What To Expect
Walvis Bay Esplanade
Our first stop is at the Flamingos in the Walvis Bay lagune, we learn about them, why they are pink and about their habitat, then we drive past the enormous salt works and see the pink salt lakes. Further in the Lagune , which is a Ramsar site, we see the many waders and palearctic sea birds. The route takes us along the shore, past windswept dunes, seals and black backed Jackals, and harsh salt pans to where the Dunes meet the Ocean. .
The route along the shore takes us past wind swept dunes, black backed Jackals, seals and an array of sea birds. We see salt pans and vast open spaces, often with nobody in sight, and the dune belt that comes closer and closer, until it meets the sea. Entry into Sandwich harbour is often difficult and tide dependent, its Unique, its beautiful. Towering dunes on the left sea on the right. A rollercoaster ride takes us up to the high dunes and spectacular view point. The ambience is quiet and relaxed, its majestic and vast. We then go on an exhilarating dune ride and game drive, searching for what life the desert has to show, from the tiny shovelnose lizard, dancing on the hot dunes, to the ever hardened Oryx struggling to survive these harsh conditions. Along the salt pans back onto the shore to Walvis bay

5.00We had a really great day with Riaan. We drove safely and excitingly through the dunes. The trip was unique... the sea up to the dunes, picnic with delicious finger food. Great views... Sandwich Harbour... Riaan infected us with his good mood and told us a lot of interesting facts about Namibia and the landscape. We are very happy and grateful that we were able to experience this. Thank you Riaan and Team for these moments, they will always be in our memory. ☺️☺️

5.00Omg what an experience! Sandwich harbour is just an incredibly magical place. And the tour was levelled up thanks to Andrew, what an absolute legend. He was knowledgeable, witty and the best company. Always made sure I was happy, fuelled and hydrated. I couldn’t recommend the tour and Andrew as your guide more!

5.00We had a great tour guide in Riaan. He safely but quite adventurously took us through the z. T. steep dunes. He showed us very beautiful viewpoints and brought a local-style picnic. With his very good knowledge and humor, we had a great morning with amazing pictures. Thank you very much, and we would love to do it again!
Great dunes, great day!

5.00Japie is a wonderful guide, driver and companion. Took us for an amazing ride on the sand dunes with an overlook of Sandwich harbour while guiding us through everything. Felt really safe while driving in an adventures way. We also had our 2 year and 9 month old with us and she loved every minute of it. Finished off with some drinks and a delightful lunch - an awesome day overall. Thank you! // Giulia, Rasmus and Sidney
