  Our driver/guide Hannes greeted us at the port entrance and after picking up our lunch went straight away into this extremely interesting tour. At first the fog around us was so thick that the dunes could not be seen but slowly it disappeared so we were given spectacular views of the desert. We were extremely lucky that a few days before rain fell and otherwise dry riverbeds were in some places full of water. We even ran into some soft mud and the 4x4 Toyota was struggling to get out of it (upon return to Walvis Bay we were definitely the only car painted in mud :) ). The desert took advantage of the rare rain and started to bloom. At the Welwitschia site we discovered tiny little green Welwitschia sprouts coming out everywhere which appears to be a really rare sight not seen in decades. We had several stops, first at the Goanikontes oasis, where we could use the restrooms and see some desert scorpions. We could find some ice cold Namibian beer served here at the music of German schlagers (fyi the large beer was cheaper than a capuccino, quite funny). Next stop we had in the desert and got our finger-food lunch served with cold drinks aside. A remarkable experience! We also made a stop in Swakopmund after exploring the city by car. Unfortunately it was Sunday and everything was closed but nevertheless we got the impression of this city based on German heritage. I would recommend this tour to every nature lover. Except for birds the part we visited is not known to offer animal sightings but one gets to understand the ecosystem getting the water supply from fog, e.g. lichens appear in large quantities. Observing the effects of a sudden supply of water in form of the rare rain was a bonus. Hannes is very kind and very knowledgeable, we learned a lot. Thank you for the super interesting day, Hannes!

• Excellent!!!!!
