TOUR PROFILE |
|
Namibia’s spectacular scenic beauty and diverse colourful bird-
and wildlife as well as the noises of the African nights, can only be
experienced on a adventurous camping safari into the remote and isolated
regions far off the normal tourist route.
For more than 20 years has
Namibia Tracks & Trails been
organising lodge- and camping tours in Namibia and offer all the
excitement of a true African experience backed by the know-how to make
it a truly memorable trip.
We keep social responsibility in mind, when planning and executing
trips. We support ecological tourism, and are fully aware of the fact
that tourism can have an affect on the natural environment of wildlife
and cultural diversity of indigenous people.
All our guides are dedicated conservationists with a sound knowledge of
the fauna, flora and cultures of the region. They love their country,
have been raised in it and know what is has to offer. They speak three
languages and are able to communicate with the ethnic groups of Namibia.

Three wholesome meals are served at table. Breakfast is
“full English” style. Lunch consists of cold meats, salads, pickled
cucumbers, olives, asparagus, fresh vegetables and fruit. Dinner is a
three course meal. At dinner, wine and beer are part of the deal - so
are sun-downer drinks, i.e gin tonic or even a Scotch.

guaranteeing a window seat per client with a 1 plus 4 clients seat or 1
plus 6 clients seat configuration. Vehicles are equipped with huge
sliding windows and photo roof hatches. Each vehicle is equipped with a

The joy of camping in Namibia is being able to get off the beaten track
to experience the beautiful wilderness and nature.

NAMIBIA - a land of compelling beauty, abundant sunshine, wide horizons,
endless stretches of golden sands and seas of red dunes, rocky plains,
beaches, nature parks and modern towns. Discover the most remote area
with us on one of our exciting camping safaris.
It is off the beaten track, and many of the areas visited do not have
the infrastructure that the package tourist may require.
Our experienced Namibian guides and well-equipped four wheel drive
vehicles and equipment promise an unforgettable adventure.The knowledge and expertise of these guides have been invaluable in
putting together camping tours, which take you into sometimes desolate
and inhospitable
terrain.
