Blutkuppe and Tinkas
In the warm morning light we drive through the dry river bed of the Swakop towards the cliffy moon landscape with fascinating views. The Namib is the home of several plants and animals which only survived in this unique climate of the Namib desert next to the Atlantic ocean. Through secluded gravel roads we reach the Blutkuppe and Tinkas plain. Grandiose rocks build the background for wide open grasslands, a paradise not only for photographers but for all. Depending on the time, we drive back through Gemsbok-Water and Ganab to the seaport Walvis Bay and arrive in Swakopmund in the late afternoon.


Kuiseb, Dune 7 and historical settlements from colonial times
From Swakopmund we drive towards thee south and enjoy the view of the Namib desert in the warm morning light. We drive along the legendary Dune 7 and the Kuiseb water treatment plant to the inland boulder fields. Endemic giant trees grown because of the ground water of the dry river bed and their green treetops give a wonderful contrast to the red dunes in the background. We pass secluded settlements of the Topnaars and reach the desert research center Gobabeb as well as Mirabib.

We enjoy a nice picnic under the shadow of a tree with fascinating views over the Namib landscapes and later on pass Bakenkop, Amichab, Gauab and Hotsas where we can watch game. On our way back to Swakopmund we discover the unique flora of the Namib desert, like the Welwitschia Mirabilis which only exists in the Namib desert.
