Namib Desert

Is work pressure and stress getting you down? Just one week off work, Saturday to Saturday,
and you will return, feeling as someone who has just been on a long vacation. The highlight of
this desert hiking adventure is a 3-day, guided desert hiking trail along the Uchab River in
the coastal wilderness area of Namibia's Kaokoveld - the last true Wilderness area in Africa!

GENERAL OVERVIEW

We regret having to inform our prospective guests that the good news for 2003 is no longer in
force for 2008. Sadly, the Department of Nature Conservation had, once more, reverted to the
minimum number of participants for this hike, to be a single booking of six participants. For one
year at least we had the privilege of securing bookings for a minimum of three participants.

Trails start on every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, (Fourth day of the safari), during 
season. The trail distance is approximately 50km (31.5 miles), following the course of the Uchab 
River. Along the way you will also explore the fascinating granite rocks on the windswept plains 
adjoining the river. Learn about the dazzling variety of lichens, and the unique plants and animals 
of the desert. Hiking and experiencing an Ecosystem unlike anything else on Earth, under clear
skies and in a country totally free of air pollution. 

You have three days before the actual hike to prepare & gradually become acclimatized as you
travel through two different landscapes and climatic zones, after arrival, before reaching the third.

At the end of the hike, relax at a Game Lodge near Windhoek before returning to the airport.

The sample itinerary given below is only customizable with regard to the number of days added
either before or after the actual hike, with subsequent price adjustments. This desert hiking
adventure is bound by a season, it will only be open from April to October each year.
