If you think that looking for little creatures in the desert might be boring, think again!! This was one of the highlights of our Namibia tour. Emanuel, with his vast experience, was able to track tiny lizards, chameleons, snakes and beetles who live under the sand and who are invisible to the rest of us. Bjorn Anderson was a very knowledeable and highly entertaining guide, telling us fascinating stories about these little creatures and about his colourful life.
I have only one complaint and that was about the pickup - we were picked up 3/4 hour later than we were told, which led to us wondering whether we would be picked up at all - Charly's you can do better than that!

Don't miss this trip!
Just back from this tour and it was amazing - very professional with the two driver/guides showing real love for the desert and its creatures.
I have some mobility issues so was worried about how much walking there'd be. However you go from site to site in a land rover and then walk short distances with the vehicle always near enough to get back to if you need to sit.
The guides obviously love what they do and, despite being ecologists, showed us things we'd have never seen on our own. Snouted lizards, burrowing skink, chameleon, beetles and a snake. They were disappointed not to find the gecko on the first few tries but we stayed a bit longer till they found one.
Fantastic trip.

An absolutely worthwhile desert tour to the small creatures of the Namib.
A super desert tour to the small creatures. Jonny tracked them down with years of experience and Björn presented them humorously with profound knowledge.
Plenty of opportunity to see, learn, film, and take photos. We would never have found and experienced that without the guides.

Love the living dunes
Fantastic opportunity to experience this very special but endangered habitat of unique creatures. Bjorn is both knowledgeable and entertaining and the ability of his partner to find these creature is something to witness!

Sympathetic and highly interesting tour
A highly interesting and particularly sympathetic guided tour through the desert, in search of the little creatures. Together, Björn and Immanuel tracked down four of the Little Five and gave us interesting background information about these little creatures. In addition to the information about these desert inhabitants, Björn has provided a lot of general information about Namibia, Namibia's environmental protection, Swakopmund and even a great restaurant recommendation.
We would book this experience again at any time and thank you at this point for the great time.

Do this tour! Desert Little 5
The tour we did with Bjorn and Johnny was excellent. They were well informed about the area and the animals and provided much interesting information as well as being patient and ensuring all participants were involved. Their skills complimented each other. Well worth doing and we both thought it was an excellent tour and well worth the money.

Great experience in the living desert near Swakop. All the little 5 were found and explained very realistically and insightfully.
Punctual, friendly, insightful, and providing a wealth of information about the little 5, as well as geology, desert, Atlantic, and the national parks along the coast.

Dear Michelle,
Thank you for the beautiful 5-star review. I just wonder why such a positive review is rated only 3 stars.
