What To Expect
Walvis Bay Esplanade
Our first stop is at the Flamingos in the Walvis Bay lagune, we learn about them, why they are pink and about their habitat, then we drive past the enormous salt works and see the pink salt lakes. Further in the Lagune , which is a Ramsar site, we see the many waders and palearctic sea birds. The route takes us along the shore, past windswept dunes, seals and black backed Jackals, and harsh salt pans to where the Dunes meet the Ocean. .
The route along the shore takes us past wind swept dunes, black backed Jackals, seals and an array of sea birds. We see salt pans and vast open spaces, often with nobody in sight, and the dune belt that comes closer and closer, until it meets the sea. Entry into Sandwich harbour is often difficult and tide dependent, its Unique, its beautiful. Towering dunes on the left sea on the right. A rollercoaster ride takes us up to the high dunes and spectacular view point. The ambience is quiet and relaxed, its majestic and vast. We then go on an exhilarating dune ride and game drive, searching for what life the desert has to show, from the tiny shovelnose lizard, dancing on the hot dunes, to the ever hardened Oryx struggling to survive these harsh conditions. Along the salt pans back onto the shore to Walvis bay

5.00We can only recommend a very impressive dune tour in the desert with the guide Michael, who carries Namibia in his heart. With his competent knowledge of flora and fauna and many other things, he brought us more to know his beautiful country. This will be a lasting memory for us.
Great Excursion from Swakopmund

5.00Sandwich Harbor is truly a unique place and is a must-do tour. Our trip was excellent - we saw wildlife, dunes, and ocean. Our guide/driver, Stephan, was excellent. We learned all about Sandwich Harbor and had a blast driving through the dunes. Stephan made the tour feel personal, answered all our questions, and took our interests/preferences into consideration. We had yummy food/drinks after driving through the dunes. All tours are down in 4WD vehicles, and our tour was just us and the guide.
Andrew the best

5.00It’s an unforgettable experience. We had Andrew as driver, and I was struck by his professionality in this job. He definitely knonws how to drive on the dunes: I really felt both amazed and protected by the way he drives! In addition to that, he explaines a lot of scientifical infos about the animals you meet in the desert. We couldn’t be happier. The food offered in the seashore is really tasty (and if an Italian says that you can trust me ;)). I suggest this experience and thus driver !!
Sandwich Harbour tour is a must
