In the Namib animals such as South African oryx antelope (<em>Oryx gazella<\/em>), springbok (<em>Antidorcas marsupialis<\/em>) or ostrich (<em>Struthio camelus<\/em>), adapted to life in drylands; in the Naukluft mountain specialists such as chacma baboon (<em>Papio ursinus<\/em>), klipspringer (<em>Oreotragus oreotragus<\/em>) and Hartmann&#8217;s mountain zebra (<em>Equus zebra hartmannae<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Different reasons<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The central Namib was declared a nature reserve as early as 1907, during the German colonial era (1884 &#8211; 1915), that is. However, the colonial administration&#8217;s concern allegedly was not only the protection of the flora and fauna. The Namib Desert Park probably also served as a control area around the British exclave Walvis Bay.<\/p>\n<p>The Naukluft, by contrast, has only been under conservation since 1968. The mandatory power South Africa founded the Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park primarily to create a sanctuary for the Hartmann&#8217;s mountain zebra. This zebra species is nearly endemic, so it occurs almost only in Namibia.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3597\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-dead-vlei-dune-namib-flight-19-05-web-800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3597\" class=\"wp-image-3596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-dead-vlei-dune-namib-flight-19-05-web-800.jpg\" alt=\"Dead Vlei Sossusvlei Tsauchab valley Dune Namib\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-dead-vlei-dune-namib-flight-19-05-web-800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-dead-vlei-dune-namib-flight-19-05-web-800-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-dead-vlei-dune-namib-flight-19-05-web-800-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-dead-vlei-dune-namib-flight-19-05-web-800-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dead Vlei and Sossusvlei in the sand sea of the Namib.

That is how in 1979, exactly 40 years ago, a 49,768 km\u00b2 nature reserve emerged &#8211; the largest in Namibia and one of the largest in Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Although quite different, the two habitats belong together. The animals are moving back and forth: The Oryx is looking for grass on the slopes of the Naukluft Mountains, when it does not find any on the plains of the eastern Namib. The same applies vice versa to the mountain zebra, which migrates from the Naukluft mountain range to the plains in case of scarce pasture.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3599\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-bush-slope-valley-quiver-tree-gorge-trail-19-01-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3599\" class=\"wp-image-3598 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-bush-slope-valley-quiver-tree-gorge-trail-19-01-web.jpg\" alt=\"Valley Naukluft mountains near Quiver Tree Gorge at B\u00fcllsPort\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-bush-slope-valley-quiver-tree-gorge-trail-19-01-web.jpg 800w, https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-bush-slope-valley-quiver-tree-gorge-trail-19-01-web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-bush-slope-valley-quiver-tree-gorge-trail-19-01-web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/19-08-20-bush-slope-valley-quiver-tree-gorge-trail-19-01-web-610x406.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mountainous landscape of the Naukluft at B\u00fcllsPort.

Almost every one of the tens of thousands of tourists per year visiting Namibia for the first time wants to see it.<\/p>\n<p>The Naukluft, by contrast, is still considered a hidden gem.
