What To Expect

Kuiseb River

After a short break at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to see masses of flamingos, the drive initially takes us to the Kuiseb river delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok may still be seen. As this area forms part of our Kuiseb Delta Concession, we are the only activity operator allowed to access this area. If weather and tides allow, we will drive right to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon along the beach, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands and one of five RAMSAR sites (Ramsar site no. 743) in Namibia.

Sandwich Harbour boasts two distinct wetlands and associated mudflats. One is aquifer-fed and supports typical emergent vegetation, but is slowly disappearing due to natural causes. The second, under tidal influence, consists of mudflats and raised shingle bars. Wedged between the sea and the Namib Dunes, it is one of Namibia's most important coastal wetlands, supporting eight endangered species among the large numbers of wading birds. Several archaeological sites dating back 1,000 years exist within the site. Human activities have included fishing, guano collection, and hunting. If our vehicles cannot drive all along the beach to get to Sandwich Harbour because of high tide, you will get a chance to see the lagoon area from one of our many beautiful lookout spots and will have the time to walk and explore. We have lots of time to stop along the way for photography. • Lunch: Selection of our famous fresh Namibian oysters and snacks with sparkling wine, beers and cool drinks.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this half day trip. I honestly cannot recommend it highly enough. Our guide Deon was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience fun and memorable. Driving along the beach at low tide was a thrill and the view from up on the dunes onto Sandwich Harbor was breathtaking. The lunch provided high up on the dunes (with oysters and sparkling wine) is something I will never forget. I have already recommended this trip to several other travellers we have met in Namibia. We absolutely loved it.
not the best adventure for this price in my opinion

Unfortunately I found the tour a little disappointing and above all the price is much too high for a nearly 4 hour tour, 130 Dollars is crazy.
We never expected this!

The tour description of the day came nowhere close to the impressive experience we were offered of the Namibia desert and massive dunes and stunning beaches. The views were breath taking and the guides were informative. Even the picnic lunch on top of a mountain of sand was beyond expectations. I'm glad I captured the day with photos.
Don’t miss this one!
