Hiking in the Kalahari

DESCRIPTION

One of the best ways to explore the untouched nature and wildlife of Ombe Guestfarm is by hiking through the red sands of the Kalahari. The summer hike is especially captivating when wildflowers are in bloom, while in winter, you can marvel at the vast, clear, and seemingly endless beauty of the Namibian sky. Along the way, expect to be entertained by the unique wildlife: an ostrich taking a sand bath, impalas gracefully bounding across the grass savanna, or giraffes nibbling on Acacia trees.
