What To Expect
Walvis Bay Esplanade
Our first stop is at the Walvis Bay esplanade. Here we see the Pink Flamingos. We learn about the greater and lesser Flamingos. We drop our tyre pressure to .8 bar and are ready to take on the beach ride. We pass the pink Salt lakes of the Salt Mine and passed hundreds of waders and palearctic migratory birds in the Lagoon, along the shore to the towering Dunes of Sandwich harbour. Magnificent wide open spaces as the dunes get closer to the sea. We enter where Dunes meets sea on a narrow strip of beach. Awesome dune views and walks await us. We take a stomach tingling roller coaster ride to the Sandwich harbor view point. The bay is at your feet, surrounded by the Nara bush. Sandy sandbanks are awash in the bay and the green sea with blue sky red dunes is absolutely awesome. We take a dune drive to the best views, searching for animals in the desert and look for an unique picnic spot. Lunch with a dune view, quiet, very quiet only us around. We have time for dune and beach walks.
Walvis Bay
Our route takes us through the dunes and a game drive where we might see Ostriches , Oryx, Jackal and Springbuck. On the beach the Seals may be sleeping or playing, and if we are lucky we will see Dolphins and Whales. The route is back along the shores with thousands of birds. Sadly we end up in Walvis Bay. We tank up and air up and take your back to your hotel.

5.00Our guide, Michael Lohmeier, was great. In accent-free German he told us in detail interesting things about the country, people, history and about the wildlife. He drove us confidently through the dunes. All in all an impressive and very great experience that we will not forget and will remember gladly.
FANTASTIC!!

5.00Riaan was our driver for the full day sand dunes tour. He was great, very funny, talkative and knew so much about the history and animals of the area. We saw flamingos, pelicans, seals, hump back whales, jackals, springbok, and some onyx. The drive along the beach between the oceans and sand dunes was so fun and got even better when we started driving into the dunes. Riaan set up a delicious lunch with so much food and plenty of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. He showed us how to find water, explained to us how the animals survived and also how the native people managed to survive in the harsh desert. He was also our personal photographer for the day and took so many great photos of us. He added so many personal touches that made him stand out above the rest and we'd highly recommend him to all our friends and family.

Sandwich Harbour, Namib Dunes and Pelican Point, Walvis Baai, Namibia

5.00The full day tour of Sandwich Harbour and Pelican Point was outstanding!!!! The tour guide Riaan went out of his way to make everyone in the group relaxed. His infectious enthusiasm for the natural beauty of the Walvis Baai area was very enjoyable. He also added quite a few quirks and surprises during the day, such as digging a hole in the dunes and letting the group taste real desert water. Sandwich Harbour and the dunes of the Namib have to be experienced. Photos just don't do it. Driving across the dunes was fantastic and the view from the many stops were spectacular. Pelican Point with its seals and the lighthouse was a great experience too. This was really a worthwhile day trip!!!!
Amazing day between Sand and sea

Full day Sandwich Harbour

5.00A wonderful day travelling along the beach and into the Sandwich Harbour and dunes, with great guide. For those arriving by cruise ship, the guide, Uwe, met us harborside. We drove out of Walvis Bay stopping to see flamingos, pelicans and the salt lakes. We continued along the beach and up into the sand dunes, stopping at a number of incredible viewpoints. Along the beach we saw lots of cormorants and seals. In the dunes, Uwe pointed out the tracks of hyenas. He suggested we take off our shoes to enjoy the feeling of sand between our toes. He dropped us off at the top of the dunes and we climbed/slid down barefoot. We stopped for drinks and lunch, a selection of meats, samosas, cheese with cake and sweet deserts, very enjoyable. On our return route, we drove through the bush where we saw Oryx and Springboks. Returning to Walvis Bay, we stopped again the see the pelicans and flamingos and also saw a jackal wandering along the beach, searching for mussels etc. Uwe was very knowledgeable and we had a great day out with him. Highly recommend this trip.
Winton was marvellous....
