The Etendeka Overnight Walking Trail Experience set in the foothills of the Grootberg Massif is a unique new offering from the Etendeka Lodge Company and the Etendeka Community Trust (comprising the Anabeb and Omatendeka Community Conservancies). The experience promises to be an authentic and exhilarating engagement with nature. Trek through one of Namibia’s most remote and untouched landscapes on foot, have sundowners as you look out over never ending vistas of ancient rock formations and sleep under a blanket of stars. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect with nature.
Opening 01 June 2018
A unique guided journey into a remote conservation area filled with desert life.
Join some of Namibia’s most experienced and knowledgeable guides as they introduce you to the incredible life that lies largely hidden in this seemingly harsh but breathtaking landscape.
Sleeping under open Namibian skies
The two rustic overnight camps make the most of sleeping under the breathtaking desert sky. The five sleeping platforms are raised off the ground to ensure that guests are safe and comfortable, while having the unparalleled experience of falling asleep to the night sounds of the wilderness under a starry sky. Comfortable ‘bed-rolls’ are your bed for the night, each have inflatable mattresses, 100% cotton linen and duvets for your comfort.
Itinerary: Etendeka Overnight Walking Trail Experience
Choose either the 2 or 3 night experience with the additional option of extending your experience with a night or two at the original Etendeka Mountain Camp.
Day 1: Palmwag Lodge pick up point to River Camp
After handing over your luggage and filling your water bottle, start your walk from Palmwag Lodge into the Etendeka Concession for approximately 2 to 3 hours to your 1st overnight camp.
Day 2: River Camp to Mountain Camp
After your first night under the stars wake up early to the sounds and smells of the wilderness. Enjoy a light breakfast, pack your lunch pack, travel snacks and water into the containers and backpacks provided and start your walk to Mountain Camp. The distance of this walk is between 15km and 20km and should take about 6 to 7 hours, including stops, depending on the groups fitness level. In the afternoon you will be able do a short sundowner walk around the plateau. Guests will enjoy a simple but delicious and wholesome dinner around the fire. Settle in on your sleeping platform perched on the edge of the mountain and enjoy the night under the stars.
Day 3: Mountain Camp back to Mountain Camp or departure
Depart back to Palmwag Lodge on a scenic drive or enjoy another long walk and overnight at Mountain Camp.
