Follow your guide, who will point out ancient fossils and well-preserved animal footprints while you learn about the local vegetation and plants that are able to thrive despite unforgiving desert conditions. Catch a glimpse of scorpions, snakes and lizards that scurry throughout the landscape and learn about the Topnaar tribe—a seminomadic people that once made their home at the mouth of the Kuiseb River Valley.

AND OER THE DUNES I GO.....
Charlee_S, Jun 2019
What an experience. Lovely to do with teens & young adults. with younger kids, 1 hour of quad biking is enough. We went with the full monty of 3 hours. At some point 2 jackals were running next to us on the dunes. It was amazing.

If you want to get lost in the desert, this is the tour to take. We enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide Jan was patient and informative. It would be recommended that their telephone number is provided as we arrived at the departure point and there was nobody to meet us and no number was provided.
