Desert Outrides
Our guided outrides take riders into the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Swakopmund.
Riding through the Namib Desert and Moon Landscape offers unforgettable moments — wide open horizons, desert silence, wildlife sightings, and the powerful feeling of freedom that comes from riding through nature on horseback.
These rides are suitable for both beginners and experienced riders, with horses carefully matched to each guest.
Pony rides & Riding lessons for kids and beginners
For younger visitors, Okakambe offers pony rides and pony parties designed to create joyful and safe first experiences with horses.
Children learn:
• how to approach and respect horses
• basic riding skills
• confidence and balance
Pony parties provide a fun outdoor celebration where children can enjoy nature, animals, and adventure.
Volunteer program
Okakambe also hosts an international volunteer program, welcoming people who want to experience Namibia in a deeper and more meaningful way.
Volunteers participate in the daily life of the stables while learning about:
• horse care and stable management
• equine behaviour and training
• rescue and rehabilitation work
• community connection and social responsibility
Many volunteers describe their time here as life-changing.
Through working with the horses and engaging with the local environment, volunteers often discover a strong sense of:
• connection
• personal growth
• teamwork
• trust and responsibility
Helping care for rescued or rehabilitating horses can bring an incredible feeling of purpose and fulfillment.
Dance Dynamics
Dance Dynamics, established in 2009, is dedicated to sharing the joy of dance through music, movement, and community.
The program specializes in Ballroom, Latin, and Line Dancing, offering structured yet enjoyable lessons designed for dancers of all levels. Ballroom and Latin dancing focus on partner dancing, where students learn rhythm, coordination, posture, and confidence while developing a natural connection with music and movement.
The Line Dancing program at Dance Dynamics follows a modern and versatile approach, incorporating a wide variety of music styles rather than limiting dancers to traditional line dance music. This allows dancers to experience different rhythms and genres while encouraging creativity, adaptability, and musical expression.
Each class is structured as a 45-minute lesson, designed to be energetic, engaging, and accessible while ensuring students learn technique in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
Dance Dynamics believes that dancing is about more than learning steps. It is about building confidence, discovering freedom within oneself through music and movement, and sharing moments of laughter.
The OEON Volunteer Dance Program, in partnership with Dance Dynamics, offers young girls a welcoming space where they can experience the joy of dancing in a positive and uplifting environment.
Through 45-minute dance sessions, participants are introduced to movement, rhythm, and music in a way that encourages confidence, creativity, and self-expression.
The focus of the program is not competition, but rather creating a safe and inspiring space where girls can move freely, learn new skills, and enjoy dancing together.
Dance has the power to strengthen both body and spirit.
Through this program, girls are encouraged to discover their confidence, express themselves through movement, and experience the simple happiness that music and dance can bring.
The OEON Volunteer Dance Program aims to support wellbeing, personal growth, and community connection, while allowing young participants to enjoy the beauty and freedom of dance
