NAMIBIA, YOUR WAY

You bring the curiosity. We take care of the rest.

Some travellers want to walk for days through landscapes without another soul in sight.

Others want a 4x4, a good route and the freedom to stop whenever Namibia tells them to.

And some prefer a knowledgeable guide, carefully chosen lodges and all the logistics taken care of.

We do all three.

Wild Cherry Adventures specialises in fully supported hiking adventures, individually planned self-drive safaris and private guided journeys throughout Namibia and neighbouring Southern Africa.

No conveyor-belt tourism or generic itineraries copied from a catalogue.

Just good planning, local knowledge and journeys built around the people actually travelling.

Visit Namibia and let your soul breathe!

WALK NAMIBIA

Our Caminos

We didn’t follow a trail. We created one.

Wild Cherry Adventures pioneered fully supported slackpacking routes through some of Namibia's most extraordinary wilderness.

Today our four Caminos take you through Damaraland, Brandberg, Kunene and Kaokoveld - from shorter walking adventures to our 16-day journey through Kaokoveld, one of the most remote parts of Namibia.

Your luggage travels with our support crew. You walk with a daypack.

Camp is waiting by lunchtime. Afternoon to rest and recalibrate. And dinner tastes particularly good after several hours on your feet.

Four Caminos. Very different landscapes. One Wild Cherry way of doing things.

MORE THAN CAMINOS

Namibia was made for walking.

Join us for anything from a day hike to a serious wilderness adventure.

Track of the Giants - walk with Elephant Rangers (guided selfdrive and hiking)

Ugab Bonanza at Brandberg Mountain (3 to 6 Day Elephant Tracking)

Fish River Canyon. (Guided Slackpacking or 5 to 6 Day Backpacking Trail)

Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park. (Day Hikes, 4 or 8 Day Backpacking Trail)

Spitzkoppe (Day Hikes or Multi Day Excursions)

Khan and Swakop river across the Moon Landscape.

And a few routes you probably won't find in your guidebook.

Some are gentle. Some definitely aren't.

We'll tell you which is which.

SELF-DRIVE NAMIBIA

Your vehicle. Your pace. Our local knowledge.

A Namibia self-drive should feel like freedom — not three weeks of wondering whether you booked the right lodge or took the wrong road.

Tell us how you like to travel and we'll build the journey around you.

We can arrange:

Vehicle rental
Accommodation or campsites
Activities
Permits
Route planning
Maps and travel information
Local recommendations
On-the-road support

You drive. We make sure the pieces fit together.

PRIVATE GUIDED SAFARIS

Sometimes it's nicer when someone else knows where they're going.

Travel privately with your partner, family or friends — or let us put together a small group journey.

Lodges or camping - Wildlife or hiking.

Namibia only, or combine it with Botswana, Zimbabwe or South Africa.

We keep the groups small, the planning personal and the itinerary flexible enough to leave room for the unexpected.

Because some of the best days in Africa aren't the ones that went exactly according to plan.

WHY WILD CHERRY ADVENTURES ?

Small enough to care. Experienced enough to know better.

Owner-run
You are dealing with people who actually travel these roads and walk these trails.

Small groups
Our guided journeys are intentionally intimate.

Proper local knowledge
Not just where to go — but when, how and whether it's actually worth it.

Adventure without unnecessary suffering
We love wild places. We also appreciate good food, a comfortable camp bed and someone carrying the heavy bag.

Namibia beyond the obvious
The famous places are famous for a reason. But we'll show you quite a lot in between them too.

Snapshots of Namibia’s Soul

Some places need explaining. Namibia mostly needs experiencing.

At Wild Cherry Adventures, we understand that everyone’s idea of a perfect adventure is different.
Whether you're drawn to desert dunes, rugged mountains, or cultural encounters, Wild Cherry Adventures offers tailored tours across Namibia and beyond—designed to match your pace, interests, and spirit of adventure.

Walk a Camino in Namibia

Born from one man’s footsteps across a land so vast it defies description.
From the otherworldly remoteness of the Kaokoveld, where the desert meets the Kunene River, to the ancient ridges of Brandberg and the sculpted valleys of Damaraland — our Caminos reveal Namibia as few ever see it.

We didn’t follow a map — we created it.

Years of experience shaped these routes into what they are today: Namibia’s first true slackpacking adventures, blending raw wilderness with the comfort of a seasoned crew. Others may have followed, but the Wild Cherry spirit remains unmatched — authentic, soulful, and rooted in respect for this land and its people.

Four Caminos. Infinite horizons.
Walk light. Feel deeply. Live Namibia.
