There's something special about looking out onto an endless horizon knowing it's the hike you endured that got you there. It's all the more satisfying knowing you're one of few who have had the privilege to enjoy it.
From pristine desert landscapes traversing the sand dunes, ascending into and out of Africa's largest canyon or discovering the vast untouched landscapes of some of Namibia's most remote destinations, hiking takes you deeper, further and closer to discovering all it has to offer and more.
If you really want to soak up Namibia’s wild beauty, there’s no better way than on foot. Hiking trails take you into remote, jaw-dropping landscapes – from deep canyons to rocky mountains and wide open desert. It’s a proper adventure where you can slow down, breathe it all in and spot things you’d miss from a vehicle. Plus, there’s something pretty special about ending your day under the stars after earning those views.
The cost of a hiking safari in Namibia ranges from around ZAR 3,300 - ZAR 8,800 + per person per day, depending on the trail, level of comfort, and length of the trip. Budget options like Tok Tokkie Trails start at about ZAR 10,320 for 3 days, while mid-range hikes such as the 4-day Fish River Canyon trail costs around ZAR 15,000. For something more luxurious such as the Onguma Trails experience with upgraded tents and personalised service, expect to pay upwards of ZAR 26,000 for a multi-day experience.
Sure, it can get toasty – this is the desert, after all – but that’s why most hikes happen in the cooler months (May to September) and during the coolest parts of the day. Think early morning starts, shady rest stops, and sundowners earned the sweaty way. With a hat, sunscreen, loads of water and a great guide, you’ll be too busy soaking up epic views and spotting wildlife to worry about the heat.
