Desert Drift

This trip is for people who love the journey as much as the destination. Namibia is the road trip of road trips—long drives, wide-open landscapes, and hours where the horizon does all the talking. You’ll spend real time in the car moving through the oldest desert on Earth, stopping for wildlife, light, and moments you couldn’t plan if you tried.

The pace is steady and immersive, not rushed, but days can be full and require patience, curiosity, and flexibility. This isn’t a luxury trip in the traditional sense—it’s cinematic, elemental, and deeply grounding. If you’re open to distance, silence, dust, and awe—and you understand that some of the best moments happen between point A and point B—Namibia will meet you in a way few places can.

We get it — life happens. But because of how remote some of our trips are, arrivals and departures are coordinated pretty tightly. If you need to arrive late or duck out early, let us know before booking so we can figure out if it’s possible.

Nature’s the creative director. Weather, permits, or partner shifts may tweak the plan. Nothing cancels—it adapts. You’ll still get the magic, just in a different wrapper.

Nope. If you want to skip a hike and linger at the hotel with a book and a poolside spritz, go for it. That said, this trip is designed like a story — each chapter builds on the last. Miss one, and you might miss the plot twist.

Think of us as your guides, hosts, and low-key hype team. Your local guide plus the Camp Gurus handle the logistics, transport, meals, and all the behind-the-scenes wizardry. We also roll with wilderness first responders, so you can feel safe going deep. Your only job? Show up and live it.

Yes. Food is the heartbeat here. Vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian — we’ll make sure your plate feels thoughtful. Just know this is harvest-to-table, so flexibility helps. If a fisherman pulls in snapper that morning, it’s going on the grill.

Once you make a payment, each camper on your reservation will receive an e-mail asking to complete their Camper Profile where allergies and dietary restrictions can be shared.

We design our experiences with care and commit early to the people and places that make them possible—farmers, chefs, guides, drivers, and hosts. Because of this, our cancellation policy is built to balance flexibility for our guests with fairness to our partners.

If you cancel 90 or more days before departure, you may choose either a full refund minus a 5% processing fee, or a Camp Yoshi credit valid for 18 months. Credits are transferable and can be applied to any Camp Yoshi experience.

If you cancel between 60 and 89 days before departure, you will receive a 50% refund and a 50% Camp Yoshi credit, valid for 18 months.

If you cancel between 31 and 59 days before departure, you will receive a Camp Yoshi credit for 75% of your total trip cost, valid for 12 months. At this stage, most logistics are locked, but we want to make it possible to join us again when timing allows.

Cancellations made within 30 days of departure are non-refundable, as lodging, food, staffing, and permits have been finalized. In some cases, credits may be considered if we are able to fill your spot. We encourage guests to reach out early—communication matters.

At any point prior to departure, you may transfer your reservation to another guest at no additional cost, provided they meet the trip requirements. This is often the easiest way to recover your full investment.

If Camp Yoshi needs to cancel a trip for any reason, guests will receive a full refund or a full Camp Yoshi credit, at their choice.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment against unexpected changes.
