Our guides, Tuyeni and Mathew from Explorer Tours took us on an amazing journey.
After seeing the flamingoes, they brought us away from the buses and tourists and into the culture. We went to Swakopmund and saw all quaint German buildings, but more meaningful was the visit to the DRC informal housing settlement. We met the most generous, kind and lovely people. They opened their homes to us and made us a traditional meal. It was fantastic. A group of singers came and performed the most beautiful and moving music.
Our guides helped us understand the different tribes, their language and customs, the country’s history and provided context for what we were seeing.
If you are truly interested in experiencing Namibia and the people who live there, this is highly recommended. You will be forever changed.

We first went along the Walvis Bay promenade to see the flamingoes and pelicans, and then on to the pink salt lagoons near the salt processing factory.
We then went out to Dune 7, Namibia's tallest sand dune, and had a good half hour to climb up it (or some of it). The dunes then gave way to the desert, and we saw the welwitschia plants, and heard about how you could survive in the desert using certain plants. We then drove around the Swakopmund township, visited a day nursery and a food kitchen and learned about township life. We then went into Swakopmund town, and had about 90 minutes to look around this beautiful old town. Altogether a great day out.

We booked an private Tour for 4 and in german language. What we get was an Tour with additional 2 Guest in our car and 2 in an other car. The Tour language was in english and not in german. On every stop the guide Mode to the other car and explain the other couple about the tour. This was not satisfied and not what we booked. We pay an higher price for an private Tour for 4 and travel in Total by 8 Persons.
