Tok Tokkie Walking Trails

Tok Tokkie Trails are two night, three day walking safaris in the 215,000 hectare NamibRand Private Nature Reserve. The trails explore many different aspects of this beautiful desert region with its starkly beautiful mountains and majestic sand dunes. Walking at a leisurely pace, guests have plenty of time to enjoy the wonders of a desert landscape with its desert adapted wildlife and unique plant life. Birding is surprisingly good, and among the larger animals that are spotted are bat-eared fox, oryx, springbok and ostrich.

Accommodation & Facilities
Walking, with a maximum of eight guests, is split between morning and afternoon hikes with plenty of time for a packed lunch and siesta. There are numerous photographic opportunities, particularly in the dunes when the shadows create an ever changing range of colours. At the end of each day the camp is set up in a scenic spot in time to enjoy a sundowner and three-course dinner before falling asleep under the stars. One of the best things about these safaris is the certainty of absolute seclusion and privacy – there will be nobody else for many miles in any direction.

Wildlife & Activities
Guests carry their own day pack on the walks, with the rest of the luggage following on the support vehicle. Camp facilities include long drop loos and bucket showers and guests sleep in the open on comfortable stretcher beds. Since some of the routes cross rough terrain and sand dunes, a reasonable degree of fitness is recommended to allow guests to comfortably tackle the trials.
