Walking Tours Okaukuejo

Explore Okaukuejo on Foot

Okaukuejo, nestled within the heart of Etosha National Park, offers an exceptional opportunity to experience wildlife up close through walking trails.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Guided Walks: While not always available, inquire at the Okaukuejo Rest Camp reception about guided walking tours led by experienced rangers. These walks offer valuable insights into the local flora and fauna.

• Self-Guided Trails: Several marked trails wind through the campgrounds and surrounding areas, allowing you to explore at your own pace.

• Safety First: Always remember that you are in a wild animal environment.

  • Stay on designated paths.
  • Maintain a safe distance from animals. Never approach or attempt to feed them.
  • Be aware of your surroundings and listen for any signs of approaching wildlife.
  • Carry water and sunscreen as the Namibian sun can be intense.
  • Inform someone of your walking route and expected return time.

Tips for an Enriching Experience:

• Early morning or late afternoon walks are ideal for spotting wildlife as they are more active during these cooler hours.
• Bring binoculars to enhance your viewing experience.
• Pack a field guide to help identify the plants and animals you encounter.
• Respect the environment. Leave no trace behind and avoid disturbing the natural habitat.

Walking through Okaukuejo is a unique way to connect with nature and witness the wonders of Etosha National Park.
