At a glance

Get ready for a desert wonderland on this adventurous ride. From the great dune sea of the central Namib to the very edge of the stunning Sperrgebiet National Park, this ride covers very diverse desert terrain: immense grassy plains, signature inselbergs (island mountains), dunes and the rugged Tiras Mountain Reserve as a dramatic backdrop. This incomparable ride ends at Klein-Aus Vista, near the home of the wild horses of the Namib.

Desert-adapted game are encountered during the day, where open country with good going allows for some fast-paced riding. On the last day there is no riding, as you’ll visit the coastal town of Luderitz, explore the extraordinary ‘ghost town’ of Kolmanskop – the town the desert is ‘reclaiming’ – and encounter the wild horses of the Namib.

More information

Eat, ride, sleep, repeat. That’s the rhythm of this epic expedition through the Namib Desert. You’ll camp wild for eight nights with all the essential camp life luxuries: ice in your sundowners, hot bucket showers, delicious food around companionable campfires and incredible Milky Way views. Living with your horse 24/7 in wild, remote areas is a life-changing sensation and is most likely why these Namibian expeditions have such a high return rate. Close bonds are built with your fellow travel companions and four-legged friends as you live this adventure together.

The first night of the trip you’ll stay in a lodge near Windhoek. The last night is spent in a camp in Geistershlucht (Ghost Valley). Your luggage is transported in vehicles each day.

What do others say?

Laure-Anne from Outside the Corral has made a dream come true for me. Not only did I go to a beautiful country to hike for days with these beautiful animals, she encouraged me to realize my very first (!) vacation alone. The fact that those 2 things were allowed to come together was really a gift. It was a last-minute decision of mine: within 2 weeks I was already traveling! All my ideas came together in a trip to beautiful Slovenia. I made wonderful memories there and made new friends from all over the world. If I wanted to do something for myself again and combine this with my passion for horses; then Laure-Anne is under my speed dial!

About

I had a fantastic time on the Best of South-West Iceland ride! We explored stunning landscapes filled with mountains, valleys, and volcanic beaches. Riding Icelandic horses for the first time was truly one-of-a-kind. This was my second trip with OTC, and as always, everything was flawlessly organized. My only regret is that the adventure seemed to pass by in the blink of an eye. A huge shoutout to Laure-Anne for her impeccable planning!

Just back from a week at Monte Velho (Portugal). It was a flawless trip and top service by Laure-Anne, thank you. An incredible and unique experience in a beautiful infrastructure and breathtaking environment. The instructors are all professional and very passionate, you are welcomed by a heartwarming family, and really a place full of history. A great riding holiday to remember!
