At the Kaokoveld Camino, we take immense pride in serving meals that are not just nourishing but bursting with flavor. Every dish is thoughtfully prepared with care and creativity, ensuring that whether you’re a herbivore, carnivore, or somewhere in between, your palate will be delighted. We use the freshest, locally sourced ingredients to craft our menus, featuring a mouthwatering selection of free-range, local game meats alongside organic chicken, beef, and pork.
Enjoy three hearty meals a day, served at a proper table—no soggy lunchboxes or uninspired on-the-go packs here! Each meal is a celebration of good food and great company, carefully crafted to satisfy and proven to impress.
Worried about losing weight? Not with food this good! Even on extended journeys through the rugged landscapes, our chefs work their magic with well-stocked fridges and freezers, surprising you with the variety and quality of their culinary creations. From the first bite to the last, you’ll savor every moment of this foodie adventure.
Cooling space on the Kaokoveld Camino
On the Kaokoveld Camino, we understand the joy of a cool drink after a long day’s adventure. That’s why we provide a shared fridge for guests to keep their beverages chilled and ready for those unforgettable sundowners. To ensure everyone enjoys this little luxury, we kindly ask that guests organize and share the space mindfully, keeping in mind the needs of the group.
It’s important to remember that we are far from civilization, managing our supplies requires smart planning in this middle of nowhere, The staff fridges and freezers are reserved exclusively for preserving essential food items and are not accessible to guests. However, as we eat our way through the fridges and freezer space during the journey, more space will gradually open up for cooling drinks.
With a bit of patience and teamwork, we’ll make sure everyone gets to enjoy a refreshing treat while soaking in the incredible wilderness. Cheers to mindful sharing and unforgettable sunsets!

The Camino begins and ends in Windhoek, with 4×4 vehicles transporting you to the Kaokoveld and back. These vehicles also stay with the group, carrying all your luggage, supplies, and camp equipment.

Testimonial: Wonderfull hiking in Namib Kaokoveld
A very special hiking experience with Wild Cherry Adventures
I hiked the 200+ km Kaokoveld Camino with Wild Cherry-Ellen and her team.
This was a wonderful experience.
The beautiful landscape, the remoteness, bright skies and total silence.
Kaokoveld on foot, was just something different. I saw desert elephants , oryx's, springbok, plenty giraffe in waving grass not seen much in Namib. (Marien flush)
Nothing was too much effort for Ellen and her team, the served us with enthusiasm and joy. Wild camping with bush showers
and delicious food.

Testimonial: Absolutely Amazing - A must for every hiker!
After last year's Kunene Camino, we decided that we definitely need to go back for the Kaokoveld Camino this year and so we did! The beauty of the Kaokoveld were breathtaking. Such an experience to see that part of Namibia as well and to our surprise we saw a couple of the famous stonemen!!!
The camino walks will be without a doubt not so life changing if it was not for Ellen and her team. Steve, George, Ruben, Uno and Ellen...thank you for giving us the time of our lives. Your passion in what you do for our hikers are highly appreciated.
We will definitely be back for more hikes with Wild Cherry Adventures😁

Testimonial: A slackpacking trip like no other...
The Stonemen of the Kaokoveld
Hidden in the vastness of the Kaokoveld, far from any road or village, stand the Stonemen — silent figures built from rock, gazing out across the endless desert. No one really knows who created them or how many there are. Their presence feels both ancient and personal, as if they were left behind by the land itself.
Along our route, we’ll come across quite a few of these mysterious guardians, quietly watching over the valleys and plains. We won’t say too much — part of the magic is in the discovery. Some appear unexpectedly after a long, silent stretch of walking; others you might only notice when the light shifts.
They’ve become part of the Camino’s spirit — markers of wonder, of human creativity meeting wild landscape.
And perhaps, somewhere between them, you’ll feel that same quiet connection: to the land, to the walk, and to those who’ve passed before you.
