A guided trail through the Kalahari dunes between Twee Rivieren and Nossob, departing on Mondays and finishing on Thursdays. It starts from Twee Rivieren in even-numbered months and from Nossob in odd-numbered months. Trailists are fully self-sufficient, and the overnight camps have only a long-drop, a shower bag and a fireplace. Groups run with two to five guest vehicles and a guide, children under 12 are not allowed, and it is roughly 300 km from the start to the next fuel.

Along the way

  • Red dune driving
  • Guide vehicle with radios
  • 50 to 65 km per day
  • Bring a spade

  • Check with the operator for closures after rain. Conditions change faster than any website.
  • Tell someone your route and your expected time out.
  • Carry recovery gear you know how to use, and rated recovery points on the vehicle. See our recovery gear spec comparison.
