Desert Trails, Namibia
Reviews
“An amazing experience. A trail full of incredible beauty and full of adventure. Finishing with an incredible sense of achievement. Overall it was adventurous, wonderful, physically challenging, beautiful and re-building. My favourite memory was the vastness of the desert, watching the loose horses running free in the long grass, seeing the sunset and sleeping under the stars with my horse Leo.”
Alexandra W.

Availability/Booking Form
Ride Description
Riding in Namibia is truly spectacular. From galloping across vast open plains to cantering up and down sand dunes, all under a spotless blue sky, you cannot fail to enjoy the delights of this environment. Unlike some rides, you won't be stopping and starting but will journey across the oldest desert in the world, spending nights next to a dwindling campfire underneath the twinkling stars.
The ranch has a beautiful site on the central highland, 65 km southwest of Windhoek on the main road over Gamsbergpass to Walfish Bay. The owners and indigenous people working on the farm call these 6300 hectares their home.
The ranch is 1700m above sea level and is mainly suited to cattle breeding; Due to the poor vegetation one head of cattle needs at least 14 hectares to survive. There is an abundance of game on the central highland, e.g. kudu, gemsbuck, springbok, mountain zebra, ostrich, dassie and baboon.
Qualified guides will lead you on this journey, sharing with you their intimate knowledge of the wilderness. You will also learn how the local people have adapted to this harsh, yet beautiful environment. Some rides will pass through Bushmanland where you can watch a demonstration of the famous hunting and tracking skills of the local nomads.
Depending on the ride you choose you can experience a range of exciting activities. Some rides will give you the opportunity to see elephants, giraffes and rhinos in a unique desert habitat whilst others take you on a discovery of ancient craters millions of years old. You can stop and search for gemstones or enjoy the site of Brandberg (highest peak in Namibia).
Voted one the top ten best rides in Africa according to 'Outside' magazine.
By joining our trails you get access to areas in Namibia unknown to tourists and even locals. As far as we know there is only one other desert trail of this kind available: Grand Canyon Trail in the U.S.A.
See Programmes.
Food & Accommodation
You can truly feel at one with nature on this ride and after a long day in the saddle, doze off under the night stars. Almost all nights will be spent in large comfortable tents erected by local workers before your arrival at the campsite. Also awaiting you will be a cooked meal and a hot shower.
Accommodation is in big igloo-type tents (two people per tent) on camp-beds. There are swags with lambskin, duvet or continental quilt and pillow. Hot showers are provided. Luggage is transported on trucks; the riders take short-cuts through the bush or desert and meet the back-up vehicles at camp sites.
Meals are prepared for you around the open fire, usually "braai" (barbequed) or "potjiekos".
This often comes served with a porridge like mixture called mahango or pap. A hot barbequed meal after a tiring days riding will taste delicious.
Most typically,; Namibian food is fairly plain and vegetarians may find it challenging.
This said, things are changing and many restaurants in Namibia offer a wider range of foodstuffs and some even cater for vegetarians. Please bear in mind though that you will be travelling from day to day in the heat so food served will all have to be transported.
National specialities:
• Biltong (air-dried meat).
• Rauchfleisch (smoked meat).
• Game such as antelope, ostrich or zebra cooked on a braai (barbecue).
• Potjiekos (one-pot bush stew).
• Seafood, especially oysters, on the coast.
Activities
This ride is not suitable for non-riders.
Riders are on the move continuously so any additional activities such as bushmen demonstrations or visiting gold mines are an integral part of the trail, some at an additional cost.
There are numerous opportunities for wildlife spotting of all kinds from elephants and giraffes to a variety of unusual birds. The area is full of impressive rock formations and part of the appeal of this ride is being able to watch the ever changing colours of the landscape and the daytime mirages.

