Namibia · LIVING DESERT TOURS

The 6 Best Living Desert Tours in Namibia

6 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.8 average  ·  from $51

The dune belt behind Swakopmund drinks fog instead of rain, and a guide who can read tracks turns up geckos, sidewinders and a chameleon inside two hours. These 6 tours are priced with their group sizes and morning departure times, which matter more here than anywhere else on the coast.

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 11 reviews · from $65

Ride Swakopmund’s dunes, riverbed, gravel plains, and beach on an eco-friendly e-fatbike tour with expert desert guides.

“The guide knew his stuff and was well-prepared. Finding a chameleon is something really special The e-bikes were in really good shape Riding over the dunes was a real adventure. On our trip, there was an unusual heat in Swakopmund, which made the whole thing very exhausting. Since there were only two of us, we could tailor the trip to our preferences. If we get the chance again, I'd love to do it again”
