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

Royal Tree Lodge is a great lodge for stretching your legs. They have three walking trails which range from 30 minutes to 1 ½ hours. The trails are well marked and perfectly safe to explore on your own. There are waterholes for game viewing (provided that you approach quietly) and there's also a hide if you'd like to sit and take things easy. - View lodge details

Many of the Namib-Naukluft's excellent walking trails are within a fairly short drive of Barchan Dune Retreat. Alternatively, the Retreat is surrounded by the Rantberge Mountains; a stunning range in the semi-desert region adjacent to the Namib. The lodge has made a few self-guided trails around this area – which are excellent. - 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

Guided bushwalks are offered as an activity – and it's an easy environment to walk in. There are options to track the cheetah, to visit the Bushman rock paintings in the hills, or visit sites of historical interest. With little really dangerous game – Samara Game Reserve makes a very relaxing place to walk. - 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

If you're fit and active, then Etendeka is a great place to do some walking – its activities are usually split fairly equally between driving and walking. A normal day at the camp might include a 2-4 hour walk, an afternoon game drive and possibly a short hike on to one of the area's mountains. - 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
