Desert Tours

Skilled guides with a unique 4×4 experience into the dune belt south of Swakopmund training. You will be guided to discover the hidden treasures across a picturesque, yet somewhat desolate, countryside. Accompany us on a journey to track chameleons, snakes, skinks, scorpions, lizards, geckos, and other small animals while discovering more about the desert ecosystem of the region. This incredible excursion comes to a finish atop a dune with a view of the Atlantic.

Living Desert

Our fascinating educational tour, “Living Desert Tour,” explores the natural beauty and abundant life found in the Namib coastal dunes. This tour, which is appropriate for both adults and kids, concentrates on the flora and wildlife of the dune belt and includes a beautiful 4×4 dune drive with great photo ops.

Namib Dune Gecko

Known by several names such as Palmato gecko or web-footed gecko, this indigenous reptile is distributed over the Namib Desert, with a concentration on the compacted wind-facing side of the coastal dunes.

Sidewinder Snake

One of the smallest adders in the world, the endemic dwarf adder reaches a maximum length of about 35 cm and an average length of 25 cm.

Shovel-Snouted Lizard

Being a native of the Namib, the shovel-snouted lizard is diurnal and only moves during the day. In its search for food, it is primarily seen traveling down the dune's leeward side, sometimes referred to as the dune's slip face.

Cartwheeling Spider

The term "Dancing White Lady" refers to the way this species kicks its legs into the air in response to predator threats.

Namaqua Chameleon

This huge short-tailed chameleon hunts insects on the ground for the majority of its life, supplementing its diet with the occasional plant meal.

Reticulated Desert Lizard

This long-pointed-nosed, desert-adapted lizard is frequently spotted searching for insects on the gravel plains and dunes of the coastal Namib desert, which stretches from central to northern Namibia.

Black Scorpion

This huge, hairy-tailed scorpion can grow up to 20 centimeters in length. Despite the fact that the majority of scorpions are nocturnal, this striking-looking one is frequently seen during the day hunting prey.

Fitzsimon’s Burrowing Skink

Due to the reflection from waxy, particularly modified scales that allow it to slide through the sand with very little friction, this legless burrowing lizard, which resembles a little snake, has a dazzling appearance.

Sandwich Harbour

Namibia’s coast spans 1570 kilometers, from the Orange River in the south to the Kunene in the north. Sandwich Harbour’s lagoon is tucked away between the Atlantic Ocean and the dunes like a precious gem.
