Track Damaraland elephants with native guide Herson from your own 4x4 in Twyfelfontein, with wildlife, culture, and expert local insight.

We drove down a beautiful dry riverbed and saw a giraffe along the way, eventually finding a family of elephants, including a baby. We were able to get very close and watch them. It was so cool! Appreciate the extra effort and time Herson put in to the tour to enable us to see them. Highly recommend this tour. You will need a 4x4.”

If you start from the King Nahale Gate for a half-day tour as our group did, there is no need to pack a lunch, as we had plenty of time to stop at Namutoni Restaurant for a bite.”
