Namibia Nomads road trip and 4x4
Where do you sleep on the way?
Where do you sleep on the way?
Camping is part of the magic of Namibia Nomads. You'll be sleeping in the great outdoors, in unique locations, with your rooftop tent set up on the 4x4. The comfort is simpler than in a lodge, but the experience is unmatched: breathtaking landscapes and that unforgettable feeling of freedom.
Good news: most campsites are well-equipped, with restrooms, always a restaurant on-site and at many stops, a pool to cool off after the road or a safari. In the evening, enjoy the sunset… followed by an absolutely stunning starry sky.
And some stops are worth the detour on their own: at Spitzkoppe, you camp at the foot of granite giants, under a spectacular starry sky. At Sesriem, you sleep at the gates of the Namib dunes, perfect for an early start to see the desert in its most beautiful light.
