🌄 Erongo Rocks — Something Special Awaits in 2025!
After an unforgettable 2024 adventure at Spitzkoppe, this year we’re heading to a new gem — Erongo Rocks 💎
🔥 Imagine sitting around a crackling campfire, the haunting call of a jackal in the distance, as the last rays of sunlight melt into the vast Namibian sky…
📍 Hidden in the heart of the Erongo Mountain Nature Sanctuary, this place is one of Namibia’s best-kept secrets — perfectly located between Etosha, Windhoek & Swakopmund. Closest town? Omaruru.
🏕️ Our base, Camp 360, is tucked between giant granite boulders — just 600m from the farmhouse where our legendary hosts Didi & Terry will spoil us with home-cooked breakfasts and dinners 😋
✨ We call it Comfy Camping because the mattresses are thick, cozy and the nights are full of stars. And really — is there a better way to sleep in Africa than in a tent under the sky?
🥾 From jeep tracks to scenic hiking trails, the entire farm is open for exploring. Some trails even start right from the farmhouse door!
🦅 Wildlife? Absolutely. Expect everything from the rare black mongoose to majestic Verreaux’s eagles soaring overhead. The Erongo Mountains are alive with birds, game, and breath-taking views.
🧭 Adventure. 🌿 Comfort. 🌌 Wilderness.
This is Erongo Rocks.
And it's going to be something truly special 💫

Namibian Tour 2025 HIGHLIGHTS #6

Epupa Falls: Namibia’s Hidden Wonder
Nestled on the border of Namibia and Angola, Epupa Falls—also known as Monte Negro Falls in Angola—is a breathtaking series of waterfalls formed by the Cunene River in the remote Kaokoland region of Namibia’s Kunene Region.
The name Epupa, derived from the Herero word for “foam,” perfectly captures the dramatic spray created as the wide river plunges down a rocky gorge. The falls stretch over 1.5 kilometres, with a series of cascades—some reaching up to 37 meters in height—creating hundreds of natural pools. In total, the river drops approximately 60 meters, offering a spectacular and continuous display of raw natural power.
Although considered the most significant waterfalls in Namibia, their remote location keeps them blissfully uncrowded, making a visit here a truly off-the-beaten-track experience. Exploring Epupa and its surroundings is a must for any traveller venturing into northern Namibia.
________________________________________
A Sanctuary on the Kunene River
Our lodge, located on the banks of the Kunene River, offers an authentic wilderness retreat in one of Namibia’s most untouched and dramatic landscapes. Perched on a wooden deck, sheltered by lush vegetation, the accommodations still offer sweeping views of Epupa Falls and the surrounding gorge.
Enjoy your meals and drinks in our open-air dining and bar areas, which make the most of the magnificent scenery—even when you’re relaxing between adventures. A hilltop swimming pool provides a tranquil escape from the midday heat, while our on-site masseuse offers rejuvenating treatments for those seeking a bit of indulgence after a day of exploration.
Whether you’re cooling off in a natural rock pool, hiking the rugged terrain, or simply soaking in the serenity of the falls at sunset, Epupa Falls promises an unforgettable encounter with nature—more than a destination, it’s a true immersion into the wild beauty of Kaokoland.

