This bike tour explores the Namib Desert, the world's oldest desert, located near Swakopmund. The tour lasts about two hours and is led by an experienced guide. Participants receive a fat bike and helmet at the office before a short safety briefing. The ride begins in town, passing through the historic center and heading toward the Swakop riverbed. After reaching the desert edge, the route continues into the dry riverbed and includes climbing dunes. Riders spend around one hour cycling across the dunes, with optional downhill sections for those seeking more excitement. The guide provides information about the desert environment and its wildlife during the ride. The tour concludes with a return ride along the dry riverbed toward the coast, and when tides allow, some biking along the beach back to the starting point. This is an ecological way to explore the desert with minimal impact on the environment.
