It was a great time with Herson and the Elephants. We learned a lot of things about these beautiful animals and really enjoyed seeing them from close distance. Also, it was a pleasure getting to know Herson who shared very interesting insights and answered many questions about the daily life in Namibia. We highly recommend this private tour with him!

Full description

Embark on an extraordinary adventure with Herson's 4x4 self-driving tour – an experience tailor-made for all ages. Take the wheel of your own 4x4 as Herson guides you through the landscapes to encounter the gentle Elephants of Damarland in the beautiful Twyfelfontein riverbed. Herson, a native of the region and raised among elephants, shares fascinating insights about these majestic creatures, the surrounding nature, and the rich culture of the indigenous people. As a certified elephant guide, Herson's expertise adds depth to your journey.

Venture through Twyfelfontein, an expansive, dried riverbed teeming with diverse fauna, showcasing countless species. The unparalleled encounter with elephant families will etch lasting memories in your mind.

Living modestly near Khorixas, Herson is more than willing to answer any questions about the animals, the local communities, or the various tribes of Damaraland. Supporting his family, his two school-going children and his community with the proceeds from elephant tours, Herson also crafts and sells wooden elephant products, adding another layer to his passion for these magnificent creatures.

Includes

  • Guided tour (around 90 min.) which will show you the beauty of the nature of Twyfelfontein and its lovely elephants.
  • Herson will answer all your questions about elephants, nature and culture and shows you interesting insights into his life and the communities of Damaraland.
