The trails

Time outside, close to town

Whether you're looking for an outdoor adventure, a morning walk, a run or a ride, Yellowstone's marked trails wind through golden grassland and acacia hills just minutes from Windhoek.

Routes are named after the game you might spot along the way — Gemsbok, Wildebees, Eland and Kudu — with distance markers every 2.5 km to keep you oriented.
