4 Day Namib Desert Hiking Trail

Time of departure: 14:00 Wintertime, 15:00 Summertime
Today we hike into the Namib desert, towards the 'ringing stones'. On the route we will be able to see much of the deserts very scarce flora and some interesting rock formations. With a bit of luck we will also be able to see some of the very scarce desert wildlife. The first overnight camp will be at the ringing stones (Dinner).

From the ringing stones we will hike into the endless rock canyons at the banks of the Swakop river and at all times expecting the most unsuspected, like finding some tourmalines or just some normal crystal hidden amongst the rocks or in caves. Some parts of the desert will remind you of movies you have seen about the moon. Tonight we will stay over in one of the canyons with a stunning view at sunset over the desert plains (B, L, D).

Today the hike will take us up to the oasis Goanikontes, where we can rest our legs in a cold rock water pool, after which we will hike down the dry Swakop river towards the coast line past some ruins left behind by the colonialist history of the country. Camp will be made under the starlit sky in the desert (B, L, D).
