11-Day Yoga & Hiking Combo

NAMIBRAND NATURE RESERVE - SOSSUSVLEI - SKELETON COAST - DAMARALAND - SPITZKOPPE

HIKING - ADVENTURE - NATURE - YOGA

2025 Dates COMING SOON!

Yoga and hiking is the perfect combination of adventure & mindfulness. Explore the captivating beauty of Namibia by foot through scenic landscapes and natural attractions. Morning and afternoon yoga sessions to awaken the soul, find peace of mind, to stretch and breathe in the absolute serenity that surrounds you. 

We will start with a 3-day hike in the NamibRand Nature Reserve, a moderate hike that takes you close to the stunning beauty of the desert. Is there a better way to immerse in nature than on foot and combining it with yoga? Whilst walking, you will discover many secrets of the Namib that cannot be experienced when driving and you will get to feel different aspects of the desert – from mountainous terrain to sandy dunes. Relax with a sundowner and enjoy a three-course dinner before falling asleep under the stars...

Onwards to Sossusvlei in the Namib Naukluft Park, exploring the highlights of the area and the famous rolling sand dunes, sculpted by wind over thousands of years. We will climb Big Daddy dune which is about 325m high, admiring Deadvlei from above. After a visit to Sesriem Canyon it’t time to relax by the pool for the rest of the day.

Next we are heading to the Skeleton coast, Here, where the Desert meets the Ocean, you can relax or join one of the many adventurous activities from quad biking, fat wheel biking, ocean safaris, dune boarding, surfing, hot-air ballooning or scenic flights. Then get ready for and authentic 2-day hiking experience in Damaraland. The Etendeka Overnight Walking Trail Experience set in the foothills of the Grootberg Massif is a unique Trek through one of Namibia’s most remote and untouched landscapes. With its never ending vistas of ancient rock formations and desert adapted wildlife en-route, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to connect with nature. Namibia is one of the top destinations in the world for stargazing and the two rustic overnight camps make the most out of sleeping under the breathtaking desert sky.

Aww strikes again as we walk along the bald granite peaks of Spitzkoppe, one of Namibia's most recognisable landmarks and a popular mountaineering and hiking destination. The granite is more than 120 million years old and the highest outcrop rises about 1,728 metres above sea level.

There is no better way to end this yoga and hiking adventure than with a well deserved day of relaxation at a luxury lodge close to Windhoek.

Itinerary & Lodging

  • On arrival at Windhoek International Airport, you will be met and your Namibian adventure begins.

    Our first stop is Windhoek, Namibia’s Capital. After a city tour we will have dinner and discuss what the next 10 days have in store for us.

    Accommodation: The Weinberg

    Includes: DBB (Dinner, bed and breakfast) + City Tour

  • Day 2: Today we head south to the NamibRand Nature Reserve. The drive is about 6 hours along scenic landscapes.

    Arrival at the Tok Tokkie Trails base by 14h00, where their friendly team will welcome you with some refreshments. You can refill water and pack your small daypack for the personal items you would like to take along on the walk. Your luggage will be transferred to the overnight camp by vehicle.

    The trails starts with a visit of the Namib Desert Environmental Education Trust (NaDEET), a non-profit, donor sponsored trust, which aims to develop environmentally responsible citizens of Namibia. (www.nadeet.org).


    A short scenic drive takes you to the starting point of the Tok Tokkie Trail. Today, you will walk over a slope strewn with mysterious “fairy circles” and over rolling sand dunes to the first overnight camp. The dunes are not the massive ones encountered at Sossusvlei, but small, vegetated dunes that have a unique beauty of their own.

    At camp, take in the the magnificent scenery while immersing yourself in yoga, breathing in the freshness of nature… This will be an unforgettable first night sleeping under the stars. If the sky is clear and moonless, you will quickly understand why NamibRand Nature Reserve is one of the few International Dark Sky Reserves in the world.


