Dry riverbeds of Damaraland, Namibia

Include in my safari All activities

About this experience

In Namibia’s arid north-west, elephants have adapted to survive in desert conditions, walking long distances between water sources along dry riverbeds such as the Huab and Ugab. Guides track them by vehicle and on foot, reading footprints and signs.

Finding a herd moving through this stark landscape is a remarkable experience, though sightings are never guaranteed.

Highlights

  • Desert-adapted elephants
  • Tracking skills in action
  • Stark, rugged scenery
