Walvis Bay Waterfront
Walvis Bay is Namibia's main seaport and located between the mouths of the Swakop and Kuiseb rivers on the Atlantic Ocean. On the south side of Walvis Bay is a great lagoon that attracts tens of thousands of birds, including many flamingos. The lagoon, salt pans and the bird sanctuary which form the Walvis Bay Wetlands are one of the most important coastal wetlands of southern Africa. Over 150,000 migrant birds spend the summer months in Walvis Bay and non-breeding palearctic, and intra-African species dominate. Possible sightings include over 150 species of bird that have been recorded in this region. You can see Greater Flamingo, Lesser Flamingo, Great White Pelican, Chestnut-banded Plover, African Oystercatcher, Cape Teal and Black-necked Grebe. But also European and northern Siberian migrants that travel between 10 000 and 14 000 kilometres to reach Walvis Bay each year. These long-distance travellers consist of Curlew Sandpiper, Sanderling, Grey Plover, Ruddy Turnstone,

There are so many options for a Sandwich Harbour tour, but I’m so happy we chose MNG Tour. Our guide, CJ, was amazing and truly went above and beyond. One of the best things about the tour was his timing. He knew exactly when the popular spots would get busy and managed to get us to the viewpoints before they were swamped. At both stops, we were the first ones there, and by the time we were leaving, the big tour groups were just arriving. Having those views to ourselves made a huge difference. A few highlights: • The Dunes: CJ’s driving through the dunes was exhilarating but we always felt completely safe. • Sand Boarding: This was so much fun! It was an extremely hot day, and CJ made sure we knew exactly what to look out for to stay safe on the sand. • The Picnic: We saved the picnic for the end, and it was the perfect way to finish. The food and drinks were delicious, and you can’t beat the view of the ocean meeting the desert. • The Photos: CJ even took cool videos of us and was constantly making sure we were happy and comfortable. CJ is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and you can tell he really cares about his customers. It’s great value for the price, and we would pick MNG Tour again in a heartbeat. 10/10!

Very well organized exit, the driver arrived on time at the exit of the port Superb adventure in the desert, with some fears at the top of the dunes, in front of the slopes... careful driving of the driver who checked before rushing. See flamingos, casseroles, pelicans, seals... and picnic, sensas!

I had the absolute best experience with Mng Tours in Namibia! I did the Sandwich Harbour tour in Walvis Bay, and it was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and so much fun. A huge shout-out to Vernon: such a handsome, professional, and knowledgeable guide! He made the whole trip exciting and comfortable, sharing fascinating insights about the area while making sure everyone was having a great time. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond to capture amazing photos and videos of me. The stunning dune landscapes meeting the ocean were breathtaking, and the whole adventure felt safe, smooth, and full of good vibes. If you're visiting Namibia and thinking about Sandwich Harbour, I 100% recommend Mng Tours!

The sand dunes and the experience of being up there is amazing. The tour needs to be recalculated, as the driver was speeding, the snacks was below average and all our stops were made in a rush.

We were lucky enough to have a private tour with CJ and he did such an amazing job in showing us around. We got the tour started earlier which allowed us to beat other guides to the best spots and even visit a spot which was CJ’s favorite and usually untouched. We also saw a lot more animals than expected, so that was a nice additive. The views themselves are even better than what you can imagine and what you’ve seen online. However, CJs knowledge and navigation was the highlight of the tour.

A really thrilling experience which allowed us to enjoy some animal sightings while driving up and down the dunes Only negative being a rather nasty aroma at the start when passing a very large salt mine

First of all we were told the company would be waiting port side with a board with our name on it. That didn't happen and had to search for the company. The vehicle uses was not comfortable for the people in the back seats. Very squashed having three people on the back seat for at least three hours drive. Talking about the dunes. They were great and a lovely experience. However we were in convoy with thirteen other vehicles so the experience was tainted. We were given drinks and food but the volume of people all diving in for drinks and food spoiled the occasion. We saw wildlife which was amazing. The journey to and from the dunes was long a very bumpy so please take note!

The scenery is beautiful, the picnic on the dunes simple food my excellent, unfortunately our guide was the leader driver and managed the business it held as well as it could to make our tour pleasant but for us it was disturbing

Unfortunately management had very poor communication and the tour started over an hour late. After a back and forth with management we got in the 4x4s and the guides went out of their way to make up and lift the mood. The scenery, the drive, all the information they shared were excellent! Our guide stopped wherever we asked so we could take photos. What started as a not so great experience ended in the top outing for our 3 week tour!
