Let’s face facts: In the wake of COVID-19, it will take time
Swakopmund
Namibia
Jan 5 - Feb 2, 2024
Few places can match the sheer beauty that resides in Namibia. The stunning mountains, sky-high dunes, diverse wildlife, and desolate deserts makes this country the perfect starting place to explore Africa's extreme natural sites. Namibia is a playground that never seems to run out of adventures, outdoorsy explorers will love seeing the magical places and animals we've only seen on TV actually come to life. Join the Tribe in Swakopmund for once-in-a-lifetime moments that will become our go-to travel and life stories for years to come.
Experience Namibia with the Tribe
Take on Swakopmud with the Tribe and make it your new home base for one month. Open your mind to the cocreated community experiences, adventures, and classic WiFi Tribe moments that'll make our time here one of a kind.
Spot wildlife in Etosha National Park
Etosha National Park is where we'll watch rhinos, elephants, leopards, giraffes, and antelopes drinking from watering holes and going about their business as we look on from a 4x4. Sitting 4 hours away, it's a popular weekend trip from Windhoek, known for its reliable game viewing, huge grounds, and there's even a salt pan that's visible from space.
Explore an ancient mountain and its paintings
Brandberg Mountain, or Burning Mountain when translated, can be seen from great distances on clear days. It's been this way for millennia as these rock formations have been here since the dinosaurs. The prehistoric mountains are also home to thousands of ancient wall paintings, most famously The White Lady, which is reachable by foot with a guide in tow.

Climb the beautiful red dunes of Sossuvlei
When thinking of Namibia, one of the most popular images to come to mind are gigantic, deep orange sand dunes lit up from the sun. The association makes sense as the dunes surrounding Sossusvlei salt pan are seriously breathtaking. Reaching almost 400m high, these sandy hills sit inside Namib-Naukluft National Park and are some of the tallest dunes in the world. We'll test our endurance and climb to the top for some insane photo ops.
Stargaze in the NamibRand Nature Reserve
With clear, dark skies, very few people, and little light pollution, Namibia is one of the best places on the planet for stargazing. To see the stars lit up we'll head to NamibRand Nature Reserve, it's one of two places in the world that's recognized as a Gold Tier International Dark Sky Reserve for having exceptionally dark skies.
Explore the beaches of the Skeleton Coast
The Skeleton Coast is unlike a typical scenic drive, the flat landscape is barren but for impressive dunes, dried out animal skeletons, and shipwreck bones until you reach the coast. Getting behind the wheel isn't for the faint of heart but the things we'll see along the way will be unforgettable.

We are staying in a newly renovated 3- story hotel 5 min walk from the beach. We have the whole property to ourselves with amazing communal spaces to both hangout and be productive as well as a fully equipped industrial sized kitchen.
One of the communal spaces is a furnished rooftop terrace with great views. The space is perfect for morning coffee, yoga, short outdoor work session or Tribe gatherings.
If an al fresco cowork area is not for you, we also have a large indoor air-conditioned coworking space at our Tribe home.
The rooms are spacious with A/C, a TV, and small refrigerator.
January is known to be the best time of the year to visit destination as it is warm but not overwhelming hot!! The average temperature in Swakopmund in January for a typical day range from a high of 75°F (24°C) to a low of 63°F (17°C).
Good to Know
Similar to San Franciso, Swakopmund is one of the foggiest places in the world. The city is between the coastline and the desert and due to its unique location, fog rolls through the town from the cool sea water and warm dessert. There may be incredible picture opportunities for photographers in the group. The best time avoid too much fog is in the summer (Nov-Feb).
Days will be hot and nights could get chillier so be sure to pack layers. Also, the dry air and dust can damage electronics if we're not careful so bring protective coverings for your computer, phone, camera, and other important devices.
Because the country is filled with deserts we'll try to conserve water any chance we get. The tap water is generally safe to drink as many of the water sources are from underground aquifers.
This destination is better suited to experienced travellers and nomads. Come with an open mind and embrace the unknown, customs, culture and way of living.
