16-Day Privately Guided Semi-Luxury Namibia Botswana 4x4 Safari

Rooisand Desert Ranch, in Namibia's Central Region on the fringe of the Namib Desert, is surrounded by the magnificent scenery of red sand dunes - shaped hundreds or thousands of years ago by winds from the Kalahari Desert - vast grassy plains and rugged mountains.

The farm has a size of some 12.000 ha, a huge area - by European standards. Rooisand Desert Ranch affords its guests a relaxing sojourn with every convenience. Guest accommodation, the main building with the kitchen and farm management quarters, the technical buildings, the pool, fitness centre and the tennis courts are all located in the central farm area.

Due to its proximity to the Gamsberg - one of the darkest and least light-polluted areas of the southern hemisphere - Rooisand has specialized itself as a renowned Astro farm, catering for all stargazing and astronomy enthusiasts -from the first-time stargazer to amateur astronomers and experienced astrophotographers. With its own observatory, housing one of the most state-of-the-art telescope / astrograph combination available for public viewing in the country and in collaboration with Deep Sky Safaris, Rooisand is a must-visit to enjoy the true magnificence of the African night skies.

Feeling adventurous? Then join us on an authentic African adventure that takes you deep into the heart of the Okavango Delta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and natural wonder of epic proportions. From the low vantage point of a dugout canoe – known locally as a mokoro ­– you’ll experience a local tradition that has defined the way safaris are run in the Okavango Delta. Accompanied by polers, who share their local heritage and in-depth knowledge of the area and its flora and fauna, you will enjoy a privileged insight into this otherwise inaccessible wilderness.

Our mokoro trails into the Okavango Delta range from a half-day excursion up to five nights camping out under the vast African sky. As you explore the idyllic channels, lagoons and remote islands, our knowledgeable guides share insight into the wild and wonderful world around you. The guides have a wealth of knowledge of the area and eagerly share the stories of their people and related folk-tales. Their first-hand experience of the area’s wildlife is an incredible gift they readily share, as they pole along the unspoiled waterways.
