Trekking, Ugab Trail

The two-night, three-days trek is offered only during the cooler months from April to October.
Groups of 6-8 are allowed and all participants must present a medical certificate of phisical fitness issued within 40 days from your healthcare provider or a doctor in Windhoek.

Also a good backpack is necessary, as you will be carrying all of your own equipment and supplies.



Every second and fourth Tuesday of the month, groups depart from the Ugab Mouth; the starting and finishing trailhead.

The trek is 50 km and it is important for groups to report at the Skeleton Coast Park entrance gates before 9h00 on their particular Tuesday.

Many groups choose to camp at Mile 108 the previous night.



Bookings should be made well in advance at the NWR Central Reservations Office in Windhoek.
For further details contact the Swakopmund Resorts Office at the Woermann Haus on Bismarck Street in Swakopmund.

The trek is not as demanding as Fish River Canyon Trail, however still provides amazing scenery and allows more choices of where to go because you are not confined to the course of the river.
