Summary: We had such a great morning doing the Living Desert walking tour with Kevin! The fact that the whole tour is on foot makes it such a cool way to explore the Namib Desert and really take everything in without disturbing or damaging the environment or its inhabitants. Kevin is clearly super passionate about the desert and its wildlife, and we learnt so much about the ecosystem and the role all the different animals play. He also has an unbelievable eye for spotting wildlife... no idea how he finds some of these animals! We had such an awesome morning seeing different snakes, gecko, lizards, chameleons and of course Albie. Everything was done in a really respectful and ethical way, which we really appreciated, and we left with some amazing images and memories. Easily the highlight of Swakopmund for me. Thanks for an awesome morning, Kevin.

Summary: The tour was just great! Our guide Kevin was able to tell us a lot about the desert, the ecosystem, and the animals. We were also lucky and were able to admire some animals. I would definitely prefer this walking option over a tour by car again, as you can enjoy the peace of the desert and spot the animals much more easily.

Summary: Kevin accompanied us through the dunes to spot the sidewinder, the lizards, and the Namibian chameleon. His experience and a bit of luck allowed us to spot all the animals that can be seen in the dunes. I highly recommend this activity to everyone.
