"This is a once-in-lifetime experience"

2 nights Arrived 3 Sep 2017
"Tok Tokkie Trails is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, you will remember this trip for the rest of your life. Our guide, Sebastian, was great, he took care of everybody, making sure the speed of the walk was suitable for all the participants, showed us the fauna and flora of the desert.

We all loved sleeping under the stars on our stretcher bed, also loved the bucket shower, I one day had my shower in front of an oryx!

One suggestion would be to have some hot breakfast in the morning, we went there end of August, second night was chilly, hot breakfast could have helped to warm up." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia

"Best glamping"

2 nights Arrived 30 Aug 2017
"We loved the walking, sleeping under the stars, the guiding, star gazing and the "suite".

Our group was excellent company (only 5 people).

Only minus was the food, it was fine, but we expected may be more." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia

"Must do excursion"

2 nights Arrived 25 May 2017
"Tok Tokkie is a wonderful way to start one's Namibian experience. It is a quided walk, starting around 330 pm, after lunch on Day 1, walking a full day on Day 2, and arriving back in the Tok Tokkie HQ around 9 am on Day 3. The walking itself is very easy, with small distances and no particular elevation losses or gains. During our walk the maximum day time temperature was in the late 20s celsius so not troubling.

What makes the experience so enjoyable and special is the guide (Sebastian was our guide) and the wonderful camps, where one sleeps under a blaze of stars (following Sebastian's very informative star-gazing talk), the first time when the Milky Way really was milky, in very comfortable camp beds, complete with very welcome hot water bottles. Food is plentiful and excellent, served by very welcoming staff. The long drop loos (complete with signalling devices to indicate vacancy or otherwise) and hot bucket showers, both open to the African plains but secluded from one's fellow guests, were a tremendous "Out of Africa" experience.

It does get cold at night and there was one breakfast where there was a distinct run on the hot porridge, but one rapidly warms up and are relieved that the long lunch break on Day 2 is under canvas. We were woken one night by a nearby oryx grazing and everyone was very excited on the second night by the mournful call of a passing hyena. Tok Tokkie was a high point of a holiday complete with highpoints!" See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia

"Amazing beyond words"

2 nights Arrived 24 Apr 2017
"We shared this amazing experience with a family who thought they were going to a luxury lodge!

We and they loved sleeping under the stars despite a few drops of rain in the desert. Guiding really good. Creatures of the desert fascinating.

Filo pastry at dinner in the desert. Bucket shower excellent. Sharing your "bedroom" with oryx and tok tokkie beetles.

We missed this experience 15 years ago and are so glad we went back to do it." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 12n in South Africa

"The real desert"

2 nights Arrived 25 Apr 2016
"This was the real highlight of our trip.

Sebastian, our guide and his team are excellent at being host/guide/cook/waiter etc.. The walking was not arduous - we could have done a couple of days more. The beauty of the desert is breathtaking up close and on foot and a privilege to experience.

We can't recommend it highly enough." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 5n in South Africa

"Brilliant two days on Tok Tokie Trails"

2 nights Arrived 8 Sep 2015
"This was probably the highlight of our trip.

Our guide, Ricardo, was fantastic and the experience of sleeping under the stars will never be forgotten. We were lucky to have 2 very clear nights - although the nights were quite cold we were toasty warm in our bed rolls. The hot water bottles in bed at night and the wake up calls with tea in the morning were a lovely touch!

The changing light over the desert landscape in morning and evening was a photographer's dream!" See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Excellent walking"

2 nights Arrived 6 Aug 2015
"Loved the camp sites - showers and toilets were brilliant. Sleeping on camp beds under the stars was unforgettable - real highlight of our trip. Walking was good (although hot and we were in winter!) and very enjoyable, guide was excellent and very knowledgeable.

Camp staff were also really friendly and accommodating. Loved having lunch on the middle day in the middle of nowhere (and the rest afterwards!) Desert scenery was very spectacular!

Would definitely recommend this activity." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Highly recommend Tok Tokkie Trails!"

2 nights Arrived 24 Jul 2015
"A fantastic experience walking through the NamibRand Reserve in the company of our excellent guide Sebastian and camping under the stars. We learned so much about the environment and wildlife and the scenery is spectacular.

The 2 camps we stayed in were in beautiful locations and the team did extremely well serving up tasty food, setting up our camp beds and even providing hot water bottles. Going to bed under the stars and waking up to see the sunrise (with cups of tea in bed provided) was fantastic.

If you go in July/August prepare for it to be very cold at night - the Tok Tokkie leaflet can be a bit misleading as to what you need to bring. Take lots of warm layers, down jackets are ideal, hats and gloves.

Lastly we have a family member who is gluten intolerant and despite the challenging catering conditions she was given gluten free bread, cakes and meals whenever food was provided.

If you like getting close to nature and walking don't miss this trip!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia
