This is the description of the 7-hour Desert Tour: We travel through one of the oldest deserts in the world and find ourselves surrounded by the rugged and rocky scenery of the Namib Desert. Experience the "Ringing Stones" and the fascinating plants of the Namib, for example the remarkable Welwitschia Plant, a living fossil which is only found in this geographical area. With a bit of luck, one can see Springbok, Klipspringer. Steenbok, Baboon, Ostriches, Ruppels Korhaan and Trac-Trac Chat. After a lunch break we drive along the dry riverbed of the Swakop Valley and pass the Oasis "Goanikontes". We close off this tour with a visit to the Shifting sand dunes near Swakopmund. Please note: The 4-hour Desert Tour involves a shorter route and does not include a lunch break.

We had a good experience with Hans. He is a legend and know much about Namibia, the Swakopriver desert, plants, animals and Namibian economy.

Used this tour company to go to namib desert and we drove through the dried swakop river as well as through the desert to see moonscape view point and then found the welwitschia plants, very informative and worth the visit. Recommend if you decide to go to Swakopmund.

The tour was really great! German-speaking Hans-Dieter is the perfect guide for this tour since he is from Swakopmund and has been living in Namibia for all of his life. He told us a lot about Namibia, the culture, politics, landscape, animals, so we got a deep understanding. He drove us to the amazing moon landscape as well as to the Welwitschia plants. We can totally recommend the tour!

We had an amazing tour and created unforgettable memories. Our experienced guide, Hans, was a fantastic host. We enjoyed a private tour with him and experienced the Namibian desert to the fullest. The highlight was the lovingly prepared picnic lunch under a large rock.

Hans-Dieter is an excellent tour guide who described the tour in detail and was very knowledgeable in explaining the plants, animal life and terrain. His knowledge made the experience even more enjoyable. A highlight was having lunch in the shade of the overhang of an enormous bolder—a big thank you to Hans-Dieter's wife for the delicious lunch provided. We unreservedly recommend this tour and Hans-Dieter to future visitors to Namibia, particularly to Swakopmund.

Ernst was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the desert and his work. He found snskes, lizards, birds and retrieved debris blowing around the desert. A fantastic afternoon with him. We all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. Thank you very much
