Emmanuel

Smooth, Scenic, and Superbly Organized I joined a 6-Day Marangu Route hike with Kilisa Tours, and the whole experience was seamless. The accommodations in the mountain huts were cozy, and the support staff made sure we were always comfortable. Our guide shared fascinating stories about the mountain s history and wildlife. Everything ran perfectly on schedule, and the company s attention to detail was impressive. I ve done many treks before, but Kilisa Tours stands out for their genuine care and world-class service. Couldn t have asked for more!

Itinerary

Step into a land where time seems to pause—the Richtersveld National Park awaits. This unique 4-day, 5-night tour leads you deep into South Africa’s mountain desert, unveiling a landscape owned and managed by the Nama people. The journey promises dramatic contrasts: arid terrain that bursts into wildflower color each spring and immense, rugged mountain passes with panoramic views.

Travel in a 4x4 across strikingly barren landscapes, learning about the region’s fascinating topography, rare flora, and the enduring culture of the Nama community. Along the way, every turn reveals something special—from spectacular vistas to the vibrant hospitality of the locals.

Rest comes easy in accommodations overlooking the mighty Orange River and the distant hills of Namibia, providing a peaceful retreat after days of exploration. A highlight of the trip is the chance to witness the desert in bloom, a rare spectacle that makes this adventure truly unforgettable.

For travelers seeking a genuine connection to land, people, and history, this tour offers an immersive and scenic escape into one of Africa’s most remarkable and lesser-known regions.
