About this trip

Hiking and spending the night in the vastness of the African savannah offers the most intense nature experience. The red sand dunes and the grass and tree planes of the Kalahari will captivate every traveller. Feel the hot desert wind on your skin; watch antelope herds in the vast veld; spot giraffes feeding among the trees; and take in the burning African sunset.
Enjoy an African Braai at the campfire on a dune before listening to the sounds of the night under the starry sky. In the morning, shortly before sunrise, grab a hot cup of coffee and watch gnus and zebras at the water hole before experiencing that magic moment when the sun comes up in glittering gold just behind the dunes. All of a sudden, the temperature turns comfortably warm, the night is over, a new day has begun. Africa. The Kalahari Desert Walk perfectly combines a stay at the Kalahari Red Dunes Lodge, as well as a second night at a luxury tented camp in the dunes after an exhausting but rewarding day’s hike!