Namib Desert Trail
|
Crossing the oldest desert in the world on horseback is an experience of central Namibia’s spectacularly fascinating contrasts: From Khomas Hochland Mountains and escarpment to the Kuiseb Canyon, Tinkas, Tumas and Welwitschia plains, Moon Valley, seasonal Swakop River, coastal dunes and Atlantic Ocean. An experience of a lifetime! Details: Windhoek to Swakopmund: 12 days, 11nights, 1 night in Windhoek, 1 night on the ranch, 9 days riding (400km from the central highlands to the Atlantic Ocean), 1½ days at the coast (Swakopmund). Itinerary Day 1: You will be met by the River Crossing Lodge at the airport and taken to the lodge located in a game reserve overlooking Windhoek for lunch depending on your arrival time. The afternoon can be spent at leisure by the pool, or a chance to do a sundowner ride or visit Windhoek, a charming small city. In the evening you will have dinner with the group, which is hosted by SJG or one of the safari representatives. Day 2: You will leave with the group to Farm Hakos 1-2 hours drive southwest to a guest farm, where you spend the first night. You are introduced to your riding guides and fellow-riders, do a short trial ride, acquaint yourself with the awesome terrain and have supper and a good night’s sleep Day 3: You start off on your riding adventure: cross-country on game and cattle tracks through the bush savannah of the central highlands (1500-2000m above sea level) towards the escarpment, where the highlands drop into the plains with stunning views of endless hills and steep rock faces in constantly changing colours. It is unbelievable where horses can go – riding not for the faint-hearted! An easy descent takes us to the campsite where your back-up vehicles are waiting. After a good meal, cooked on the campfire, some jokes and chatting about the day's events, you retire to your tent or sleep under the stars. Day 4: A long and exerting, but particularly memorable day awaits you! You ride over the Hakos Mountains (2000m), along dry riverbeds and on the tracks of mountain zebra, oryx and baboons, past leopard caves and thorn bushes. This is pristine countryside with stunning panoramic views... and you are sure to appreciate a hot shower and a good meal at the end of this day! Your camp is at Natas, another remote and rugged Namibian cattle farm. Day 5: First you venture into the shaft of a long-forgotten gold mine not far from our camp; then do a short ride (20km) along dirt roads to the red sand dunes of Rooisand on the fringe of the Namib Desert. In the early afternoon you arrive at the campsite, beautifully situated at the foot of Gamsberg, the third highest mountain in Namibia. Just before sunset you might hike to a natural shelter on the mountain nearby to see Bushman paintings. Day 6: You ride through the semi-desert between the Gaub and Kuiseb valleys; past remote, abandoned farms towards the Namib-Naukluft Park's (500,000ha) main entrance. Day 7: You enter the largest nature conservation area in Africa (an area as large as the British Isles). The Skeleton Coast Park, Namib Naukluft Park and Sperrgebiet extend along Namibia’s entire coastline (2000km) up to a width of some 100km. You ride through the bizarre Kuiseb Canyon and alongside its banks and camp at Aruvlei, an interesting oasis in the Namib. Marvel at the incredibly beautiful African sunset and myriads of stars. Day 8: A long, tough riding day and non-stop sunshine! See mountain zebra, oryx, ostrich, springbok and if your lucky some of the desert warthogs while crossing the desert’s gravel plains as the crow flies. For your lunch break you stop at Ganab, a borehole which provides much-needed water for the game in the desert. Then you are off again, to Hotsas (Tinkas and Tumas plains). After the considerable distance that you have covered that day, your camp, together with the prospect of chilled drinks and a relaxed dinner, is a particularly welcome sight. Day 9: Today you canter happily towards Poacher's Turn and Marble Mountains, encountering strange shapes and mirages, fascinating survival devices of desert adapted creatures, infinite space and tremendous solitude. Day 10: Continue through unspoilt, true desert landscape where you will see unique Welwitschia plants. Close to the coast you enter the spectacular Moon Valley. It is your last night on the trail and you camp out under the stars, around the campfire in the dry riverbed of the Swakop near Goanikontes. Day 11: Joyfully ride along the Swakop valley until you reach the dunes and then at last the ocean shore at Swakopmund. Our first glimpse of a town in ten days! For the night you stay in comfortable holiday chalets/guest house and our horses enjoy their well-deserved rest in