FAQ'S
No, not the way it used to be. We no longer curate accommodation for the community to live in together. We went back to our roots, and that means one thing: safari.
You can still work remotely afterwards. Once the safari ends, everyone is invited to book their own place in Swakopmund, the small coastal town where we recommend staying another two weeks. Coworking spaces, coffee shops, restaurants, dunes on one side and the ocean on the other. Swim, surf, work at your own pace. There is no official WildWifi schedule anymore. Just go with the flow.
All prices are listed on the detailed safari tour page, together with what's included, the payment schedule and the full itinerary.
Namibia is one of the safest countries in Africa to travel in. It's politically stable, tourism is well established, and outside the cities the challenges are mostly distance and heat rather than people and crime.
On the tour you're with a licensed local guide who has driven these routes for years, in a properly maintained 4x4, staying at established campsites. Passenger liability insurance and emergency air evacuation cover are included in the price. The things to actually plan for are the practical ones. Long driving days on gravel roads and strong sun.
In Swakopmund afterwards you use the same common sense you would in any small city to protect yourself from pickpocketing and theft. You'll notice it within a day. People say hello, nobody hassles you, and the biggest thing you'll worry about is whether you packed enough sunscreen. It's a relaxed coastal town, and you'll be there with people who know it well.
The safari is for anyone who wants to see Namibia properly and would rather not do it alone. Many people who join work remotely, as freelancers, founders, creatives or employees with remote contracts, and some stay on in Swakopmund afterwards to work. But you don't need to be a digital nomad to join. Plenty of people come simply for the holiday. It's for people who value community over crowds, love nature and a bit of adventure, and are curious, grounded and open-minded. Most guests join solo, but you're very welcome to come with your partner or a friend.
This is not:
-
a party trip
-
a backpacker tour
-
a luxury safari
-
a typical coliving space
-
a typical coworking space
-
a “do nothing and be entertained” holiday
If you need constant comfort, room service, nightlife, or zero responsibility for your own energy and work rhythm, this probably isn’t the right fit.
-
No.
The safari itself is not for you to work remotely. It is pure leisure time, you need to take leave from work.
The Swakopmund Community & Cowork Days are the part where you return into a more regular work rhythm.
You are always responsible for managing your own workload.
Yes, tents are shared by two people by default, and the tour team pairs people of the same sex wherever possible. You're of course welcome to share with your partner or a friend. If you'd rather have your own space, a single tent costs €320 for the whole trip. Just mention it when you book with Tracking Namibia. Either way you get your own proper stretcher bed with full bedding, not a thin mat on the floor.
Not on the Safari tour but afterwards in Swakopmund.
Reliable WiFi is available at: Coworking Spaces, in selected cafés in Swakopmund and most probably at your private accommodation. Swakopmund is one of the most stable locations in Namibia for remote work.
Moderate.
You should be comfortable with:
-
camping (Floor tents, comfortable stretchers, bedding, small pillow)
-
early mornings
-
long distance drives during the day
-
some hiking trips
You do not need to be extremely fit. Activities are adapted to the group.
-
Camping in Namibia is a lot more comfortable than most people expect. All the campsites we stay at have proper ablutions with running water, showers and toilets.
You sleep in ground tents, shared by default, with single tents available if you'd rather have your own space. And you get a real stretcher bed with full bedding, not a thin mat on the floor. Camping chairs, tables, firewood and all the equipment come with us in the trailer.
This is a participation tour, so everyone pitches in with setting up camp and packing up in the morning. It takes fifteen minutes with the whole group and it's honestly part of the fun. Your guide cooks fresh meals every day, and the evenings around the fire take care of themselves.
Yes. Your guide cooks fresh meals every day and is happy to cook vegetarian and vegan. Just share any dietary requirements when you book, and they'll be passed on to the guide before the trip.
Absolutely.
Most WildWifi guests join solo.
The experience is designed for individuals who want community without pressure.
-
Minimum: 4 participants
-
Ideal: 6–10 participants
We intentionally keep the group small.

Cancellations are handled by Tracking Namibia Safaris under their terms and conditions. If you cancel 60 days or more before departure you lose the 30% deposit, from 59 to 46 days 50% of the total is payable, from 45 to 31 days 75%, and from 30 days onwards the full amount. This is why travel cancellation insurance is a requirement for joining. WildWifi acts solely as an intermediary. The tour is operated by Tracking Namibia Safaris, and you book and pay directly with them under their terms and conditions you find here.
Not at all. The safari is the trip you book, and it ends in Swakopmund. What happens after that is entirely up to you.
That said, this is the part people underestimate. After twelve days in the same vehicle you've stopped being strangers, and Swakopmund is where those connections settle into something easier. Morning swims, coffee shops with ocean views, working next to each other for a few hours, dinners that go on longer than planned, and a town small enough that you keep running into the same faces.
What makes it work is that you have your own place. You can be as social as you feel like and still have your own space and your own quiet time. Nobody keeps track of who shows up to what.
In our coliving years I watched it happen again and again: someone booked their flight home for the day after a trip and wished they hadn't. So if there's any chance you might want to stay, book a flexible return flight. You can always leave early. You can't always extend.
If you do stay, we recommend at least two weeks. Below that it's over before it starts.
Not from us. There is no fee on top of the safari price for joining them.
What you do pay for is your own accommodation in Swakopmund (Which you can also book and share with your newly made friends), your food, and anything you choose to do in town. You book your own place, so you decide entirely what you spend. A coworking day pass, a braai on the beach, a surf lesson, all of that is yours to pick and pay for directly.
We'll point you to the places and people worth knowing, so you don't have to work any of it out yourself.
Of course. The cowork and community days are entirely voluntary, so you decide how long you stay. You book your own Airbnb or guesthouse in Swakopmund and stay as long as you like. We recommend at least two weeks after the safari, to settle into coastal life and spend more time with the friends you've just made and the locals you'll meet along the way.
