"The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man", - this is a saying of an unknown origin but undoubtedly true when encapsulating the beauty and wild untamed essence of Namibia, a land of unrelenting sun, where the earth seems to beg the heavens for rain, and the landscapes stretch uninterrupted for hundreds of kilometres on end.

Put on your helmet, goggles and gloves and surrender to the alluring dune fields. Take a guided excursion with a legitimate company who makes it a priority to ensure as little impact as possible on the fragile eco-system. Multi-guided tour groups are available catering for both the adrenalin junkie and the complete greenhorn. The novice can choose a semi-automatic quad bike or the hell raiser can show off their expertise on a manual bike weaving, zooming, and spiralling the dunes. Start the guided journey at the end of Swakopmund River, then criss-cross the gravel plains leading to the vast dunes where the fun begins.

Pump the accelerator, feel the combination of flying sand, fresh ocean air and the freedom of vast open spaces take control of your adventurous spirit, speed through the dunes, be a daredevil and ride the crests of the dunes, do roller-coasters and wheelies, have great fun while enjoying the awesome surroundings at the some time. Quad-bike across vast dune fields on your way to lookout point where you can park, have a refreshing drink and relish awe-inspiring views of the dramatic Atlantic Ocean. This is an exceptional spot for taking photographs but remember to protect your camera as the sand gets in everywhere. The less adventurous quad biker can enjoy a scenic trip aimed at enjoying the diverse fauna and flora of the Namib Desert.

Quad-biking across vast dune fields is an empowering yet humbling experience, a journey that leaves you with a sense of pride and accomplishment as well as with a newfound admiration for the astounding natural beauty of Namibia.