cosy stables. You meet for a farewell dinner in the evening. Day 12: On Friday morning you have breakfast together and say goodbye to friends. Air Namibia flies from Walvis Bay to Windhoek, Johannesburg and Cape Town. You can also catch one of four buses to Windhoek. Day off: This is a day for you to rest and relax or take part in one of a few exciting activities in and around Swakopmund such as a lagoon cruise – with oysters and champagne as well as seals on board, sand boarding, skydiving, etc. which can be arranged at your own cost. Be sure to return for another trip - to Damaraland and the Skeleton Coast, Arica’s Greatest Canyon onto the southern country border or into the Restricted Diamond area in the far west of Namibia! Take note: Routes can be changed due to unpredictable weather (sandstorm!) and other unforeseen conditions! |

Damaraland to Skeleton Coast trail
|
This is a truly exceptional trail: where else can you expect to see elephant, giraffe and rhino in a desert habitat! And you will be surprised at how they have adapted. Damaraland is a very spectacular part of the country, almost inaccessible, with amazing colours and vast open spaces, ancient craters and remnants from prehistoric times, not to mention the forbidding Skeleton Coast. We may encounter elephant, rhino or lion, or be caught by rivers in flood, all of which combines into a tremendous adventure. Each and every Damaraland Trail so far has been an experience of a lifetime! Details Windhoek – Windhoek. 6½ riding days, 9 nights, ½ day sightseeing famous rock engravings at Twyfelfontein (World Heritage Site), Burnt Mountain, Organ Pipes, 2 days transfer. Itinerary Day 1: You will be met by the River Crossing Lodge at the airport and take to the lodge located in the game reserve overlooking Windhoek for lunch depending on your arrival time. The afternoon can be spent at leisure by the pool, or a chance to do a sundowner ride or visit Windhoek, a charming small city. In the evening you will have dinner with the group, which is hosted by SJG or one of the safaris representatives. Day 2 : Windhoek to Damaraland - As soon as everybody is on board you head north. You pick up a packed lunch in Otjiwarongo and later stop for a picnic at the Petrified Forest, or along the road, before driving on to Aba Huab. Meet the horses and crew and settle in at Aba Huab Camp (highly inventive constructions set up by the local community). In the evening there will be stories and lots of excitement around the campfire: will the elephants pass through at night... Day 3: Be ready for a trial ride after a leisurely breakfast. The afternoon is for sightseeing and a walk among the famous rock engravings of Twyfelfontein. Enjoy the spectacular views of Damaraland and relax until it is time for dinner and another great evening at the campfire. Day 4: From Aba Huab you ride across endless plains to Rendezvous and after lunch continue along the Aba Huab River to De Riet. This is where the nerve-tingling starts: you have no idea where the elephants are and whether you might bump into them just around the next bend. Will you make it to the camp before dark? Day 5: You continue along the Huab River and across another plain towards Mikberg (where they saw cheetahs last time) to have lunch at the ‘cheetah tree’, followed by a long afternoon ride through fascinating scenery. Your camp is pitched at View Point where you enjoy views of Brandberg, Namibia’s highest mountain, and Doros Crater. Day 6: From View Point you turn southwest towards the Ugab River. After lunch at Lion Head you set off for a nice long canter. Later you move through a very narrow gorge, pass Soutfontein (Salt Fountain) and arrive at the Rhino Trackers´Camp near Brandberg West. Keep your fingers crossed that your truck has managed the long way from Aba Huab via Uis in time! Extraordinary driving skills and extra strong nerves are needed for the challenge of taking trucks and trailers through the gorge in one piece. It is only when you fly over this landscape (preferably after the trail!) that you realise how spectacular it really is. Meet the trackers of the Save the Rhino Fund and perhaps see a slide show on request. Day 7: Alternative routes depending on lion encounters, weather conditions and dry riverbed. Usually you ride out of the Ugab River onto the wide open plains and into a deserted gorge described as “out of this world”. Or, through reeds and lion bush thickets you make your way along the Ugab to Brakwasser, another place of brackish water, frequented by elephants. You then turn southeast, away from the Ugab River, and move through another narrow gorge. Whichever, camp is very enjoyable: shady, sheltered and special! Day 8: Today you leave