Overview

Tok Tokkie's moderately challenging three-day, two-night guided hiking trail through the sandy dunes and mountainous terrain of Namibia’s beautiful NamibRand Nature Reserve provides a superb opportunity to get out on foot and enjoy delightful close-up encounters with unique desert-adapted wildlife from fog-basking tok-tokkie beetles, to barking geckos, dancing spiders, bat-eared foxes and more.

A highly attentive service team transports overnight luggage between camps by vehicle, so that hikers need only carry a small back pack with supplies for the day’s walk. On arrival at camp in the evenings, guests can relax and enjoy sundowners and a hearty three-course meal with uninterrupted views of the spectacular desert sunset. Fresh water is available at overnight camps from a borehole.

One of the tour’s highlights is sleeping out directly under the stars on comfortable stretcher mattresses, complete with duvet and pillow. In rare cases of bad weather tents may be provided, but generally guests will fall asleep under clear and star-studded night skies.

The trail is ideal for outdoorsy nature lovers who are happy to forgo one or two creature comforts in pursuit of a unique and unforgettable desert experience.

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last

  • Thank you, we had an absolute wonderful time, and everything was well-planned and as described. Carla was crying on the day of our departure from Ants Nest, she didn’t want to go home and for it all to end, and when I asked how much longer she would want to stay, she responded “four weeks”

  • We had the most amazing time. It exceeded all my hopes of what the trip would be. The guides, the hotels - everything was of such a wonderful quality. Thank you for organizing everything. I will absolutely recommend Tourdust and use you again.
