Hiking in Namibia is a truly great experience.  Here, you can enjoy endless views, feel at one with nature and fully appreciate the beauty and harshness of the land.  There are numerous places that all levels of walkers can enjoy and the best time to hike is between April and October when the weather is cooler.  Namibian summers can be incredibly hot - over 40c and as rains fall during summer, there is also the risk of flash flooding in some parts so it's not really a time of year that we recommend.   Hiking trails vary in length, some are located on private properties, there are organisations that also run specific hiking trails or alternatively we can book trails with National Parks but this must consist of at least 2 and no more than 10 people - waiting lists for these can also be lengthy.  Before taking up any of these trails a recent medical certificate must be shown. Longer distance hiking here is wonderful but not for those looking for a leisurely stroll!
