An unforgettable journey through untouched Atlantic beaches, diamond mining history, and breathtaking landscapes
This exclusive concession trail (only accessible through Desert Magic Tours) offers 20 km of pristine Atlantic beachfront, fascinating history about diamond mining in Atlantis and Ophyr mining settlements, remarkable shipwrecks, and the stunning Mercury Island and Spencer Bay.
Your adventure begins in Luderitz, where you’ll meet your guides and fellow travelers the night before departure. Over four incredible days, you’ll experience the raw beauty of Namibia’s coastline, from dramatic dunes to historic mining sites.
Get together at Obelix Village or similar venue in Luderitz to meet the guides, receive two-way radios, meet fellow travelers, and discuss the upcoming adventure. Dinner will be provided by Desert Magic Tours.
