Dates & Availability
Tier Pricing
Adventure travel works best with a small group of people. In order to operate these small groups, our trips are priced according to the number of full-price passengers on the trip. (Mountain Travel Sobek staff, trip doctors, and other discounted travelers are excluded from the count for this purpose.) We initially invoice you at the highest tier level price (the smallest group size we can operate). If the price drops due to an increase in group size, you will be refunded the difference.
Check Current Availability, prices, specials with MT Sobek (Mountain Travel Sobek).
The total tour cost includes the tour price (regular or promotional) and the compulsory local payment. The promotional price is subject to change. Check directly with the operator for the latest price offer. The tour operator requires you to pay only the tour price to purchase your travel. The compulsory local payment will be paid when you join the trip. All prices are based on double, twin or triple share occupancy. Solo passengers will be accommodated in a double, twin or triple room according to availability with a passenger(s) of the same gender. Single supplement only needs to be paid if the passenger does not want to share and requests their own room. Discounts can only be applied at the time of booking and cannot be added at a later date, regardless of any changes made to the original booking.
Prices may vary due to local taxes and trip seasonality. Click "Request Info" to inquire directly with the tour operator for the final trip price.

Accommodation
Andersson's Camp — Etosha, Namibia
Named for Charles Andersson, the Swedish explorer who first "discovered" the Etosha pan in 1851, Andersson's Camp is set against the stunning backdrop of the low Ondundozonanandana Mountains. Located within the private Ongava Game Reserve, which borders Etosha National Park, the camp looks onto a watering hole where guests can observe wildlife throughout the day and night. Between viewings of rhinos, zebras, giraffes, lions and more, guests can enjoy the grounds of this former farmhouse, which has been updated with modern facilities such as a dining area, bar and swimming pool. Tents, actually more like huts, radiate outwards into the secluded Mopane woodlands typical of the region. They feature simple yet elegant decor, and have been constructed using mix of stone cladding, canvas and wood, with a small veranda and open-air en-suite bathrooms. It's an atmospheric camp with incredible wildlife watching.
Camp Kipwe — Damaraland, Namibia
From a distance, it looks like a collection of boulders that have settled after a landslide. Upon closer inspection, you see it, nestled among the massive rocks—a grouping of thatched roof huts that cleverly blend in with their impressive surroundings. This singular hotel experience is Camp Kipwe, made up of nine elegant yet understated bungalows. Outside each bungalow is an en-suite bathroom, with a shower, and a private veranda overlooking the surrounding plains. The views of Damaraland's unique geological landscape are stunning, and the wildlife that awaits to be seen is awe-inspiring. After a long day of tracking elephant herds, return to the peaceful lodge for an excellent meal and sundowner cocktails—a perfect end to an incredible adventure.
Damaraland Mobile Camp — Damaraland, Namibia
Our mobile camps are non-participatory and serviced to ensure that guests are extremely comfortable while out in the less developed and remote wilderness areas. We use 10ft x10f x 7ft igloo tents with built-in groundsheet and mosquito screens on all doors and windows. Each tent is equipped with bedside tables, camp beds, a bed roll contianing a mattress, duvet, pillow, sheet and towel. Ablutions, with flush toilet and running water in the showers, are shared among guests.
Desert Homestead Outpost — Sossusvlei
Deep in the desert of Sossusvlei, Desert Homestead Lodge Outpost offers relaxed hospitality in a spectacular natural atmosphere. Enjoy the impressive panoramic views from one of the 12 stylish guesthouses, which offer shaded sun decks, air conditioning, coffee makers and refrigerators. The main house features a restaurant, lounge and pool area. On the wide open plains there are often cheetahs to observe, roaming the endless grasslands.
Galton House — Windhoek, Namiba
Galton House is one of Windhoek's newest accommodation establishments. The seven rooms are all equipped with internet connectivity, satelite television, coffee/tea station and general guest amenities. The communal areas consist of a large lounge, dining room, swimming pool and garden. There is also delightful al fresco dining area by the pool, serving freshly prepared and very tasty meals. There are also a number shops, restarants and supermarkets within easy walking distance.
Hansa Hotel — Swakopmund
The Hansa Hotel is nestled in the heart of the charming town of Swakopmund, Namibia. The German-style accommodations in this classical building dating from 1905 are an integral part of Swakopmund's architectural heritage. Each room is individually decorated and fitted with radiant floor heating, satellite television, hairdryers, safes, coffee/tea facilities and en-suite bathrooms. There are two restaurants on-site, with breakfast and dinner served in the main dining room and lunch on the terrace. Cozy up to the fireplace at the bar for an evening cocktail after a long day of exploring Namibia.
Okonjima — Okonjima Game Reserve
Situated halfway between the capital Windhoek and the Etosha National Park, the 55,000 acre Okonjima Game Reserve has some of the best accommodation in Namibia, but the highlight has to be the cheetah and leopard safaris. Namibian safaris are truly wonderful and as The AfriCat Foundation rehabilitates cheetahs, wild dogs hyaenas and leopards, there are opportunities to see these beautiful carnivores in their natural environment.
Sossus Dune Lodge — Sossusvlei, Namibia
Sossus Dune Lodge is ideally located with dramatic views out over the surrounding desert landscapes; its unique location allows you early entry into the dunes at Sossusvlei an hour before sunrise and a late exit an hour after sunset. is in very comfortable en-suite wooden and canvas chalets that lead to a private wooden veranda overlooking the expansive desert plains. There is a large main area consisting of a dining room, a swimming pool and a pleasant bar.
