Kayak with the seals, traverse the desert, search for rhino on foot in the harsh, rugged ‘outback’, soar above the dunes in a hot air balloon, wild camp in the far flung reaches of Namibia’s most remote regions - and this is just the beginning.
A self-drive safari in itself is an adventure and every itinerary in Namibia can be classified as adventurous but we’re channeling special experiences into the wild. Something to thrill your inner Bear Grylls. It’s not all adrenaline but the experiences sure will get your heart racing as there is nothing else like it.
Hike the Fish River Canyon with not much more than a backpack. Explore the red sands of the Namib Desert on foot. Sleep under a blanket of stars in a 'fairy circle'. Go on a 4x4 escapade of Namibia’s most unrelenting terrain. Even better, combine it with a quad bike adventure on the endless pans of the Makgadikgadi, go canoe the channels of the Okavango Delta or explore on a walking safari and sleep out in the raw wilderness on Chief’s Island. Go shark cage diving in Cape Town. Hike up Table Mountain.
Adventure is everywhere. In our special part of southern Africa there is no shortage of it. You’ll find it at every turn and if you aren’t sure where to look, we know all the best experiences, what not to miss and the ‘must includes’ that will take your itinerary up a notch and see you exploring deeper, going further and living just a little harder.
Adventure is going beyond. It’s the unusual. It’s about the experiences that not everyone has the guts to attempt. The experiences that take a safari itinerary from ordinary to extraordinary. Once in a life-time kind of stuff that you’ll remember forever and always look to top.
Africa is vast. It’s wild and untouched. There’s so much to discover and experience. You’ll need a lifetime to do it all. Let the adventure begin.
Not at all! While some activities like hiking the Fish River Canyon or multi-day treks require good fitness, most adventure safaris can be tailored to your level. Whether you're up for walking safaris, 4x4 off-road driving, or simply want to sleep under the stars in a remote setting, there’s something for every pace and comfort level. Just let us know what you're comfortable with and we’ll design the adventure around you — no extreme fitness required, just a love for the outdoors.
Absolutely — and we recommend it! Adventure doesn’t mean you have to be on the go 24/7. You can hike through desert canyons one day, then unwind at a lodge with a pool and a sundowner the next. Our itineraries are fully flexible, so we’ll build in high-energy days alongside time to relax, recharge, and soak up the scenery. That way, you get the thrill of exploration with the balance of a proper holiday.
Namibia is packed with wild, off-the-beaten-track destinations. For serious adventure, head to Kaokoland for remote 4x4 expeditions and Himba encounters, or explore the rugged trails and desert-adapted wildlife of Damaraland. The Fish River Canyon is perfect for multi-day hikes, while the endless dunes of the Namib Desert are ideal for quad biking and dune boarding. Want something truly remote? Try wild camping in Marienfluss or navigating Van Zyl’s Pass. It’s raw, remote and utterly unforgettable.
