Into the Namib | Sossusvlei Bound

We head south into the world’s oldest desert. As the dunes rise, the pace drops. Sunset arrives quietly and stays with you.

Red Dunes & Deadvlei

Sunrise over Sossusvlei. Walk the clay pans of Deadvlei, where time feels suspended and the landscape speaks in contrasts.

 Desert to Coast | Swakopmund

The desert loosens its grip as Atlantic fog rolls in. Ocean air, colonial layers, and a softer tempo for the afternoon.
Overnight: Swakopmund

Skeleton Coast | The Edge

We trace the Skeleton Coast—shipwrecks, salt, wind, and wide-frame views that feel almost unreal.
Overnight: Coastal / Damaraland Route Lodge

Into Damaraland’s rugged terrain. Encounters with Damara and Himba cultural landscapes, guided by Selma’s lived understanding.

Etosha Safari Day

Early and late game drives. Elephants, lions, giraffe, oryx—life unfolding where water draws everything in. Overnight: Etosha Lodge

Day 9

Return to Windhoek | Closing the Loop

Final morning safari, then south to Windhoek. Farewell dinner, reflections, and a sense of completion. Overnight: Windhoek

The Camp Yoshi team made everything feel seamless and welcoming; they were helpful, accommodating, and felt more like friends than hosts.

I loved every second of it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to disconnect and reconnect at the same time. Already planning my next Camp Yoshi trip—this time international!

Hotel (Namibia)

We begin in Windhoek before drifting through the Namib — premium lodge stays like Sossusvlei Lodge and Le Mirage Desert Lodge & Spa set the tone with dune views and desert silence. On the coast, Swakopmund Luxury Suites offers a soft reset, and in wildlife country, Etosha Safari Lodge and Mokuti Etosha keep is close to the rhythm of the waterholes.

Guide (Namibia)

Selma K. is a Namibia- and South Africa–based guide whose work is rooted in lived experience, cultural fluency, and deep care for the land. Raised across multiple tribes and languages, she leads guests through Namibia with insight, warmth, and a focus on belief systems, foodways, and post-colonial survival. With Selma, this trip becomes less about seeing Namibia—and more about understanding it.

Meals (Namibia)

Desert nights. Ocean air. Fires that go late. Food with purpose and a point of view — Camp Yoshi’s signature way of eating, no matter the zip code.

FAQ

Every great adventure begins with a few questions—that’s part of the journey. If you're curious about what’s ahead or wondering if this experience is right for you, our FAQs have you covered. You’ll find thoughtful answers to help you feel confident, grounded, and excited for what’s to come.
Who is this trip designed for?

This one’s for the curious — the folks who want more than just a beach chair and a piña colada. You want adventure with intention: jungle hikes, lava tube kayaking, harvesting straight from the ocean, and sitting down to meals crafted by Puerto Rico’s most innovative chefs and farmers. No outdoor résumé required. Just come open, hungry, and ready to move with the rhythm of the island — knowing you’ll return each evening to a fly boutique hotel with good sheets, hot showers, and a vibe that feels like an exhale.

How big is the group?

Twelve. That’s it. Just enough for a mix of personalities, but small enough that by day two, you’ll know who snores and who always asks for seconds.

Can I arrive late or leave early?

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.

Will the itinerary change after booking?

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.

Do I have to participate in all the activities?

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.

What kind of support can I expect?

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.

Are allergies and dietary preferences accommodated?

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.

What is your policy around alcohol and drug use?

We love a good toast. Alcohol is not included in the trip price, but campers are welcome to purchase their own — and trust, there will be plenty of opportunities to lean into the island’s rum, wine, and cocktails. At certain meals, we’ll include alcohol pairings (think bubbles at sunset or a local rum tasting), but for the most part, it’s BYOB or direct-purchase.

Cannabis? Only where it’s legal and if it fits the vibe. Out on boats, during hikes, or in technical terrain, it’s off-limits. Trust us: kayaking through a glowing bioluminescent bay at night is a natural high all on its own.

What is your policy around firearms?

Nope. Not here. The only thing we’re shooting is photos and maybe an espresso shot before the hike.

What is your cancellation policy?

All payments are non-refundable. Cancel 60+ days before departure, and you’ll receive a store credit valid for 12 months. Inside 60 days? No credits — by then, we’ve locked in farmers, chefs, and guides who are counting on us.
