NamibiaA dream world in real life

Gigantic skies and the oldest desert on earth — and a round at Rossmund, one of only five all-grass desert courses in the world. Nowhere on earth looks like this.

Why a golf safari in Namibia
Otherworldly

Dunes, gravel plains & silence

Tee straight into the Namib

Landscape over density

Scale, not big-game numbers

The wild

The whole reason you come

Graeme's tip

Pack soft holdalls, not hard cases — the little planes won't take them. And book the NamibRand astronomer for the night after Rossmund: the strangest, starriest 19th hole in golf.

Good questions

Asked before you booked

Do I need a visa for Namibia?

Since April 2025 Namibia requires a visa on arrival (or applied for online in advance) for most Western nationalities, including UK, US and most EU passports. It is straightforward — we will brief you on the current fee and process at booking.

Is Namibia malaria-free?

The desert south — Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund — is essentially malaria-free. Etosha and the north carry seasonal risk in the summer rains; travelling in the dry winter months reduces it substantially.

What is desert golf actually like?

Rossmund Golf Course at Swakopmund is one of only five all-grass desert courses on earth — emerald fairways cut straight from the Namib, springbok in the gallery and views you will dine out on for years. It is golf you genuinely cannot play anywhere else.

Can my non-golfing partner come?

Absolutely — while the golfers play, our Gallery programme runs parallel experiences: game drives, spas, wine, walks and markets, reunited for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.

How do I get an exact price?

Open any journey and choose Price a Private Version — adjust the nights, keep or drop rounds and experiences, tell us who is travelling, and our quoting engine returns an exact private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.

Are the hotel names confirmed?

Yes — every itinerary on this site names its exact properties, hand-picked from our register of fifty-two. None paid for, none reciprocated.

Tell us how you want to feel when you come home.

We'll build the wild, and the golf, around that — and nothing else.
