Important for the tour

Meals during the expedition will be prepared in the traditional Namibian style, cooked outdoors on an open fire using the popular local method of braai (barbecue). The food will lean heavily towards meat dishes, which are a staple in the Namibian diet. For those preferring not to eat meat, tinned fish is also available as an alternative.
The expedition begins with a night in lightweight netted tents at a rustic campsite, equipped with basic shower and toilet facilities, allowing you to relax and acclimate. For the next five nights, you'll camp under the stars in the bush, using simple base-camp latrines and a screened expedition shower. Our last night we’ll spend in a premium glamping facility, leaving space for rest.

What to bring to the tour

3-season sleeping bag – the weather will be about 30C during the day, dropping as low as 5C at night
Rucksack: 60-70 litres
Cut-down cheap foam mat (if using with a thermarest, then just a yoga mat will do, to protect from thorns)
Thermarest (optional for comfort – a ¾ length would be best)
Head torch and spare batteries
Pee bottle (if there are scary things outside at night)
Toothbrush and small paste
Small pack of wet-wipes
Small med kit and personal medication
Leather hiking boots, preferably over the ankle
Wool socks x3
Cotton cargo trousers (no zip-offs)
Tough cotton shirt light colour
Wide brim hat
Sunglasses
Sunscreen – P20 works well
A large mug (can double as a bowl)
Knife / fork / spoon
Swiss army knife
Loud whistle
Compass
4-liter water bladder
2x 1-liter water bottles
Foil survival blanket
