Descripción

Qué mejor manera de pasar su tiempo mientras está de vacaciones. Este viaje lo lleva a lo largo del 'Río Swakop' a dos destinos icónicos que se esconden en el desierto desolado de Namib. El paisaje lunar ofrece algunas de las mejores vistas de Namibia y sin mencionar la oportunidad de ver un verdadero fósil, el "Welwitschia Mirabilis", en su gloria y que se encuentra solo en el desierto de Namib y el sur de Angola. Este viaje es ideal para fotógrafos, grupos pequeños, grupos grandes, jóvenes y viejos. Todos los viajes se pueden hacer en la mañana o en la tarde.

Itinerario

Paso sin parada

Hogar de grandes y menores flamencos, golondrinas de mar de Damara, pelícanos, aguacates y numerosas aves acuáticas migratorias, Walvis Bay Lagoon es uno de los humedales más ricos e importantes del sur de África.

20 min

En la inhóspita extensión justo al lado de la C14, a 6 km por carretera de la ciudad, Dune 7 es popular entre los lugareños como lugar de picnic. El sitio de picnic, que ahora está envuelto por la arena, tiene varias palmeras que dan sombra escondidas al socaire de la duna.

Entrada incluida180 min

El Namib es uno de los desiertos más antiguos del mundo, hogar de las dunas de arena cambiantes más altas del mundo y adornado con un caleidoscopio de colores vivos. A su llegada, explorará la vida vegetal y el terreno únicos de esta región árida. A continuación, conducirá a través del valle del río Swakop hasta el paisaje lunar. Creado por los vientos que redujeron las montañas a espectaculares formaciones rocosas y arena, este valle muy erosionado tiene una apariencia similar a la de la superficie de la luna. Desde aquí, procederá a visitar el valle de Welwitschia, donde se encuentran dispersas miles de plantas de welwitschia. Se hará una parada para ver estas fascinantes plantas, junto con una variedad de interesantes líquenes. Luego se hará una parada en un lugar pintoresco para un almuerzo ligero y bebidas.

30 min

Un embarcadero de madera para Swakopmund fue encargado el 25 de abril de 1905 y tenía 275 m de largo y 9 m de ancho. En 1907 se amplió en 50 my se amplió en 5 m. Sin embargo, en 1911 se decidió que el embarcadero de madera debería ser reemplazado por un embarcadero de acero y la construcción se inició en 1912. Con el tiempo, el embarcadero se hizo muy popular entre los pescadores y las personas que disfrutan de paseos y quieren disfrutar de una vista de Swakopmund. Lamentablemente, no se realizaron reparaciones importantes en el muelle en años y, como resultado, se consideró inseguro para los peatones y se cerró en 1983. Afortunadamente se recaudaron fondos, se realizaron reparaciones y el muelle se volvió a abrir en octubre de 2006. El restaurante Jetty 1905 Fue inaugurado en 2010 al final del embarcadero, con impresionantes vistas del mar y Swakopmund. Hoy el embarcadero es una gran atracción turística y sigue siendo popular entre los lugareños con fines recreativos.

Jenifer is truly an exceptional guide

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.

It was a wonderful experience. Efficiently travel to beautiful tourist destinations...

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.

Great Day in the Desert with a Great Guide!

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!

Geology "Rocks"!

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!!

Definitely a not to be missed in when Swakopmund

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.

Wow ….. Just Wow!

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!
