Sandwich Harbour Day Tour

This tour is done with all-wheel drive vehicles with expert off-road drivers/tour guides, and start in Walvis Bay where we stop at the lagoon to view the abundance of bird life, especially the abundance of flamingo’s.

From there the tour proceed to the salt works where visitors can photograph this massive salt mountain that looks like an ice berg.
We drive through the vegetated plains of the Kuiseb delta where we sometimes see some of the animals of the delta, like springbok, ostriches or jackal, until we reached a dune with a view over the salt plains area of the delta. We proceed over these plains until we reach the beginning of the “Sea of Sand”, where it borders on the Atlantic Ocean.

Now we continue southwards, on the beach, if the tide allows us, or through the dunes, until we reach a point where no vehicle are allowed to cross. The visitors can proceed on foot southwards on the beach towards the lagoon of Sandwich Harbour or they can climb a high dune from where the will have a beautiful view over the sea, the dunes, the beach as well as the lagoon.

A light lunch will be served and out guests can relax or swim in the sea, the weather prevailing.

After lunch, we drive for a while on the high dunes on the edge of the ocean with breathtaking views over the high dunes, the beach, and the ocean. This place is really spectacular and one of the tourism highlights of Namibia. A photographers dream!

From the dunes we drive on a different route through the delta, back to Walvis Bay.
Before we reach Walvis Bay, we drive onto a dune with a spectacular view over the salt pans in the receding rays of the sun. We take a last look over the delta, tired, but satisfied after an exciting and full day in a wonderfull part of nature.
