Camping is part of the magic of Namibia Nomads. You'll sleep in the great outdoors, at unique sites, with your roof tent set up on the 4x4. The comfort is simpler than in a lodge, but the experience is one-of-a-kind: stunning landscapes and that unforgettable feeling of freedom.
Good news: the campsites are equipped with restrooms, always have an on-site restaurant, and often feature a pool to cool off after the road or a safari.
At Spitzkoppe, you camp at the foot of the red rocks, under a spectacular starry sky. At Sesriem, you sleep at the gates of Sossusvlei, perfect for an early start to admire the desert in its most beautiful light.
