Cycle Namibia’s wild landscapes from dunes to Etosha on a guided adventure combining scenic rides, fat biking and game drives, with a mix of camping and hotel nights.
On this cycling adventure in Namibia, we spend seven nights camping and four nights in hotels – bring your swimwear, most of the places we stay have pools. Below is a rundown of the hotels we typically use and some advice on camping.
Hotels
Windhoek: Arebbusch Lodge (night 1)
Our guesthouse is only a 10-minute drive from the city centre yet is spacious with two swimming pools and one of the best pizzerias in the capital. It also has a beautiful garden with indigenous trees.
Swakopmund: Prost Hotel (nights 5-6)
After a few camping nights, we hop back into a clean, comfy room with a stay at the Prost Hotel. When we’re not out riding dunes on fat bikes, this 28-room hotel is well-placed for visiting Swakopmund and its pubs, restaurants, and cake and coffee shops.
Waterberg: Waterberg Resort (night 11)
We spend our final night of the trip in the comforts of the Waterberg Resort, where we can sink into a comfy bed. Find further relaxation in the swimming pool and enjoy our last night together in the restaurant and bar.
Camping
Namibia is a fantastic destination for camping. The landscapes are grand and unpopulated, wildlife is widespread plus the campsites are clean and well maintained. All communal camping gear is provided, including spacious two-person dome tents, thick foam mattresses and folding stools, although you need to take your own sleeping bag and pillow.
Worth knowing
For camping on nights 2, 4, 8, 9 and 10, it's possible to upgrade to a room - speak to your sales representative for more details.
