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?!
