Go on the adventure of a lifetime…

An Epic 4x4 Namibian Expedition

Exploring a 55 million year old desert

Explore the towering sand dunes, desert wildlife, spectacular scenery, untouched beaches, abandoned mining settlements and shipwrecks for the 4×4 experience of a lifetime! Your professionally guided action packed 4×4 tour starts in Aus and finishes in Walvis Bay, covering over 600 km of the most magnificent and untouched dunes in 7 adventurous days. Experience the freedom and thrill of isolated desert, crystal clear starry nights and the brightest blue skies. In Namibia, you don’t have to worry about bumping into any familiar faces as you explore some of the world’s highest sand dunes in the world’s oldest desert. Namibia is the 34th largest country in the world but with only 2.5 million inhabitants it is the second least densely populated country – allowing for a unique sense of exclusivity on your African adventure. The sand dunes are utterly spectacular – a product of the unforgiving, icy Atlantic ocean and strong winds coupled together with many millions of years.

Unique Sights

The oldest desert in the world (more than 55 million years), is unique in itself. Add to that, desert lions, gemsbok and a myriad of creatures found nowhere else on earth, shipwrecks and ghost towns and you have the makings of an adventure like no other!

Namibia Travel Basics

You are free to wear whatever you choose while vacationing in Namibia. You’ll encounter locals wearing both Western-style attire as well as traditional tribal dress. Just remember, everything that you bring will be covered in dust by the time you leave. Don’t bring anything that you don’t want to get dirty. Opportunistic crime is an occasional occurrence so leave expensive jewelry at home. You’ll want breathable clothing for the unrelenting midday sun (sunscreen is an absolute necessity – especially for your arms while driving), clothing that will cover you from the mosquitoes that come out around sunset, and clothes that you don’t mind getting filthy. For advice on what to wear and what accessories (like hat and sunglasses) to bring, click here.

Visitors from the United States, South Africa, Australia, Germany, Canada, Japan, and the UK qualify for a 90-day visa on arrival. Check your visa requirements here.

You’ll need to carry a few essentials on your back whenever we stop to go walkabout – your camera, binoculars, and a water bottle. You’ll want a bag that can easily fit everything you need without weighing you down.

Keeping all of your electronics charged while camping and driving can be incredibly challenging. While most campgrounds offer electricity at each site you don’t necessarily want to leave your phone or camera battery charging outside all night. And surprisingly we couldn’t find a car charger in any stores anywhere in Namibia! So be sure to pick up a dual charger before your trip.

You’ll want to have a headlamp for setting up and taking down your tent, cooking after sunset, and finding your way to the toilet in the middle of the night.

We love taking Luci Lights on our 4×4 trips because they are super lightweight, pack down small, and are solar powered so they’re easy to charge on the dash while you’re driving. Hang them around your campsite or in your tent to keep you illuminated after the sun goes down.

You’ll want to bring a DSLR camera to Namibia that has a good zoom lens for taking wildlife photos. If you’re just getting started with photography and want a nice entry-level DSLR camera, the Nikon D3400 DSLR Camera is a great choice. It’s relatively inexpensive and lightweight. You’ll get some amazing photos and videos during your trip to Namibia! You can check out our entire travel photography packing list here!

When we set up camp, you’ll absolutely love taking a shower at the end of the day to cool down and de-dust yourself. Invest in a compact and quick-drying towel for drying off and also for when we come across places where you want to take a dip! For a list of toiletries to pack, click here.
