Etendeka Hiking Trail

The two rustic overnight camps make the most of sleeping under the breathtaking desert sky.

Etendeka Hiking Trail

Join some of Namibia’s most experienced and knowledgeable guides as they introduce you to the incredible life that lies largely hidden in this seemingly harsh but breathtaking landscape.

The most important feature at Etendeka is nature itself.

Hike through dry Mopani shaded riverbeds and past other-worldly rocky outcrops as our guides identify spoor, indigenous animal, bird and plant species. Exploring this terrain on foot is a heightened and invigorating meeting of man and nature.

Stunning!

We did the two night mountain walking trail. My only regret is not doing the three night walk. This was absolutely unforgettable. After a few hours walking, the first night was spent river side; the second day’s hike up to the mountain tents to the most magical overnight experience of our lives.
