5.00A guide with a particular passion for his cause has brought us closer to the Namib Desert ecosystem. Chameleon, geckos and snakes we were allowed to see. And a lot of interesting information was imparted to us. It was fantastic!

5.00Kevin was amazing guide, we learned so much about life in the desert. This is a must do trip if you are in Swakopmund. So much better than a motorised trip. We have learnt to open our eyes! We had the most fantastic experience finding hatching chameleon Thank you so much

5.00An absolute must to do if you wish to spend 3 hours on foot exploring the Dunes close to Swakopmund with a experienced local guide who makes the whole experience very special. Kevin managed to locate several very special creatures who make their home in these Dunes none of which can be found anywhere else on the planet. He provides an extremely informative talk on the fragile eco system that these creatures rely on to survive and prosper. Kevin is clearly dedicated to preserving this very special part of Namibia. Highly recommended!

5.00The dune tour on foot with Kevin was definitely a highlight of our trip! He explains many interesting processes about life in the desert in both German and English. We have seen many animals, including a chameleon and also a Namibviper. We recommend everyone to explore the desert by foot. It was an experience!

5.00Kevin is an exceptional guide, friendly, knowledgable and accommodating. He showed us so much on the dunes - snakes, chameleons, tracks, explained the land, formation, rocks, everything you need to know. It was definitely a holiday highlight and I’d do a walk with him anyway. We chose the walk over going in a vehicle on the dunes, you see and learn so much more when walking.
