Hjem til store og mindre flamingoer, Damara-terner, pelikaner, avocetter og talrige vandrende vandfugle, er Walvis Bay Lagoon et af de rigeste og vigtigste vådområder i det sydlige Afrika
I den dystre flade lige ved C14, 6 km ad vej fra byen, er Dune 7 populær blandt lokalbefolkningen som et picnicsted. Rastepladsen, som nu er opslugt af sand, har flere skyggefulde palmer gemt væk i klittens læ.
Namib er en af de ældste ørkener i verden, hjemsted for verdens højest skiftende klitter og prydet med et kalejdoskop af levende farver. Ved ankomsten vil du udforske det unikke planteliv og terræn i denne tørre region. Dernæst kører du gennem Swakop River Valley og ind til Månelandskabet. Skabt af vinden, der reducerede bjerge til spektakulære klippeformationer og sand, har denne stærkt eroderede dal et udseende, der ligner månens overflade. Herfra fortsætter du til et besøg i Welwitschia-dalen, hvor tusindvis af welwitschia-planter er spredt rundt. Der vil blive gjort et stop for at se disse fascinerende planter sammen med en række interessante lavplanter. Der vil derefter blive gjort et stop på et naturskønt sted for en let frokost og drinks
En træbrygge til Swakopmund blev taget i brug den 25. april 1905 og var 275 m lang og 9 m bred. I 1907 blev den forlænget med 50 m og udvidet med 5 m. I 1911 blev det imidlertid besluttet, at træbryggen skulle erstattes af en stålbrygge, og konstruktionen blev påbegyndt i 1912. Med tiden blev anløbsbroen meget populær blandt lystfiskere og mennesker, der nyder fritidsvandringer og ønsker at nyde udsigten over Swakopmund. Desværre blev der ikke foretaget større reparationer af anløbsbroen i år, og som et resultat blev det betragtet som utrygt for fodgængere og blev lukket i 1983. Heldigvis blev der indsamlet midler, reparationer blev udført, og anløbsbroen blev genåbnet i oktober 2006. Restauranten Jetty 1905 blev åbnet i 2010 i slutningen af molen med en betagende udsigt over havet og Swakopmund. I dag er molen en stor turistattraktion, og den er stadig populær blandt de lokale til rekreative formål

I signed up for this tour based on its excellent reviews and it exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Jenifer is truly an exceptional guide, she re-arranged the order of the tour sites to make sure I was slightly ahead of the cruise ship crowds, and took great photos at every stop. She narrated every stop and every scenery with so much passion, and she went the extra mile to show several “natural magic tricks”, such as using magnet to separate iron from sand. And she took so much trouble to prepare an elaborate picnic lunch for me and my wife in a quiet and beautiful secret spot. I can really feel her love for Namibia, and her desire to showcase the best of Namibia’s hospitality to her guests. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Walvis Bay without hesitation.
Thank you very much for this excellent review. I will convey your thanks to Jen and make sure she sees your kind words!
It was a wonderful experience. It was an easy explanation for those of us who travel around beautiful tourist spots efficiently and do not speak English well. A picnic lunch was served on the way. We enjoyed delicious food while drinking sparkling wine. Thank you for the guide.
Thank you very much for this beautiful review. I will make sure that Jenifer gets your message.
Absolutely amazing tour , guide Jenifer was very knowledgeable and great fun. Learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Lovely snacks in the shade . All four of us had a really memorable day and would heartily recommend.
Thank you Jill. This is such a wonderful review. Jen says thank you for your confidence. It is normally dificult for ladies to be trusted in these jobs. We as owners and management thank you for this review. It helps us enable all walks of life into our venture. Thank you very much!
This was a terrific tour! Our guide, Jenifer, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She shared her love of her country, the beauty of the desert, some of its history and the plants that make the Namib desert unique in all the world. She is passionate about nature and loves what she does. Her delight in the small flowers, lichens, rocks and plants we saw was contagious, and we not only learned a lot but also came to appreciate the beauty ourselves. The highlight for me was the desert and "moonlandscape," but I also enjoyed the visit to Swakopmund. We walked around the old part of town, saw the jetty and walked the beautiful promenade. At the end of the day, I snapped a great pic that captures the wide-open expanses and stark beauty that seems to define this lovely part of the world. Thank you, Jenifer, for a wonderful day!
A very interesting and well thought out trip. Driver knowledgeable, friendly and catered to our interests. Saw much more than we imagined. Picnic, though simple, absolutely beautifully situated and delicious
A perfect place family breakaways, social gatherings, team building and even year end functions. Setting is beautiful and serene.
Such a fun day trip to visit the "Moonscape" - such a unique geologic area! The Welwitschia are absolutely amazing to see up close and the drive out to them is fantastic! If you're into the local bird life request "Korbus" as your guide and he'll happily tell you all about them and take you out to see his favorite spots! We had such a great time - absolutely recommend!!
Great tour in the desert. Jenifer was a terrific guide. Very friendly, informative and fun.. Had lots of laughs and great champagne lunch in the desert.
Stunning and extraordinary landscapes. Like many parts of Namibia expect the wow factor when you drive over a hill. We've done this drive a couple of times and found it just as staggering the second time. Stop off at the Oasis which has now expanded and offers wedding venue and small museum room. Get your park pass in Swakopmund though you're not likely to need it.
First class day touring the STUNNING Namib desert. Our guide, Jenifer was everything we could have hoped for - friendly, extremely knowledgeable and had a great passion for this wonderful area. Easy meeting point right by our ship and a lovely new 4x4 which was extremely comfortable! We drove by Dune 7, took the highway and then track across the desert to reach the Moon landscape area. Driving through the landscape was breathtaking and ever changing. We took hundreds of pictures but they’ll never do justice - you have to see and feel this incredible landscape for yourself! Stopped and had a lovely picnic in the riverbed under the shade of a tree - absolutely stunning! Went to an Oasis where you can purchase nice gifts and have a cool beer or a piece of (delicious) homemade cake! Then moved on to Swakopmund and had a great tour of the area, ending up by the lagoon full of flamingos. Did so much more during the day - too much to mention everything - but watching magic tricks, studying Welwitschia and chasing an Ostrich along the riverbed were a few of the highlights! This tour is a MUST for your Namibian adventure - and if you’re lucky you may get Jenifer!
