Fabulous tour guide with exceptional knowledge and passion. We learned a lot about the Namib and he went out of his way to make the trip memorable. Thanks Frank from Charly’s desert tours.

Easy to do yourself with your aito. Get a permit in Swakopmumd. You also criticize the description with that. Spacious and varied tour. Not only the welwischia plant but also the moonscape and more. Take your time. Don't leave too late, it's a whole tour. The same tour is also offered guided, but for a lot of money.
A great tour to learn more about plants

We'd highly recommend this tour! Our guide, Erst, was super informative! We learned so much about the plants and geology of the moon landscape. We even got to see a spider and few geckos. The landscapes were spectacular, but what made the tour really special was how Erst explained the beauty and wonder of the desert to us. He really has a deep respect and admiration for nature that shows in his tours!
Amazing

This was a very interesting trip and I learned a lot about the plant. It is one of the oldest types of plants in the world and able to survive in very hard conditions.

The tour through the moon landscape was an awesome experience. Breathtaking views, great nature and a fantastic geology. We have had the extraordinary privilege being guided by Bawden, He is featuring an amazing profound knowledge in all the disciplines like nature, geology, society and national and international history. His competence is outrageous. A really great personality and a fantastic guide.
Fascinating

We book a sands & rock tour from Charly's Desert tour. It is actually a combination of Living Desert tour and Welwitscia tour. Although living desert tour was very enjoyable with "little five" we found out that Welwitscia tour was better in many ways. In this tour we seen 3 different types of desert, and plants that survive on this harsh environment. Our guide Frank was fabulous. He knew the geography, history and flora of the desert very well. He answered all our questions with care.