the Ugab tributary and enter another vast open plain with spectacular views of Brandberg and Doros Crater. The crater exploded millions of years ago, and the purplish rocks around us are a result of the horrendous blast. You enjoy some marvellous cantering and have lunch at Klippenberg where you can pick up some gemstones. Your camp is at Cross Roads. Day 9: You are on your way towards the Messum River. Again there are open plains and happy canters - and spectacular panoramas. Only half the day is spent riding. In the afternoon you go for a scenic drive along the Messum River to see some large Welwitschia plants and places of amazing wind erosion. Day 10: You are headed straight for the Atlantic Ocean. Your camp is at Mile 108 on the beach, with no luxury whatsoever, just your trucks and some rudimentary wind shelter. The sound of crashing waves might make you wonder whether they could sweep over your tent at night. Then again, the infamous easterly wind could cause temperatures warm enough for a swim at sunrise... or it could whip up a sandstorm which leaves us with plates flying around. Of course you could also be greeted by dense fog which has everyone shivering and asking for glühwein and a roaring fire! This unpredictable shore is called the Skeleton Coast for good reason! Day 11: After breakfast you load the horses and wave them and the crew goodbye. You will be taken to Henties Bay and could be dropped off at the Cape Cross Lodge or transported to Swakopmund, Walvis Bay or Windhoek. The cherry on top is a scenic flight in a small aircraft over the route you took or to Sossusvlei (rates depend on the number of passengers). Usually you coordinate transfers to save costs and make life easier for you! Let us know in time what you would like to do - they are happy to assist with reservations, suggestions and sharing. The going is easier than on the Namib Desert Trail and there is more time for relaxation because you have more days at your disposal, riding is much faster and no mountains have to be crossed. The trail is very tough on the crew and back-up, because roads are few and there is little opportunity to replenish water. It is quite a task to keep up with the logistics (half the trail is unsuited for the truck, water cart or trailer). Nevertheless they love to tackle this extra challenge for the stunning scenery – just once a year! Take note: Routes can be changed due to unpredictable weather and other unforeseen conditions! |

Africa's Greatest Canyon Trail
|
This trail certainly meets the aspirations of the Central Namib Desert as well as the Damaraland-Skeleton Coast Trail. With a combination of dramatic canyon landscapes, spacious Desert plains and the mighty Orange River, this trail offers the opportunity to experience both inaccessible countryside and real wilderness areas as well as riding without limitations. The Fish River Canyon area is internationally recognised as one of Africa’s most magnificent sites; it is also the second largest canyon in the world. Riding will commence in and along the upper Fish River canyons where you will experience part of the canyon not seen by many. After the endless Nama Karoo, the plains invite you for everlasting canters, only to be stopped by the Orange/Gariep River, which forms the southern border of Namibia. Distances covered daily will vary between 20 and 55 kilometres. Africa’s Greatest Canyon Trail crosses over three private parks: Fish River Canyon Park, Gondwana Park and Aussenkehr Park, altogether covering an area of about 220,000ha. These Parks fall within the Nama Karoo Desert biome and are on the fringe of the transitional area between Nama Karoo and Succulent Karoo, the Orange River basin at Aussenkehr being the most arid part of the Nama Karoo biome. Aussenkehr Park is also home to a small Namib Feral Horse population, descended from the original wild horse population at Garub in the Namib Desert. Details Windhoek-Windhoek: 12 days, 11 nights, 9 days riding, 3 days transfers, a visit to the main view point at the famous Fish River Canyon, a drive along the Orange River and an afternoon/sunset drive to the famous Wild Horses of the Namib Desert. Itinerary Day 1: You will be met by the River Crossing Lodge at the airport and taken to the lodge located in a game reserve high overlooking Windhoek for lunch depending on your arrival time. The afternoon can be spent at leisure by the pool, or a chance to do a sundowner ride or visit Windhoek, a charming small city. In the evening you will have dinner with the group, which is hosted by SJG or one of the safari representatives. Day 2: You will leave with the group heading towards Fish-River-Canyon area with a transfer of about 8 hours including a picnic