Moon Valley in Namibia, near Swakopmund, is a surreal and otherworldly landscape sculpted by the Swakop River over millennia. This stark, lunar-like terrain is best explored with a 4x4 vehicle, as the roads can be challenging. Guided tours are highly recommended for navigation and to learn about the unique geology and plant life, including the ancient Welwitschia mirabilis. While generally accessible year-round, the dry season (May to October) offers more favorable weather. Entry fees are relatively low, but tour costs vary depending on the operator. A typical visit can range from a half-day to a full day, depending on the extent of exploration and chosen activities. Accessibility for those with mobility issues may be limited due to the rugged terrain.
