we hold this invaluable heritage in our hands for future generations. We cannot undo what has been done, but we can shape our future,” Dr. Rudie van Vuuren

We do not receive any government funding and rely solely on the generosity of donors, ecotourism and the dedication of volunteers to continue our vital work. Our conservation dream… your conservation adventure.

Wildlife conservation sometimes means making difficult decisions to ensure the wellbeing of individual animals and the future of the species.

Recently, the N/a’an ku sê team carried out a lion relocation, an operation that requires careful planning, coordination and the expertise of our wildlife team.

Relocations are an important part of responsible wildlife management, helping ensure that animals are placed in environments suited to their needs.

Behind every successful relocation is a team dedicated to protecting wildlife and making a difference on the ground.

A big thank you to everyone involved in making this operation possible. 💚

A little digging, a lot of curiosity!

There’s always something fascinating to observe in the wild. Whether exploring their surroundings or digging into the earth, elephants remind us that even the simplest moments can offer a glimpse into their remarkable world. 🌿

Every encounter is a reminder of why protecting wildlife and preserving their natural habitats matters.

A FIGHT TO BE PROUD OF! 🏏

Our N/a’an ku sê U/15 cricket team took on the semi-final with determination, teamwork and plenty of heart. Although we didn’t get the result we hoped for, the boys gave it a good fight, and that’s something to be proud of.

A special shout-out to Nicklai van Vuuren, who was named Man of the Match!

To our boys, keep your heads high. Every match is an opportunity to learn, grow and come back stronger. We’re proud of the effort you put in and the way you represented N/a’an ku sê.

Keep showing up, keep believing and keep giving it your all!

Every animal has a place in the natural world, and every new generation is a reminder of why conservation matters.

This Monday, we’re celebrating the incredible animals that make our work so meaningful.

A future where wildlife thrives is a future worth protecting.
