Tok Tokkie Trails

There is no main area as such, since Tok Tokie trails does not operate out of a permanent camp. Instead, a support team will set up camp ahead of your arrival each evening, which includes a bar, a campfire with a few camp chairs and a dining table set under the Namib sky, around which a three course meal is served. At lunch, the team sets up a large tarpaulin so you can eat (and have a siesta) in the shade. The facilities are simple but the views and the experience are exceptional.

Your "tents" have no walls or roof - just a sky for a ceiling and the desert sands as a floor. With a maximum of eight guests on each trail, you're guaranteed a bit of privacy behind a dune. You'll find a stretcher bed topped with a thick foam mattress, crisp sheets, a duvet and a fluffy pillow - all protected by a waterproof canvas. A hot water bottle is a particular comfort on cold winter nights. There's one communal "bathroom" at each trail camp, consisting of a bucket shower and a long drop toilet. Both are kept spotless and boast stunning views.

If you like the idea of being close to nature and you really want to get acquainted with a particular region, this is the safari for you. Tok Tokie Trails is more than a trek - it's a magical journey.
