Frequently asked questions about our Namib 4x4 trips

We often get asked: “Do I need previous dune-driving experience for the Faces of the Namib and Lüderitz to Walvis Bay 4x4 trips?”

The short answer is a resounding, NO. While previous experience is recommended, many participants manage the tour without having driven on dunes before.

The tours have also been designed so that dune driving becomes more challenging very gradually. The first two days will suffice to put everyone at ease, and instil enough confidence so that drivers evolve to manage trickier and more challenging dunes as we progress.

All our guides are very well-trained and highly experienced. They are capable of guiding even the most inexperienced drivers through the desert, and they will also always recommend when a driver should not attempt a certain manoeuvre and offer alternative routes instead.

The rule is to LISTEN TO EXACTLY what your guide tells you to do and obey them to the letter. This rule applies to everyone equally. Follow this golden rule, and you will have an experience of a lifetime.

The Faces of the Namib and Lüderitz to Walvis Bay trips have monthly departures in 2025.
