We offer full day, half day and night tours to search for the only endemic species within the country, the dune adapted Dune Lark as well as other near-endemics such as Gray’s Lark, Benguella Long-billed Lark, Rüppell’s Korhaan and Herero Chat.  Besides the birding, the Namib offers a huge diversity of arid adapted reptiles, insects and plant life.  The Batis guides are trained in the general ecology of the desert and special care is taken to protect and keep the sensitive eco system intact.

Important note: The temperatures while being extremely  hot during the day may plunge rapidly, this is due to the prevailing wind off the Atlantic ocean off the cold Benguella current where the moist air meets the warm desert air and then condenses. This phenomenon is also vital to all the life forms of the Namib Desert. During the Namibian winter winds from the interior termed “berg winds” or “east winds” bringing hot air which is collected from the interior through the desert to the coastline and subsequently temperatures during this time can become extreme along the coast.
