Where you go, and why
Windhoek
Two polished opening rounds frame Namibia's easy little capital: Omeya Golf Club, the Matkovich layout ringed by mountains with springbok in the rough, and the Windhoek Golf & Country Club, rated among CNN's top ten in Africa. Joe's Beerhouse and the city's German-flavoured café life handle the evenings.
STAY The Weinberg, Windhoek
Etosha National Park
North to one of Africa's great wildlife theatres: a vast salt-pan park where the dry season concentrates elephant, giraffe, lion and both black and white rhino at a necklace of waterholes — including camp waterholes floodlit after dark, where the night shift arrives in eerie silence and nobody speaks above a whisper.
STAY Ongava Lodge, Etosha
Damaraland
Finish in the haunting red-rock country of Damaraland: track desert-adapted elephants down dry riverbeds, stand before the 6,000-year-old rock engravings of Twyfelfontein — a World Heritage gallery older than the pyramids — and let the desert's scale recalibrate everything before the flight home.
STAY Camp Kipwe, Damaraland
Every journey is a starting shape, not a fixed product — add nights, swap lodges, bring the Gallery. Guide price per person sharing, excluding international flights; confirmed precisely in writing before you commit.
Asked before you booked
How much does Etosha & the Emerald Fairways cost?
Guide price is from US$9,900 per person sharing, excluding international flights. For an exact figure, use the Price a Private Version tool — adjust the nights, rounds and experiences and our quoting engine returns your private price, checked by a specialist, usually within one working day.
How many rounds of golf are on this journey?
3 rounds are built in — Omeya Golf Club, Windhoek Golf & Country Club, Rossmund Golf Course (optional add-on). Every round can be kept, swapped or dropped when you price your private version.
Can my non-golfing partner come?
Absolutely — this is the heart of how we design. While the golfers play, the Gallery programme runs parallel experiences (game drives, spas, wine, walks, markets), and everyone reunites for lunch or sundowners. Non-golfers never sit out a day.
When is the best time to take this journey?
Best months are May · Jun · Jul · Aug · Sep · Oct. We will be honest about the trade-offs of any month you are considering — every season has its version of this trip.
Where will we stay?
Exact, named properties at every stop — on this journey: The Weinberg, Windhoek, Ongava Lodge, Etosha, Camp Kipwe, Damaraland. Every property is hand-picked from our register; none paid for, none reciprocated.
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.
