Welwitschia, Goanikontes, Moonlandscape & Swakop River Experience

DURATION: Full Day

Experience the uniqueness of this harsh weather-beaten world, in a full day. After picking you up we drive past some historical buildings and sites like ‘Martin Luther’ – our Steam Tractor abandoned in the Desert. We stop at the amazing ‘Musical Rocks’ and explore further up the Swakop River. We will find abandoned Mansions of yesteryear, uneconomical mining ventures and failed Date plantations, a Mad Max Filming site, and a stop at horse watering station, Goanikontes. We go to a 360degree viewpoint and onto the Moonlandscape.

Its Breath taking! It is quiet!
It is a unique ecosystem of gravel plains and river valleys. We admire the breath-taking views of this 500-million-year-old area. The rock formations create stunning landscapes of dolerite and granite, lava dykes, glacier eroded riverbeds and countless mining exploration sites. You feel you are on another Planet. You feel the Silence! We view the 1500-year-old Welwitschia Mirabilis plants and learn how they survive. The plant has only two leaves, the male and female pollination takes place by bright orange bugs. They only grow in a narrow strip, on the Welwitschia Plains, in this area in Namibia.
We tell of hard men surviving in this harsh World. Our route is unique and interesting, includes walks and exploration of beautiful little unknown sites that our family told us about which we want to share with you.
