5.00I absolutely loved the tour. The scenery of Sandwich Harbour was exotic and I think it is a must-visit place. And the guide was really professional. I was able to see everywhere satisfactorily because he adjusted the destinations according to the weather and the time of day. Needless to say, his driving skills were professional, and because he was born and raised in Namibia for a long time, his explanation was also very detailed, so I was able to understand not only all the places I visited, but also the explanations of each animals and plants and the history of national parks. The first place I visited was the salt farm near Walvis Bay. As I climbed the nearby sand dune, I was told why salt farms and pink salts were made. In the process of moving to a national park, it not only explained changes in the natural landscape, such as the change in the location of the national park and the movement of dunes due to natural phenomena, but also provided additional explanations for various animals and plants that could be encountered in the process of moving. He also tried to find animals such as Springbok, Orix, and jackal for me, and succeeded. On the way, I saw four Springboks and four jackals, excluding numerous seals, and this was very interesting.
Do NOT miss this!!!

An Unforgettable Sandwich Harbour Adventure with Lukas!

5.00What a day we’ve had! We were picked up by Lukas for the Sandwich Harbour tour, and wow — what a tour! From the very beginning, Lukas went out of his way to make it the best day possible. The scenery was absolutely marvellous — the sea was stunning, and we were lucky enough to see whales, seals, and flamingos. Lukas explained everything so well, sharing his knowledge and passion for the area. To top it off, we enjoyed wine and a few snacks right there in the desert — an experience that felt almost magical. The only thing I can say is: you’ve got to see it to believe it! Thankyou
