A stay at Mundulea Nature Reserve is really all about exploring the area on foot with one of the very best wildlife guides in the business. The walking need not be fast, but will usually be full of discussions and observations on the area's flora and fauna. There's plenty of game here, including populations of unusual species like black rhino, black-faced impala, and high numbers of eland – but a trip here is all about understanding the environment, from the rocks and soil, to the plants, insects and big game. - View lodge details

The exposed granite around Erongo forms large, rounded hills which are well-suited to hiking and gentle scrambling – so it's a great place to stretch your legs after time in a vehicle. The lodge offers a choice of walks, either accompanied by knowledgeable guides, or on your own along clearly marked walking trails (for which the lodge provides a detailed map). - View lodge details

The Canon Roadhouse offers a short hiking trail with views over the mountains. You can also drive out to the Fish River Canyon and do short walks around the area, or even arrange longer guided hikes lasting 4-5 days inside the Fish River Canyon itself – perhaps using the roadhouse as your base at the start and end of your trip. - View lodge details

Travellers can walk directly from Sossus Dune Lodge into the nearby Sesriem Canyon, and there's a mountain behind the lodge that's worth exploring. It's a short drive to Elim Dune, which is very popular one to climb, and longer forays into Sossusvlei and the Naukluft Mountains are easy from here. - View lodge details

Keen walkers can hike from one of two possible bases on Klein Aus Vista. From the Desert Horse Inn, guests can embark on a short 1-hour sunset walk or a longer 3-hour walking trail. Note that April to mid October is the ideal time for the hiking trails here, as the other months can be very hot indeed. - View lodge details
