Description

Begin your adventure with a pickup from the center of town or at Namib I. Head to Okakambe Stables, where you'll meet your horse and guide. Cross the green but dry, lonesome Swakop riverbed, with its lush vegetation of desert plants, desert-adapted bushes and trees, and various animal tracks. On the other side of the riverbed, enter the tranquil, unique desert with its red stone dunes, black quartz formations, hills, gravel plains, and sandy canyons. Enjoy the solitude, space, and quietness as well as the well-known first plants on earth, the lichens. Surrounded by beautiful brown, beige, ochre, rose, and peach-like colors, ride from viewpoint to viewpoint along granite dunes and rose and white quartz. On this tour you ride higher into the Moon landscape where you can even see the sea, 15 km away. Your local guides will share with you their knowledge about the adapted desert plants, animals, and their tracks as well as their own culture.
