Once you reach the B1, turn onto it and continue south for approximately 350 kilometers. This route will take you through several towns and scenic landscapes. Keep an eye out for road signs directing you towards the NamibRand Nature Reserve. After about 350 kilometers, take the exit towards the C19 road, which will lead you directly to the entrance of the reserve. The total drive may take around 5 to 6 hours depending on traffic and road conditions.

Buses run regularly, and the journey typically takes about 5 to 6 hours. Once in Windhoek, you will need to find a bus that travels towards the NamibRand Nature Reserve or, alternatively, take a taxi to the nearest town with access to the reserve. Be sure to check the bus schedules in advance as they may vary. After reaching the nearest town, you may need to hire a taxi or a shuttle service to reach the reserve's entrance, which could incur additional costs.
