This unforgettable tour to Sandwich Harbour is an absolute must-do on any Namibian holiday, where the towering dunes of the Namib Desert meet the wild Atlantic Ocean in one of Africa’s most surreal and iconic landscapes.

Your Day Begins in Swakopmund

We depart from the charming coastal town of Swakopmund, where German colonial architecture and rich cultural history blend with the ocean air. As we drive toward Walvis Bay, your guide will highlight notable buildings and stories from the town’s past — a beautiful start to a day of discovery.

Wetlands, Wildlife & Flamingos

Our first stop is the famous Bird Island (Guano Island), followed by a drive along the Walvis Bay Lagoon — a Ramsar-acclaimed wetland of international importance. Here, we explore the pink salt lakes and witness thousands of flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, and more than 50 species of waders and migratory birds. It's a paradise for birders and nature photographers alike.

Desert Wildlife & Nara Valley

As we leave the coastline and enter the dunes, we pass through the!Nara Valley — a surprising burst of desert greenery where Oryx, Springbok, and Ostrich roam freely. This stretch of the tour feels like a desert game drive, offering incredible photography moments.

Where the Dunes Meet the Sea

Prepare for a heart-pounding adventure across the towering golden dunes sculpted by wind and time. This thrilling dune-driving experience winds past forgotten homes of bygone eras, then leads you to the unreal beauty of Sandwich Harbour, where ocean, dunes, and silence converge.

We stop at a peaceful, scenic location to enjoy a light lunch with local beverages, soaking in the quiet majesty of this rare desert-meets-ocean ecosystem.

For the Curious and the Creative

Whether you're a photographer, birdwatcher, geologist, or simply in awe of nature, this tour delivers a sense of freedom and wonder like no other. Expect dramatic contrasts, vivid colours, and the kind of silence that makes you pause in awe.

Return Through the Dunes

After lunch, we continue our exhilarating ride through salt pans and over towering slip faces before tracing our tracks back along the beach, completing an extraordinary day of exploration.
