Put on your riding shoes, strap up the saddle and mount the horse of your choice! This Swakopmund tour you are going to gallop into a land of mirages, lofty dunes, saltpans and dust storms. Ride along the picturesque Swakop River that shimmers like a mirage in the vastness of Namib Desert. Its graceful contours cutting through the sandy terrain and the Barkan dunes in the backdrop, forms a perfect postcard picture. If you are lucky, you might come across some desert animals quenching their thirst at the river. Splash into its revitalising waters and appreciate its contradicting surrounds with the Atlantic Ocean running alongside. Enjoy the myriad hues that light up the sky at dusk time, accentuating the silvery waters in the arid environs. Alternatively, you are given an option to gallop on the moon like terrain of 'Moon Landscape' in the inlands of Swakopmund. This enormous barren, rugged terrain is enveloped by a series of valleys of the Swakop River. Riding on this undulating terrain you will cross its huge rock pool, Goanikontes and splash into the waters of Khan River. The splendid the sunset over the burned mountains in the backdrop of the 'Moon Landscape' embellishes this horse back riding tour. Mount a horse, explore the scenic barrenness and lose yourself in the revitalising sunset-on this Namibian trip, don't forget to carry extra film for your camera!
