KUNENE ELEPHANT WALK
The northwest of Namibia is home to a unique group of elephants that are adapted to the arid environment of the Namib desert. Local communities, in order to handle the effects of climate change and prolonged droughts, increasingly use crop farming as an additional source of livelihood, as it reduces their dependency on livestock farming for food security. Destruction of these crops by elephants has however become a common issue, often resulting in human-elephant conflict (HEC). Knowledge on how to live side by side has gone lost, because of the long period in which elephants were absent from northwestern Namibia

By walking a distance of 150 kilometers in 5 days through conservancies covering elephant habitats, the Kunene Elephant Walk guards aim to raise awareness on the issue and empower rural communities to live together in peace with the elephants. The funds that are raised are used towards training and HEC mitigation projects such as the construction of additional water points for elephants outside villages, and protective walls around communal crop gardens.
The walk is open to all nature and hiking lovers. The participation fee is N$500, which will go towards the fundraiser. Or join for FREE by joining the fundraiser team, and raise a minimum of N$ 1000. You will be added to our online fundraising team and get a personalised link that you can easily share with your friends, family, and colleagues on social media.
The trekking route uncovers the secrets of the Kunene region, taking you through remote, less-visited areas with spectacular sceneries, and home to a wide variety of flora and fauna:
- Day 1: Ongongo conservancy to Onganga (Otjiu-West conservancy): 30 km
- Day 2: Onganga to Ongango (Ombuijokanguindi conservancy): 30 km
- Day 3: Ongango to Epunguue (Ozondundu conservancy): 30 km
- Day 4: Epunguue to Okahua (Okangundumba conservancy): 30 km
- Day 5: Okahua to Otjozongombe (Omatendeka conservancy): 30 km
During the walk, accommodation is camping, for which there will be a backup car to carry your equipment.
