N/A’An Ku Sê Group Of Companies

The N/a’an ku sê Foundation ... so much more than just a sanctuary. N/a’an ku sê embodies passion, vision and innovation; makes dreams come true, saves lives and adds value to the same, whether it be humans or animals. Meet Marlice van Vuuren, the girl who was born to love the Namibian bush and dedicate her life to the conservation of the magnificent animals and people who make this “Land God made in Anger” the unique country that it is. Together with her husband, Dr. Rudie van Vuuren, and invaluable friends, she founded the N/a’an ku sê Lodge and Wildlife Sanctuary in 2006, Namibia’s only charity lodge - a place where the conservation of wildlife, landscapes and cultures are closely interlinked. The N/a’an ku sê Sanctuary is a paradise nestled deep in the bush, where orphaned animals are raised with dedication, their natural needs being carefully considered, tending away from the feeling of “captivity” – instead creating an environment where their instinctive behaviours are nurtured and encouraged. Only those carnivores too ill, abused or habituated remain at the sanctuary that is N/a’an ku sê. This is done purely for their safety and survival chances. The release of the powerful cats, both cheetahs and leopards, forms a top priority at N/a’an ku sê – “returning wildlife to the wild” being the mantra that forms the backbone of our projects. Having spent her life deeply involved with the San culture, Marlice’s affinity with this impoverished community in Namibia, desperately clinging to an age-old culture, has formed a large part of N/a’an ku sê’s vision. The N/a’an ku sê Lifeline Clinic is dedicated to the health and welfare of the San Bushman community, and in this way the N/a’an ku sê Foundation remains truly committed to its mantra of conserving the wildlife, landscapes and people of this incredible country, Namibia.
