Riding for twelve days across the Namib Desert in Nambia is not for the faint hearted and riding guests must be fit and enjoy the challenge of an epic endurance ride – think Hidalgo the movie. But for those that thrive on a challenge then this is the perfect ride for you. The ride covers a total of 400 kilometres across 12 days. Starting in the central highlands with an altitude of 2000 metres above sea level to the final day where riders are serenaded by the wild Atlantic Ocean. A typical day for guests is seven hours in the saddle covering between 40 to 70 kilometres a day in searing hot temperatures, scooting down mountain faces, galloping across desert plains and sighting oryx, springbok, mountain zebra, warthogs and ostriches along the way.

Horses used are one of each breed i.e. Arab, Haflinger, Trakehner, ranch horses, even cross-breeds of the famous wild horses of the Namib Desert. They are small to medium-sized (14.3 to 16 hands), sure-footed and raised on rough terrain, some of them with experience in endurance riding, and every one of them a kind, reliable companion that deserves the very best treatment and care.