along the way and time for photo-shooting and a chat to your fellow-riders. Arrive late afternoon at Fish-River Mule Station meet your guides and local crew. Unpack your luggage into a smaller bag for the following two days to come. Terrain is inaccessible for larger trucks and you thus take small bags only. Day 3: The day starts with a relaxing breakfast. Riding over variable terrain, reaching the amazing plateau, and continuing along the edge until you reach Horse Shoe Camp. During lunch break you admire the stunning, breathtaking view! In the afternoon along serpentines until we reach Koelkrans (the cooling rocks) with a huge waterhole surrounded by a very steep and narrow canyon. Enjoy a relaxing swim in the usually very dry area. You climb up to Horse shoe Camp. Day 4: From Horse Shoe Camp to Augurabis. The ride might follow a section of the Fish River where few people have set foot before. Who knows what is waiting for you! Whether you ride in the canyon or on zebra tracks around the top will depend on the water level in the river. The ride in the riverbed is difficult and demanding but then you make your way up on a steep track to the Plato before we cross some plains to find the unexpected forest at Augurabis in the Gaap River. Augurabis is situated on Gondwana Park, a private park of about 120,000ha dedicated to conservation and tourism. Stunning views, unbelievable space and awesome scenery! Day 5: Augurabis to Grenspos. Serpentine away from the canyons through bizarre weathered rocks to the southeast where the end of the basalt ridge meets a vast plain, to enjoy some fast cantering and larger numbers of game like Burchell’s zebra, springbok, ostrich and herds of oryx. As you ride in a fenceless environment you are riding wise not limited to a specific route and can go where the game is. You camp at the Mule Station from where Mule Trails Namibia is operated at the foot of Holoog Mountain on wide open terrain with a great panorama. All luggage available and back to the usual camp facilities and routine. Day 6: Grenspos to Mountain Camp. Ride through endless savannah into an area strewn with granite boulders and charismatic quiver trees, to arrive for lunch at Mountain Camp. The afternoon is free for leisure and relaxation and individual photographic excursions or sun downer walks. Enjoy the luxury of en-suite bath rooms, made-up proper beds and a very special evening at Mountain Camp. Day 7: Mountain Camp via Kanebis to Fourie se Gat (a hole dug by Mr. Fourie) You follow the road towards the Fish River Valley and then parallel to it to arrive upon wide open plains. You will most probably spot some quite different game along the way. You meet unlimited, ever changing scenery and camp at a cosy spot… and look forward to an unforgettable sunset over the Fish River Canyon “bad lands” to the west, the granite kopjes behind you and the sandy plains of the Gamkab basin ahead of you, with Norotshama peak on the southern horizon. Day 8: Fourie se Gat to Gamkab Camp. In the morning you follow the road towards the Fish River Valley and then parallel to it to arrive upon wide open plains. You meet unlimited, ever changing scenery and camp at a cosy spot next to the Gamkab River. Day 9: From Gamkab Camp to Boulders camp. Riding over everlasting plains to a patch of isolated sand dunes on Aussenkehr Nature Park, then on again to a camp surrounded by stacked boulders which could only have been the work of giants. Again, riding is not limited to a specific route, as you can roam freely in a vast environment. Day 10: The last ride. Stunning contrasts again; ride from the wide open plains into the very narrow Kings Throne canyon, onto a view point surprisingly displaying the Orange/Gariep River with its vineyards in an otherwise barren landscape. Another happy canter and some strolling through the vineyards to finally untack at Norotshama River Resort, on the banks of the Orange River. Go for a swim in the pool (or river) and enjoy sundowners on the river and dinner at the lodge. Day 11: Maybe go for a short canoe trip down the river and leave late morning for Klein-Aus Vista. Driving along the Orange river to Rosh Pinah and then along the Sperrgebiet (Restricted Diamond area) to Aus. In the afternoon set off on a sun downer excursion to the Wild Horses of the Namib Desert with an experienced guide. Day 12: Depart for Windhoek after an early breakfast, a seven hour transfer. Alternatively an option is possible to fly to Windhoek or Cape Town from Rosh Pinah airport (on day 11 when passing through Rosh Pinah) or Luderitz airport (one hour transfer from Klein-Aus Vista). Take note: Routes can be changed due to unpredictable weather and other unforeseen conditions! |
