Discover Life in the Namib Desert

Drive into the Namib Desert and wander through the wilderness! Here, you’ll meet Boesman, who lives in this desert. The plains stretch from South Africa to Angola, but most of it is in Namibia. Discover the unique lifestyle of the desert and prepare for an incredibly dry and hot atmosphere.

Meet ‘The Barefoot Legend’

Meet the legend of the desert, a true tough guy with a lifetime of experience in the desert. He considers it his backyard. Here, he lives with his wife in absolute simplicity, and that’s exactly what you can expect during this experience. This rather special man walks barefoot every day, feeling completely at one with nature. He’s lived his entire life in the desert and has found happiness here – he’s a content man!

Can you imagine it? Living in the middle of nowhere?!

 

Get to Know the Desert and Spot The Little Five

When you think of the desert, you probably picture dry, barren land – but is it really like that? Hop into the back of the pick-up truck and get to know the desert! There’s a great feeling when you’re in the back of the truck, venturing into the wilderness. The Namib Desert is actually full of life, and here you can spot The Little Five. In that vast desert, it’s hard to imagine that there are all kinds of tiny creatures living here, not just sand grains. Curious about who the Little Five are? Take a look at this page.

During a 3-hour walk, you’ll stop at various locations for insights about the area. You’ll learn more about the dunes, the desert, the animals, the fauna, the water, desert agriculture, the Bushmen, and much more! He’ll share everything about the area and his life lessons. His tip: stay away from the black spots in the desert… that’s where you could burn alive. Want to know what other places you can visit in the Namib Desert? Check out this page.
