At Chasing Gravel, we believe the best stories are written on the open road. With over 22 years of exploring Southern Africa, we design self-drive safaris and guided adventures that connect you to the wild, the culture, and the freedom of the journey.

And when the adventure winds down, there’s Poseidon — our ocean-view escape in Swakopmund. A spacious, stylish home where you can breathe, recharge, and let the Atlantic waves remind you why you travel in the first place
