3.“UP CLOSE” Living Desert E-FatBike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 11 reviews · from $65

Ride an e-fatbike through the Namib Desert near Swakopmund, spot desert animals and plants up close, and learn how to travel quietly.

“The guide knew his stuff and was well-prepared. Finding a chameleon is something really special The e-bikes were in really good shape Riding over the dunes was a real adventure. On our trip, there was an unusual heat in Swakopmund, which made the whole thing very exhausting. Since there were only two of us, we could tailor the trip to our preferences. If we get the chance again, I'd love to do it again”
