Trek challenge Challenge level

San tribes • Trek along the Ugab Riverbed • Gain insight into the ancient history of the desert

Join us in the volcanic sands of the Namib Desert in Namibia on this extraordinary charity trekking challenge for The Urology Foundation!

Kicking off at the Burning Mountain (the Brandberg Massif), which glows orange and red in the sunset, we’ll explore the spiritual rock paintings of the San (Bushman) tribes. Then we’ll embark on an epic fi ve-day trek along the Ugab Riverbed.

With soft sand underfoot and acacia trees overhead, we’ll push through hot, sunny stretches and seek shelter at lunchtime. Along the way, we’ll keep our eyes trained for the majestic desert steenboks.

We’ll rise early to enjoy the cool of the morning and spend our nights under more stars than you’ve seen in your life. We’ll gain insight into the ancient history of the desert, make lifelong friendships with fellow TUF trekkers and most importantly, achieve an epic challenge for a crucial cause.

The funds you raise on your desert adventure will help TUF carry out cutting-edge research into urological cancers and diseases, and support thousands of people aff ected by them.
