Bwabwata National Park experience

Walk Bwabwata's river woodlands

Follow a Khwe guide from Bwabwata Museum into the bush for tracks, useful plants, wild foods and the community's history inside the national park.

The experience

Read Bwabwata through Khwe knowledge

Bwabwata is unusual: people and wildlife live inside the same national-park landscape, and the Khwe community's history is inseparable from it.

A museum guide leads the bushwalk through tracks, plants and seasonal foods, then connects that knowledge to elders' stories and present community life.

Experience FAQ

Walk Bwabwata with a Khwe guide

Q01Is this the same as a San walk in Botswana?

No. Khwe hosts have their own history and language; the experience should never be collapsed into a generic regional identity.

Q02What determines the walk?

Heat, wildlife, season and guide availability decide the route and which plants or foods can be discussed.

Plan with Alex

Plan the Khwe walk

Cross Deadvlei at dawn, follow desert wildlife tracks near Swakopmund and wait beside an Etosha waterhole as elephants emerge through the dust.

We will begin with your dates, your pace and the image that brought Namibia into your mind. From there, I will draw the journey that belongs to you.

Portrait of Alex

I want Namibia's defining moments at their best: Deadvlei before the heat, the living desert while tracks are still sharp, Etosha as elephants approach the water. Around them, we make time for the guides, makers and conservationists who turn a beautiful road into a journey you understand.
