4 Days | ±43 km | Guided Desert Hiking Safari in the Namib
Experience the untouched beauty of Namibia’s desert on this fully guided hiking safari through the granite landscapes surrounding Wüstenquell Lodge, nestled on the edge of the Namib Naukluft Park. Over the course of three hiking days and four nights, explore dramatic rock formations, secluded canyons, and ancient riverbeds — all while enjoying the comfort of prepared wild camps, delicious mealsund knowledgeable local guides.
This slackpacking-style hike covers approximately 43 km, allowing you to connect deeply with Namibia’s natural and cultural heritage without the burden of carrying heavy gear. With striking scenery, rich geology, and authentic San rock art along the trail, this wilderness adventure offers a perfect blend of exploration and comfort.
From 14:00 onward, guests are welcomed to Wüstenquell Lodge, a tranquil desert retreat surrounded by red granite outcrops and endless horizons. Settle into your private en-suite room with sweeping views of the Namib. As the sun dips behind the hills, gather for a warm welcome dinner and an insightful hike briefing with the Whipps Wilderness Safaris team, setting the tone for the days ahead.
After a nourishing early breakfast, the first stage of the hike begins. Today’s route leads into a surreal landscape of towering rock formations and expansive desert plains. Highlights include Eagle’s Rock and the monumental Elephant Rock, whose natural contours seem sculpted by time. The trail weaves through ancient terrain before reaching your wild camp, tucked between massive granite boulders with panoramic views of the Namib Naukluft. Arrive to find your Sahara-style tent ready and a freshly prepared dinner waiting under a vast sky filled with stars.
Today’s hike brings a dramatic change in scenery as you descend into a remote desert canyon, revealing a quieter, hidden world. The trail follows an ancient dry riverbed, lined with hardy desert flora and layered with geological history. By late afternoon, arrive at a peaceful wild camp shaded by towering Anna trees, nestled deep in the riverbed. The camp offers warm water, solar lighting, and everything prepared for your comfort.
