Each year, Gobabeb hosts over one thousand students from across Namibia and around the world to take part in learning in the Namib Desert. Programmes range from day trips where primary school learners learn about living sustainably in arid landscapes to our five month long Gobabeb Training and Research Internship Programme (GTRIP) which brings together university students to develop and implement their own full-scale research projects.

Gobabeb was founded by the Southern African Museums Association with strong backing of Austrian entomologist Dr Charles Koch in 1962. Since 1998 Gobabeb has been a joint Venture between the Ministry of Environment and Tourism (MET) and the Desert Research Foundation Namibia (DRFN). Gobabeb conducts research in a wide variety of fields ranging from archaeology and anthropology to climate and ecology in its broadest sense to geology, geomorphology and desert conservation and restoration.