    Walking time: 1 – 2 hrs, sleeping out in the open on stretcher beds

    Day 3: Early morning tea or coffee is served before sunrise yoga, followed by a light breakfast so that you can set off in the cool of the early morning. The highlights of the walk are the breath-taking views of the dunes and plains as well as the “coming alive” of the desert as the guide allows you to feel, smell, taste and see the oldest living desert in the world. The “morning news”, as written in the sand is always fascinating and with some luck and the guide’s trained eyes, you may spot some of the desert specials (golden mole, dancing white lady, barking gecko, dune lark, flightless wasp just to name a few). You walk over a mountain saddle before descending gently to a dry riverbed.

    During the course of the day your guide will explain some wonders of the Namib to you - how the fascinating desert flora survives, how insect and reptile life adapts to the harsh environment and how mammals can survive here without water. Birding is surprisingly good and you may be lucky enough to see one of Namib endemics, the dune lark. Larger animals you might come across include bat-eared fox, oryx, springbok and ostrich. As we realize that our survival depends on the water that has been deposited for us, this will probably heighten our admiration for the plants and animals that dwell here.

    For lunch we will stop at a shady spot where you can enjoy the treats prepared by our chefs and fill up your water bottles. There is plenty of time to relax, have a siesta and reflect on all you have seen. As the heat recedes you start walking again up and over the dunes to your second overnight spot. The scene in front of you is a sea of endless dunes and “fairy circles” against a backdrop of magnificent mountain scenery. Photography is spectacular! The shadows on the dunes create an ever-changing palette of colors shortly before sunset. Sundowner yoga and a delicious dinner after a long and enjoyable day. You might just hear some barking geckos, owls or just deafening silence.

    Walking time: Morning: 4 – 4.5 hrs / Afternoon: 2 – 2.5 hrs. Sleeping out in the open on stretcher beds.

    Accommodation: Tok Tok Tokkie Trails Trails

    Includes: 2 Nights accommodation under the stars, all meals and hiking

  • Once again you are woken in the soft light shortly before sunrise. Yoga, coffee and breakfast before you set off through the dune field. The soft and rolling dunes are interspersed by camel thorn trees, which provide welcome shade for a rest. Today’s walk is easy and you arrive at Tok Tokkie farmhouse at approximately 11:30.

    Walking time: morning: 3 – 3.5 hrs

    Please note! Sometimes the trail is walked the other way around and the landscape will be seen at different times of the day than described above.

    Once back at the main camp, we will head to our next destination - the Namib Naukluft Park. Relax at the pool for the rest of the afternoon. Tomorrow morning calls for an early start to visit Sossusvlei and Deadvlei.

After all, these monstrous dunes are some of the largest that can be found in the world, reaching heights of 400 meters. We will explore this area and perhaps even climb one of the highest dunes in the world… if you are up for it. Breath and simply take in the peacefulness of all that surrounds you.

    Onwards to the Skeleton Coast for some fun activities and of coarse the fresh ocean breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.

    Swakopmund with its laid back feel, palm trees, great restaurants and german-colonial architecture, has various activities to choose from. Whether you want something active or more relaxed, or even a combination, this coastline will surprise you with what it has to offer.

    Here we will be staying at Desert Breeze Lodge, offering peace, tranquility and the ultimate desert experience. The luxury bungalows with their creative atmosphere and the friendly staff will make your stay one to remember. Breakfast will be at Desert Breeze, lunch and dinner at one of Swakopmund's many cafes’s and restaurants. Yoga sessions will be held either in the desert or on the beach, even both at the same time!

The scenery is incredible as you access the concession on foot and look out onto the pristine rocky plains set against the Namibian sky. Our experienced guide will give us a sense of what awaits as he identifies desert plants and trees.

I love that I can lie in bed at night and hear lions, hippos, hyena, jackals etc, that is why I love being out in the bush. I love your Namibia, and hope to return again for another visit. The tented lodge was amazing, and I would love to go back, especially when the elephants were passing through, what a life experience that would be. Victoria Falls was both soul cleansing and heart opening for me. I was so drawn into the beauty and power it brought me to tears! Thanks again and keep me on your mailing list.
