Namib Desert Horse Trails

browse (1 / 3)

Ride into a surreal lunar landscape…

A strange world dominated by enormous sand dunes; etched with deep craggy canyons and punctuated by gigantic rock formations and the skeletons of giant camel thorn trees set against the bluest dome awaits…

This is the lunar landscape of Namibia. Surreal sunsets dominate the horizon: the moon is hung up on a string in one corner of a vast sky while the sinking sun melts in sticky orange beneath the horizon, followed by a deepening dark blue and the emergence of a brilliant canvas of stars. Exploring Namiba by Desert Horse Trails is at once an enchanting and surreal experience.

Beautiful oblivion, a voluminous emptiness, 'The Gates of Hell'…

From the Skeleton Coast, so-named for its whale and seal bones and shipwrecks that litter the coast and known by the bushmen as 'The Land God Made in Anger' and to the Portuguese, 'The Gates of Hell', to the dried up riverbed of Swakop and the high sand dunes of the north, Namibia is a place of unparalleled rugged beauty.

Awake to amazing sunsets, enjoy coffee and tea, and saddle up to explore the desert. Experienced and inexperienced riders alike enjoy the magnificent Namib Desert Horse Trails. Ride for a few hours to find a quaint table set beneath a camel thorn tree and enjoy cheeses on freshly baked bread and fresh coffee before saddling up and winding through wide expansive grassy plains, up and down mountain passes with amazing views of plains with buck, elephant, giraffe and elusive bushmen. Enjoy cocktails at sunset atop mighty sand dunes and sleep in tents or beneath the open sky. Namib Desert Horse Trails are the ideal way to explore the untouched, rugged landscapes of Namibia.
