Once part of a bustling diamond mining community, this building still stands as a reminder of life along Namibia's Diamond Coast.

The people may be gone, but the buildings, photographs and stories they left behind offer a fascinating glimpse into the past.

Some places don't just preserve history. They let you step into it.

See those tiny people? Now THAT puts things into perspective!

Standing approximately 55 metres tall, the magnificent Bogenfels rock arch is one of Namibia's most extraordinary natural landmarks. Carved by the forces of nature along the wild Atlantic coastline, its sheer size is difficult to appreciate until you're standing right beside it.

And getting here? That's an adventure in itself!

Part 3 | Cosmic Craters & Ancient Fossils

Our 12-day scientific expedition concluded with a remarkable journey back into Namibia, exploring some of the southern Namib’s most extraordinary geological and botanical treasures.

From the massive Roter Kamm meteorite crater and rare endemic plants of the Aurus Mountains to ancient rock art and fossils dating back hundreds of millions of years, the final chapter took us through landscapes with stories written long before human history.

A fitting conclusion to an expedition that brought together science, conservation, history and exploration across the Southern Sperrgebiet, Richtersveld and Aus region.

A heartfelt thank you to the Namibia Scientific Society and our scientific leaders, Prof. Norbert Jürgens, Dr. Roger Swart and Prof. Imre Demhardt, for their exceptional knowledge and guidance throughout the expedition.

Our sincere appreciation also goes to Joyce Katjirua, Namdeb, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, and Mr. Bernd Roemer for their invaluable support in making access to these remote areas possible.

It was a privilege for Bogenfels & Diamonds Tours and Sandwich Harbour 4x4 to provide the logistical support for this extraordinary journey.

There’s more to the Diamond Coast than what was left behind.

Between the remnants of its diamond-mining past, life continues - from remarkable desert plants to some of the smallest creatures hiding beneath the surface.

Part history, part nature, part discovery, our expert guides help you understand what you’re seeing along the way — the stories behind the ruins, the plants that survive in this extreme environment, and the wildlife that calls it home.

Come curious. There’s a lot to discover out here.

Part 2 | Across the Richtersveld

Our 12-day scientific expedition continued across the Orange River into South Africa’s remarkable Richtersveld, where ancient geological formations, extraordinary plant life and dramatic mountain landscapes awaited.

Travelling through shifting dunes, the quartzitic plains of Annisvlakte and the limestone landmark of Cornellskop, the group explored how this harsh environment has shaped the region’s remarkable biodiversity.

The journey continued through rugged mountain passes, the narrow gorges of Hellskloof and the copper-coloured cliffs of Numees, before returning to Sendelingsdrift.

Beyond the spectacular scenery, the expedition offered valuable insights into desert conservation, ecological recovery and the importance of protecting one of southern Africa’s most extraordinary landscapes.

Hosted by the Namibia Scientific Society, with logistical support from Sandwich Harbour 4x4 and Bogenfels & Diamonds Tours.

Next in Part 3: Back into Namibia to investigate a massive meteorite impact crater and the isolated mountains of the southern Namib.

Part 1: 12 days. Three scientific disciplines. One extraordinary expedition.

Hosted by the Namibia Scientific Society, with logistical support from Bogenfels & Diamonds Tours and Sandwich Harbour 4x4, this multidisciplinary journey travelled through the Southern Sperrgebiet, Richtersveld and desert landscapes around Aus.

Part 1 took the group deep into the Tsau //Khaeb, exploring the relationship between geology, ecology, climate and more than a century of diamond history.

Beyond the places featured in this carousel, the expedition also examined how former diamond-mining landscapes are being rehabilitated and how this extraordinary environment continues to recover and adapt.

And after a day in the field, there was still time to appreciate where we were - including our first wild camp at Piet-Ab, with fresh oysters and sparkling w**e beneath the desert sky. 🦪🥂
A remarkable first chapter combining field science, conservation, history and exploration.

Next: across the Orange River and into the Richtersveld.
