This 4-hour 4x4 adventure tour is specially designed for our clients arriving via passenger liner. You will be met & picked up at the Walvis Bay port where your cruise ship will be docking. Before heading out to Sandwich Harbour we first make a stop at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to admire the flamingos and occasionally a great white pelican, flow the Walvis Bay Salt Refiners with all its pink salt lacks. Now we are off to the Nambi Desert -Sandwich Harbour, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands. Wedging between the sea and dunes "if tides permit"; if tides forbid, surf the dunes up to the many convenient lookout spots. Lots of time are granted to explore the area as well as photograph opportunities. Finally, enjoy a light picnic lunch with some cold beverages with a natural desert backdrop, then hit the dunes for some more excitement before concluding your adventure to the Kuiseb River Delta, a dry riverbed where you can occasionally see springbok, oryx, or even ostrich.

4.00This tour was well organised. As promised, the tour operator of Wild Space Safaris contacted us 2 weeks prior to the tour date to advise of starting time & again on the day of the tour. We travelled in a convoy of about seven 4x4 vehicles, 4 persons to each. The long drive along the beach was very scenic with sightings of seals, flamingos, large flocks of cormorants, dolphins, whales & even a jackal on the beach. Our drive up & down the dunes was good for an adrenaline rush as Dune 7 is nearly 100 m high. We got to walk/slide down this dune on foot which was great. We really enjoyed the champagne/beer picnic with delicious snacks & chocolate cakes. The only small negative to the tour was that our vehicle was faulty. One rear door wouldn’t open from the inside & the window didn’t open. We needed the fresh air because there was a strong exhaust smell in the car. We would have also liked more commentary along the way. Having said that, our driver was very skilled & at no time did we feel unsafe. It was a very enjoyable tour.
Great tour! It was nice...

4.00Great views and wildlife. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Many stops at very interesting places. Only negative is our pickup time was changed from 9:30 to 12:30. But as we are learning this seems to be the norm in Africa. We have done three excursions now in Africa and all three changed the time to 3 hours later. Nice lunch on the beach.
Best day in the dunes

5.00We had a wonderful day with the team of Wild Safari Adventure tours. Our guide, Glen, was stellar and ensured that we not only had a great experience but also imparted so much information about Walvis Bay and Sandwich Harbour. The dunes were incredible and not to be missed if you are ever in Namibia. Along with all of the excitement we were treated to a wonderful lunch complete with champagne, beer and non-alcohol beverages. Thank you Hans and the full team at Wild Safari Adventure Tours for making our port stop in Walvis Bay Namibia a day we will always remember.

5.00Excellent excursion. Good joining experience adjacent to cruise terminal. Small tour group; we were 3 4 x 4 vehicles with 4 guests per vehicle. Started with drive to salt plain; very interesting & informative, followed by dune experience. Marius, our driver, was very experienced, and he was an excellent leader. The dune topography is outstanding & his skills were apparent, Towards the end of the tour, we were treated to a first class buffet (from their new supplier) & both food & drink were plentiful & of a high quality. Finished off with driving along the shoreline with ocean on one side & dunes on the other. Great way to finish the experience before the relatively short drive back to the cruise terminal. No hesitation in recommending this company & excursion.
