Discover the treasures of the Namib Desert during this memorable off-road adventure. Travel by off-road vehicle towards the Dorob National Park into the northern reaches of the Namib Naukluft Park past the Moon Landscape. The Namib Desert is one of the oldest deserts in the world and is home to the world's highest-shifting sand dunes. It is adorned with a kaleidoscope of vivid colors. Upon arrival, you will explore the unique plant life and terrain of this arid region.
The Moon Landscape was created by winds that have reduced mountains to spectacular rock formations and sand, this vastly eroded valley has an appearance similar to that of the moon's surface.
From here, you will proceed to the Welwitschia Valley, where thousands of welwitschia plants are scattered about. Stop to view these fascinating plants, along with a variety of interesting lichens. Continue through the river back to Goanikontes for a refreshment stop. Enjoy a snack before making your way back to Walvis Bay. Drive along the dune belt road back to the harbour.
