Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see at Namibia Dinosaur's Tracks Guest Farm, given its proximity to Okonjati Wildlife Sanctuary?

While Okonjati is a fantastic resource, Dinosaur's Tracks itself offers a more intimate wildlife experience. We've spotted springbok, oryx, and plenty of smaller desert-adapted creatures right on the property. For larger game like elephants and lions, day trips into Okonjati are a must, and we highly recommend booking a guided excursion for the best chances.

Beyond the dinosaur tracks, what are the must-do activities at this guest farm, and are they worth the extra cost?

The dinosaur tracks are indeed a unique draw, but we also love the guided nature drives offered directly from the farm. These drives take you through the surrounding private land, revealing hidden waterholes and offering incredible birdwatching opportunities. While there's an additional fee, we find them essential for understanding the local ecosystem and spotting elusive species.

Considering Namibia's vast distances, what is the best time of year to visit Namibia Dinosaur's Tracks Guest Farm for optimal weather and wildlife viewing?

We find the shoulder seasons, from April to June and September to October, offer the most comfortable temperatures for exploring. The air is crisp, the landscapes are beautiful, and water is often concentrated, making wildlife viewing more predictable. While the summer months can be very hot, they also bring the possibility of dramatic thunderstorms, which are a spectacle in themselves.

What is the general atmosphere and accommodation style like at Namibia Dinosaur's Tracks Guest Farm, and does it feel luxurious or more rustic?

We'd describe the lodge as comfortably rustic with a touch of authentic charm. The rooms are clean, well appointed, and offer a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring. It's not about opulent luxury here, but rather a genuine connection to the Namibian landscape and a warm, welcoming hospitality that feels truly special.

What are the safety considerations we should be aware of when staying at Namibia Dinosaur's Tracks Guest Farm, especially regarding wildlife and self-driving?

Safety is paramount, and the staff at Dinosaur's Tracks are excellent at briefing guests. We always advise keeping a respectful distance from any wildlife encountered on the property or during drives. If you're self-driving, be mindful of road conditions, especially after rain, and always carry sufficient water and fuel.
