How it Works
Throughout your adventure, our dedicated 4-person Wild Cherry Adventures support team will take care of all the logistics for you. From cooking and cleaning to setting up your tents and camp amenities, we handle it all so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience.
Best of all, you’ll only need to carry a light daypack with your essentials: water, snacks, and any personal items you might want on the trail.
Daily Walking Distances
Each day on the Damarland Camino offers a rewarding yet manageable hike, with distances between 12 and 16 km per day. The trail takes you through some of Namibia’s most remote and breathtaking landscapes, with the Brandberg Mountain serving as your constant guide.
While we encourage you to embrace the adventure on foot, we understand that everyone has their own pace and limits. That’s why our back-up vehicle is always available if you wish to take a break, walk less or just simply enjoy a more relaxed day, join the team with the vehicle.
Whether you’re up for a full day of hiking or prefer to rest and soak in the scenery for a while, we’ve got you covered. This flexibility ensures that the journey remains enjoyable for all, allowing you to walk as much or as little as you like while still experiencing the magic of this incredible region.
A Mobile Camping Experience
This Camino is a mobile camping expedition, combining both formal campsites and wild camping spots. At each stop, our Wild Cherry Adventures support team handles all the camp duties—setting up and taking down tents, cooking, cleaning, and taking care of all the logistics. You’ll only need to carry a light daypack with water, snacks, and personal items, freeing you to fully immerse yourself in the adventure.
Comfort and Care when Wild Camping
We ensure all your camping comforts with a canvas cubicle for private showers and a separate setup for toilet facilities. Your privacy is a priority, so you can relax and refresh after each day’s hike.

Testimonial: Brandberg Bliss With Great Company
What can I say about my Damaraland Camino...
10s across the board, from start to finish!
Ellen and her team (Ruben, George, and Steve) absolutely knocked our 6-day experience (4-day hike) out of the park: three delicious meals each day; a freshly set-up shaded camp with a shower and lavatory tent waiting for us daily; and 15km treks through Damaraland’s breathtaking and varied terrains.
Kind-spirited and wonderfully prepared, Ellen guided us across rolling mountain-scapes, shared great conversation, offered valuable insights (about Namibia's animals + nature), and left us in awe beneath the starry skies.
If you’re contemplating exploring Namibia on foot, Wild Cherry Adventures is without a doubt the tour operator to choose.
Ellen, thank you for the most magical six days — immersed in nature, and beautifully offline!
