Great Desert Tour - My husband and I went on this tour with about 8 other people from our tour group. PJ was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing information about what lives in the Namib desert. He also described how the sand is composed of many minerals. We saw the following: Palmetto Chameleon, FitzSimmons Legless Skink (lizard), Namaque Chameleon, Shovelsnouted Lizard, Sidewinder Snake. We spent 3 hours driving and walking thru the desert. I highly recommend this tour.

unknown wildlife in the desert - We were lucky and went on a tour with a total of 3 people in the early afternoon. Ernst was our guide and he was very respectful towards the animals. We didn't see all of the animals, but that's nature. We still had a lot of fun. Ernst is very knowledgeable about animals. He has a great sense of humor and at the end we went on a drive through the dunes, which was also an experience. And he has an eye for the animals - amazing, I would never have guessed that there was something there. He also collected rubbish and that earned him a lot of points from us. It's a real shame that there are people who throw everything away so carelessly. We were very happy with our tour!

Desert up close. Only with the guides can you discover life - A pure desert experience! In winter, make sure you bring warm clothes in the morning. It's cross-country and the guides have a lot to explain. Sometimes it takes a bit too long, but you can take the time to take photos or take in the landscape.

Wonderful experience. - We had a great tour with Ernst, he was fascinating to listen to and he found a surprising range of critters in the dunes. We highly recommend Charley's Desert Tours. They were pleasant to deal with and responsive to our emails.

Our Namibian highlight - We were astounded by our guide's ability to find the Tiny 5 of Africa using the most subtle of tracks. This was definitely a "pinch me moment", seeing the Plamato gecko, Sand-diving lizard; Sidewinding Snake and Namaqua Chameleon. We felt like we were in a David Attenborough documentary. These tiny creatures can only be seen with the services of a skilled guide and we felt privileged to witness them. Highly recommended.

A must do for creature lovers!! - The team really works hard to show the little 5 in the desert and share all the knowledge related to the creature. They also take you on a short ride of the sand dunes. The tour highlights the life of the creatures thriving in desert and their survival techniques.

Love the living desert - Wonderful guide , jurgen , shared his knowledge of nature and life in the dunes . Respectful of the environment unlike other operators (sandwich harbour) who tore up the dunes in their 4x4’s . Jurgen made sure to teach us about the delicate wild life . We loved every single moment

Beautiful and informative - From collection to drop off this was an excellent trip. Saw some fascinating animals, sidewinder, chameleon, gecko's and more. The guide Bawden was very knowledgeable about the creatures and the desert. Wine and cheese on the beach was a lovely way to end the trip before returning to the ship.

Good tour - Good tour but I set my expectations too high after my friend recommended the Living Desert Tour in Swakopmund to see chameleons. On booking, we were told we would definitely see a chameleon. However, when we were picked up in the morning we were told that this company hadn't seen chameleons for 3 months. But just one week before we did this tour, my friend had seen a chameleon through Tommy's Desert Living tour. Was definitely great to see the geckos and snakes, but I do wish we had booked Tommy's Living Desert.

Unique experience - Nice excursion in the dunes - surprising how one manages to find the (desert) animals (which are hidden under the sand). Extensive and thorough explanation - highly recommended!
