Cần Quan Tâm
Travel along the small-holdings on the northern bank of the Swakop River into the oldest desert of the world, the Namib Desert. Your guide will explain the origin of the Namib Desert and explain the geological and climatic conditions of this coastal desert. As we proceed further we leave every trace of civilisation behind and find ourselves surrounded by the rugged and rocky scene of the Namib Desert. Experience the "Ringing Stones" and the fascinating plants of the Namib, for example the indigenous Lithops, also known as the "Living Stones", as well as a variety of rare Lichens, and most of all, 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 the Trac-trac Chat.
After a pleasant lunch break, we drive along the dry riverbed of the Swakop valley which is lined with Tamarisk, Prosopis and Ana trees. We pass Oasis "Goanikontes", enter the Namib Naukluft Park and view the "Moon Valley" from a vantage point. We close off this tour with a visit to the shifting sand dunes near Swakopmund.

5.00Highly recommend, especially if you'd like to see the moon landscape/moon valley, as well as learn more about rare and interesting plants in Namibia! Hans was a very cheery and knowledgeable guide, and the tour passed by very quickly.
Superb morning visit of the Moon valley and surrounds.

5.00This morning tour of the Moon Valley, Goanikontis, and canyons along the Swakopmund River was so interesting that the time just flew. The bonus at the end was the welwitschas which have always been on my bucket list. Hans Dieter, our guide, has a wealth of information to share and is also a local Swakopmunder having lived there for all of his 91 years. A truly wonderful enlightening morning. Thank you
History and nature first hand

5.00We booked a half-day trip to the moonscape and Welwitschia with Hans, originally wanted to drive ourselves and have wg. No permission on Sundays closed office. That was our great luck because otherwise we would have missed Hans. At 91 years old (!), he is an almost inexhaustible source of knowledge about Namibia's history during the last decades, but has not only read it, but experienced it himself. Against this background, the tour was a real experience for us, first with the so-called lunar landscape, then the Guanikontis Oasis and last but not least the drive through the Swakop River (which we would not have been able to do as a self-drive without 4x4). For the finale the Welwitschia, no beauty, fortunately not Instagramm-able, but for Namibia visitors just a must-see. We can warmly recommend Hans-Dieter Göthje to anyone interested in deeper knowledge about botany and Namibia, who, incidentally, with his age could also be a role model for all those who want to spend the evening of their lives not only in the chair.
Informative day out in the Desert

4.00Used 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.
Great tour with Hans-Dieter

5.00The 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!
Warm and competent

5.00We 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.
Very pleasant overall...