Highlights part FIVE . . .
NAMIBIAN TOUR 17 – 28 September 202

Lone Men of Kaokoland
There are said to be 37 outdoor sculptures, each one unique. They provoke intriguing questions: Who created them? Why? The stones remain silent, guarding their secrets and deepening the allure of Kaokoland’s raw and untouched beauty. How many will we discover on our journey?
In the forgotten landscapes of Namibia’s Kaokoland—places like Purros, Van Zyl’s Pass, and the haunting Skeleton Coast—stand the mysterious stone men. These enigmatic sculptures, scattered across the stark, rugged terrain, stir the imagination and have become symbolic of the region’s compelling and enigmatic history.
Each figure is meticulously crafted from stone, silently narrating a story for those curious enough to stop and wonder. Sitting, standing, kneeling, crawling, hands raised or clinging to rock—each pose feels deliberate and intimate, like frozen whispers in time.
________________________________________
Kaokoland: Namibia’s Wild Heart
Though now officially part of the Kunene Region, “Kaokoland” remains the evocative, informal name for this vast and remote wilderness. It stretches from the Hoanib River in the south to the Kunene River in the north, which forms the border with Angola. This is one of Namibia’s most sparsely populated and wildest areas—where dramatic landscapes, cultural heritage, and timeless solitude converge.
________________________________________
The Story of Fort Sesfontein
Journey through time in the remote reaches between Damaraland and Kaokoveld and uncover the layered history of Fort Sesfontein. Originally established as a German military outpost in 1896, the fort was built at a site known for its six perennial springs, which offered water for people, wildlife, and agriculture.
Long before the fort was built, however, the area saw the migration of the Himba people, around 500 years ago, from drought-stricken northeastern Africa. They brought with them their resilient way of life, herding livestock and thriving in this challenging environment.
Today, Fort Sesfontein lives on as a gateway to adventure and cultural discovery. The Fort Sesfontein Lodge & Safaris, along with the Sesfontein Conservancy, continues the legacy of conservation, offering experiences that celebrate the region’s wildlife, history, and unique heritage.
________________________________________
Opuwo: More Than a Destination
Perched on a hilltop in Opuwo, our secluded lodge gaze’s northwest over vast valleys, offering breathtaking 360º views of Kaokoland’s untouched wilderness. As the sun sinks into the horizon, painting the sky with unforgettable hues, you’ll understand why this place leaves such lasting memories.
Far from the crowds and firmly rooted in authenticity, this is not just a getaway—it’s a journey into the soul of Namibia’s most remote and fascinating region.

Highlights part 4 . . . Petrified Forest / Organ Pipes / Burnt Mountain / Twyfelfontein / Khowarib Gorge and Lodge

NAMIBIAN TOUR 17 – 28 September 2025

Petrified forests are deposits of large of scattered trunks and logs that have "turned to stone" through a process known as diagenesis. Each piece of petrified wood is a natural work of art. These formations are a testament to the power and beauty of geological processes and are estimated to be around 280 million years old. The petrification process occurs over millennia as trees are buried by sediment. Resulting in the stunning petrified remains we see today, some reaching up to 45 meters in length. While exploring the area, visitors may also encounter Welwitschia mirabilis, a fascinating living fossil that continues to grow alongside the ancient tree trunks.
________________________________________
The Organ Pipes are a remarkable rock formation that resembles the pipes of a church organ. They were formed by volcanic activity approximately 120 million years ago. Located near a small inselberg around Twyfelfontein, these columnar basalt formations showcase a unique display of colours and textures, offering a geological highlight in an otherwise arid landscape.
________________________________________
Burnt Mountain, or Verbrandeberg, is a striking hill shaped by ancient lava flows that have since solidified. Its name comes from the dramatic transformation it underwent millions of years ago, resulting in a dark, scorched appearance. Declared a national monument in 1956, Burnt Mountain continues to awe visitors with its otherworldly landscape and geological significance.
________________________________________
Twyfelfontein, officially known as ǀUi-ǁAis, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in north-western Namibia. Renowned as an "open-air gallery," it contains the largest single concentration of rock engravings in southern Africa. These petroglyphs, created thousands of years ago, depict animals, human figures, and symbolic designs, offering a vivid insight into the lives and beliefs of ancient hunter-gatherer communities.
________________________________________
Formed by the Hoanib River, Khowarib Gorge is a breathtaking geological formation that defines the boundary between Kaokoland to the north and Damaraland to the south. Nestled on the banks of the river, Khowarib Lodge features unique units built on stilts over the riverbed, offering unrivalled, shady views of the surrounding cliffs. Situated on the fringe of Kaokoland, the lodge serves as a perfect base for exploring the nearby attractions, including the Petrified Forest, Organ Pipes, Burnt Mountain, and Twyfelfontein.

Why You Need to Join Us on This Unforgettable Motorcycle Tour Through Namibia. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a journey through some of the most breath-taking and remote destinations on Earth.

