Vast and eternal, but also picturesque and enchanting, NamibRand Nature Reserve embraces its visitor. On foot is the best way to feel the desert as you can experience the amazing details personally and in your own time.
Day 01: You arrive at the trail base in the afternoon, fill your hiking pack, and start your adventure by exploring mysterious “fairy circles” and hiking over rolling sand dunes. Your first night spent out in the desert will be unforgettable. If the sky is clear and moonless, you will quickly understand how the NamibRand is an International Dark Sky Reserve. (Walking time: 1 - 2 hrs, sleep out on open stretcher beds)
Day 02: Starting your hike in the cool early morning, you take in breath-taking views and the “coming alive” of the oldest living desert in the world.Throughout the day your guide explains wonders of the Namib. Birding is excellent and you may come across larger mammals such as the bat-eared fox, oryx, springbok and ostrich. In the afternoon you walk to a sea of endless dunes and “fairy circles” against a backdrop of magnificent mountain scenery. (Walking time: morning: 4 - 4.5 hrs / afternoon: 2 - 2.5 hrs, sleep out on open stretcher beds)
Day 03: Again you start your walking the early, cool morning. You will see rolling dunes interspersed by camel thorn trees on your walk, which ends just before noon. (Walking time: morning: 3 - 3.5 hrs)
