Du bist mutig? Du bist an der Geschichte des Landes interessiert? Du liebst Tiere, Landschaft und Einzigartigkeit?! Dann solltest du dir auf gar keinen Fall eine Quadbike Tour mit Fanie du Preez in die wunderbare Dünenlandschaft von Walfischbucht entgehen lassen. Dieser Mann versteht es jedem auf eine besondere Art die Vielfältigkeit der Wüste näherzubringen. Ganz nebenbei kann man dann auch noch den Fahrtwind auf dem Quadbike und die besonderen Herausforderungen der Dünen beim Auf-und Abfahren genießen!
Wir danken dir lieber Fanie für diesen wunderbaren Vormittag- mach weiter so!

“Wir haben eine Wunderschöne Tour in die Dünen mit Fanie gemacht. Ich komme selber schon einige Jahre nach Namibia und habe schon mehrere Touren gemacht.
Die Tour mit Fanie kann ich absolut nur empfehlen. Sie ist sehr informativ und lehrreich. Und Fanie ist ein echtes Original mit Witz und Charme! Fanie hat sich unglaublich viel Zeit genommen alles in Ruhe zu erklären.
Die Quads sind sehr gut gepflegt!

Wir kommen wieder.
Vielen Dank Fanie!

Liebe Grüße

(Translated by Google) We had a wonderful tour of the dunes with Fanie. I've been coming to Namibia for several years now and have done many different tours, but this tour by Fanie, I can absolutely recommend. It is very informative and educational. Fanie is a real character with wit and charm! He did not rush the tour and explained everything thoroughly.
The quad bikes are very well maintained!
We'll be back.

Thank you so much, Fanie!

This is a young dung beetle, which smell this piece of organic material and then flew to it. When they get older, they turn black and lose the ability to fly. They dig holes about 9 inches deep and push out the sand like a bulldozer – from there the word ‘ caterpillar”. As the holes they dig, are too small for animal dung, they use mostly dead plant material to drag into their holes, where they then lay their eggs for their larva to feed on. Often they put seeds of different plants in their holes, in that way planting all the plants in the delta, while the fast moving barkan dunes kill the plants as they relentlessly move north.
Remember, the Kuiseb delta is situated on a massive, shallow fresh water aquifer underneath the dunes, making it a fascinating place in the middle of the dry Namib desert.
Come with Kuiseb Delta Adventures on our well-renowned educational dune desert quad tour and you will witness this and much more in this special place, where we are the only Operator doing tours.

The Educational dune quad tour, called “The Historian”, is not a “Living Desert Tour”, but because of the shallow fresh water aquifer under the dunes, there is an abundance of life, large and small. We see plenty on every tour, notwithstanding the fact that we don’t dig for the small life.
These springbok antelope get eaten by the black backed jackal and the brown hyenas, but they are used to our tours as they know we present no danger, so we see them regularly like this.

Onymacris unguicularis, also known commonly as the fog-basking beetle, head-standing beetle, or Toktokkie, is a species of darkling beetle that is native to the Kuiseb delta of the Namib desert. These beetles stay during the day mostly underneath the soft sand of the dune slipfaces. They only come out of the sand when they eat detritus (dead organic material). At night, during foggy weather, they swim out of the sand and climb up the dune. On the crest of the sand dune, they stand on their forelegs in order to capture water droplets as it runs down their vertical bodies and into their mouths. They drink up to 11% of their body weight in water. The behaviour is called "fog-basking" and is unique to Onymacris unguicularis and Onymacris bicolour, that one get in the north western Namib.
On the second picture you can see why we also call it "The Ear piercing beetle".

It is quite eerie driving your own quad through the mist in these beautiful dunes - with no other tourists around.

EDUCATIONAL DESERT QUAD TOUR
Kuiseb Delta Adventures offers an educational dune quad tour, called “The Historian” in the Kuiseb delta, near Walvis Bay.
This tour is different from the quad tours offered by all the other quad bike operators at the Namibian coast, as small, fully automatic quads are used as vehicles to drive in the soft dune sand. Although not an adrenalin tour, it is still lots of fun to drive in a safe way on your own quad through the dunes, with no other people around. We drive all in one track and always on sand. The prevailing afternoon winds normally obliterate our shallow tracks. For your safety, all tours are owner guided.
The tour covers a large variety of different scientific subjects, but it is also a good mix between pristine nature and fun.
Lagoon Chalets (www.lagoonchaletswb.com), where our tours start, offer high quality caravan/camping sites, holiday chalets, a good coffee shop/restaurant and safe parking for vehicles.
Reservations for our tour are essential and we can be contacted at:
[email protected]; and

As a teaser, can you see the difference between the two skulls on the pictures below? Both skeletons were photographed in the delta and the bones of both have scientifically been aged.