Highlights Part 3 . . .
Namibian Tour September 2025

Brandberg – Namibia’s Highest Mountain
Rising majestically from the plains of Damaraland, the Brandberg is Namibia’s highest mountain and a striking granite monolith visible from miles around. This ancient massif is not only a geographical landmark but also a cultural treasure trove, most notably for the White Lady, a famous rock painting found in the Tsisab Gorge.
Shrouded in mystery, the White Lady has inspired numerous theories about its origin and meaning. Though once misidentified as a depiction of a European woman, it is now widely accepted as a San (Bushmen) painting, believed to be over 2,000 years old. The figure portrayed is likely a shaman, engaged in a ritual dance—an evocative symbol of Namibia’s deep cultural roots.
________________________________________
Desert-Adapted Elephants of Brandberg
The desert or desert-adapted elephants that roam the Brandberg region are a rare and remarkable sight. These are African bush elephants that have evolved to survive the arid extremes of the Namib and surrounding deserts. Though not genetically distinct from other elephants, they display unique behavioural and physical adaptations.
Smaller and leaner than their savannah counterparts, these elephants can travel great distances without water and are skilled at digging for underground sources in dry riverbeds. The Ugab River area, near Brandberg, is one of the best places to observe these elusive creatures. While sightings are common, they remain wild and unpredictable making every encounter a special one.
________________________________________
Stay at Brandberg White Lady Lodge
Located at the base of Namibia’s tallest mountain, the Brandberg White Lady Lodge offers a truly immersive Damaraland experience. Renowned for its tranquillity, hospitality, and warm-hearted service, the lodge feels like a home away from home—where time slows down and nature takes centre stage.
This peaceful retreat embraces the spirit of the wild. Clocks, cell phones, and schedules fade into the background as you connect with the timeless landscape. The lodge features a well-stocked bar (keep an eye out for the friendly resident meerkat!), a comfortable lounge, and two large swimming pools perfect for cooling off after a day of exploration on two wheels.
As the sun dips below the horizon, enjoy sundowners on the unique sunset deck, followed by a delicious meal in the dining room—each dish inspired by the esprit of the surrounding area. Whether you're here for the elephants, the ancient art, or the serenity of the desert, the Brandberg White Lady Lodge promises a deeply memorable stay.

Feel the wind as you ride across vast open plains, navigate winding desert trails, and roll through rugged mountain passes. From the eerie shipwrecks of the Skeleton Coast to the mystical rock art of Brandberg.

Highlights part 2...
NAMIBIAN TOUR 17 – 28 September 2025

Skeleton Coast
The northern stretch of Namibia’s Atlantic coast, from the Kunene River to the Swakop River, is famously known as the Skeleton Coast. This remote, roughly 40 km-wide strip of land encompasses about one-third of the country’s coastline, much of which lies within the Skeleton Coast National Park—a vast, rugged area that is largely inaccessible by road.
The name “Skeleton Coast” originates from the whale and seal bones that once littered its beaches, alongside the numerous shipwrecks that dot its shores. Rusted hulls emerging from the mist serve as eerie reminders of the sea’s unforgiving nature. This stark and hauntingly beautiful landscape captures the raw power of nature in one of the world’s most isolated regions.
________________________________________
Cape Cross Seal Colony
Located along the Skeleton Coast, Cape Cross is home to one of the largest colonies of Cape fur seals in the world. Over 200,000 seals gather here year-round, drawn by the abundant fish supplied by the nutrient-rich Benguela Current. The colony thrives on the rocky shoreline, offering a unique spectacle of wildlife.
Cape Cross also holds historical significance: it marks the site where Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão first set foot on Namibian soil in 1486. Today, this area is a National Heritage Site, merging ecological wonder with rich colonial history.
________________________________________
Henties Bay
In 1488, explorer Bartolomeu Dias sailed past the Namibian coast and impressed by the vast shoals of fish, named the region Praia das Sardinhas—the “Coast of Fish.”
The town of Henties Bay owes its name to Major Hendrik “Henty” Stefanus van der Merwe, who discovered a freshwater spring here in 1929. Captivated by the area’s beauty, he returned during the following Christmas and built a wooden hut. What started as “Henty se Baai” (Henty’s Bay) slowly developed into a cherished holiday destination. By 1966, plots were sold, and a hotel was built the following year, transforming the area into a budding tourist resort.
________________________________________
“Ietsiemeer” Beach House
While staying in Henties Bay, we’ll enjoy the comforts of “Ietsiemeer”—Afrikaans for “A little bit more.” This luxurious self-catering beach house is perfect for groups.
The centrepiece of the home is the pavilion, where guests can enjoy over 180 degrees of uninterrupted sea views. By day, dolphins can often be seen playing in the surf; by night, stunning sunsets provide the perfect backdrop to unwind.
The house features a cozy inner deck with a circular braai (barbecue) inviting everyone to gather around, put their feet up, enjoy a glass of wine, and share stories old and new. Designed in true Namibian-braai style, this sheltered outdoor area offers protection from the cool evening sea breeze, making it ideal for socializing and enjoying outdoor meals in any weather.
