FAQ

General

Is there on-site support?

On arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by our local partners and rangers. They will greet you and give you a brief introduction before your trip begins.

You will also be given access to a chat group with all the other participants departing on the same date just before you set off. You can use this group to chat with each other or with our team.

With how many people can I book this road trip?

Namibia Nomads has been specifically designed for groups of 2, 3 or 4 people.

If you are a group of 3 or 4, we will provide an extra rooftop tent and camping material, as one rooftop tent can only accommodate 2 people.

Would you like to participate with more than 4 people? That's possible, but you will have to organise into smaller groups. Each group has to register separately and will be allocated its own car. Do not hesitate to contact us in advance so we can check whether there are still enough available cars.
