Sandwich Harbour, part of the Namib Naukluft Park, is a place many have heard of but very few have ever visited. Giant sand dunes run straight into the ocean, creating breath taking sceneries and unique landscapes, just waiting to be discovered!

- Kuiseb River - After a short break at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to see masses of flamingos, the drive initially takes us to the Kuiseb river delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok may still be seen. As this area forms part of our Kuiseb Delta Concession, we are the only activity operator allowed to access this area. If weather and tides allow, we will drive right to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon along the beach, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands and one of five RAMSAR sites (Ramsar site no. 743) in Namibia.

Amazing off roading experience would love to do it again. - It was amazing and Elmar was a superb host. We were treated so well and he went out of his way to seek out the wildlife and give us a really good trip. The meal they prepared was delicious. Best experience for a long time!

This trip was absolutely fantastic. - This trip was just absolutely fantastic. Our guide Marshal was so knowledgeable about his country and the wildlife. We saw Gecko up close, Cormorants, Seals, and Jackals. The Namib Desert 4x4 trip was fabulous and the views from the top of high dunes breathtaking. Lunch was so good too in the most beautiful setting on the beach you can imagine. Can you tell I enjoyed it !

Amazing tour across beautiful country - This was a great experience getting to see the beautiful landscapes and thrilling driving along the beach and over the dunes. Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. The quality of the lunch provided was superb especially the local oysters. We got to see quite a bit of wildlife including the flamingos, a jackal and springbok. As there were just 3 of us we got our own 4x4 and it felt a lot more customised than the big groups we saw in other convoys also visiting the area.
Please note: we passed a number of dead and dying seals along the way which might be upsetting to some.

Smiling from ear to ear whilst driving from far to near - Sam was one of the best and most fun loving guides I have had the pleasure of driving with. He gave ample time for us to take photos, made jokes, was knowledgable about the animals, dunes, sea, tide and swells.
We were spoilt beyond measure.
He is a super fantastic guide and his driving capabilities kept me smiling the whole way- my cheeks are still sensitive. If you appreciate nature and want to experience the dunes, I recommend going with Sandwich Harbour 4x4

So worth it!! - We had a great day with Elmar - such a kind and experienced guide, and the views of the dunes next to the water was amazing. I'm so glad that we did this excursion as a tour, because I would not have felt comfortable driving on the dunes and in the sand. A bit expensive, but this tour was definitely worth it! We also had a lovely lunch too.

The best way to experience Sandwich Harbour! - What a great afternoon! The dunes of Sandwich Harbour are amazing and driving across them in a 4x4 is one of the most spectacular ways to experience them. We booked directly with Nico Robberts, on a personal recommendation, and he was an absolutely brilliant guide and great fun. The luxurious desert picnic Nico laid on was a highlight!

Must do in Walvis Bay - Wasn't sure what to expect and perhaps that helped. It was defintely one of the highlights of our trip. Staff were friendly and funny, but also skilled and safe. Driving thru flooding tides, up/down those crazy sand dunes require skills and it was exhilirating afternoon. You end up seeing the scenary from surreal spots! Yet sometimes you feel like James Bond in action! To top it off the champagne snack at the end (with fresh oysters) capped off an unforgettable afternoon.

Friendly staff - This was a great tour. We were 3 to a truck so everybody had a window. Our driver was super friendly and helpful. You drive to the dunes - the first few stops haveInterest but now the final stop is the best - so don’t waste your good things early in the day.

Worst experience! /GOOGLE TRANSLATION - Worst experience! - Sandwich and Pelican Point should have been the best moments of our stay on the Namib coast. First of all, the guide who was leading the group, I think her name was Leonne, was very, very rude to another guide, the white-haired senior guide. Then we went to Sandwich. Our guide was great, but the head of the guides got stuck. Very unprofessional. Then we went to the Pelican Peninsula. One of the other guides, Hansen, ended up in a river, with the car starting to float in the water. It's very dangerous! The members of our group could have drowned! They got wet in the car! That's not acceptable. The head of the guides panicked and did not know how to handle the situation. The elderly driver pulled out the car and saved the lives of our friends, and even the car itself. This company does not have the right guides to treat their guests well and safely. I'm not going to contact this company again.
