Huab Trails

As we continue to expand our own product offerings in Namibia, all with a strong commitment to help preserve wild places through impact investments, we are delighted to introduce our newest venture Huab Trails.

Based out of the already popular and successful Huab Under Canvas, Huab Trails embraces the ever-growing desire by guests to be physically active when on holiday, and to experience more of the natural world on foot. Huab Trails is a multi-day naturalist guided walking adventure which has been designed to be an optional element of a three night stay at Huab Under Canvas when that is part of an Ultimate Safaris guided or fly-in safari. When this is requested, the first and third nights will be spent at Huab Under Canvas, and the middle night will be at Huab Trails, sleeping out under the stars in the form of our own Stellar Escape.

Walks vary between 8 – 12 km per day with multiple Trail Treats set up along the way, ranging from picnic lunches and hammock siestas to strategic desert lemonade and ice cream stops. Designed to allow guests to really reconnect with the natural world, Huab Trails also aspires to provide unlikely and surprising experiences which will create lasting impressions.

Our tribe of magicians and naturalist guides ensure life enriching experiences, all whilst exposing guests to the true raw beauty that Namibia offers when having the luxury of travelling on foot in an unfenced and visually stunning wilderness area.
