    Highlights
      What to Expect
      Your day starts after collection from the Walvis Bay Yacht Club 8:30. After a quick briefing you'll depart towards Sandwich Harbour. Along the way you'll stop at the Walvis Bay lagoon- a RAMSAR site which is home to 250 000 flamingos in the rainy season.
      Then stop at the Walvis Bay Salt Refinery where you'll learn more about the production taking place there. From there we head into the Kuiseb river bed, a lush area with alot of vegetation for local wildlife. From there we drive alongside a natural salt pan on route to the  Namib desert.
      We stop to look for wildlife on route and then its onto Sandwich Harbour. The narrow stretch of beach we have to pass next is very exciting. It is the famous area where huge Namib dunes meet the roaring Atlantic ocean. Once you have navigated this section you will now reach Sandwich Harbour. Here you have time to climb the dunes to get the best view of this spectacular area.
      *******PLEASE CONFIRM THAT YOUR VEHICLE INSURANCE WILL COVER DRIVING ON SAND AND SAND DUNES, PRIOR TO STARTING THIS TOUR. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY THAT OCCURED DURING THIS TOUR. THIS TOUR IS STRICTLY AT YOUR OWN RISK*******
      After our stop we depart through the dunes and delta on route back to town.
      Conclude your tour back in Walvis Bay.

      Excellent Tour to Sandwich Harbour.

      Jaques and JP led a very nice tour to Sandwich Harbour. The instruction on sand driving techniques was appropriate and very useful, as well as the slow introduction to driving on sand near the Salt works. The drive through the Kuiseb Delta was very scenic,...More
