Full Day Sandwich Harbour 4x4 Excursion
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 breathtaking
sceneries and unique landscapes, just waiting to be discovered!
Our tour starts every morning at 10h00 at the Sandwich Harbour
4x4 office in Walvis Bay.
After a short break at the Walvis Bay
Lagoon to see masses of flamingoes, the drive to Sandwich
takes us to the first dunes and the Kuiseb river delta, a dry
riverbed where the odd springbok may still be seen. Beautiful
dunes have to be crossed to get to Sandwich Harbour. If
weather and tides allow, we will drive right to the Sandwich
Harbour Lagoon, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique
wetlands.
Wedged between the sea and the Namib Dunes,
potable water seeping from the underground aquifer sustains the
freshwater vegetation at the base of the dunes. If our vehicles
cannot drive all along the beach to get to Sandwich Harbour
because of the tides, you will have the time to walk 4-5 km.
Alternatively, you will get a chance to see the lagoon area from one of our many beautiful lookout spots.
When it becomes time to enjoy something to eat, your guide
simply finds a suitable place to stop and serves a light lunch
including a selection of snacks, salad and breadt with sparkling wine, oysters and drinks. We usually do this on top of a high dune overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, or on the beach. A folding table, chairs and a tablecloth come out, and we are ready to serve!
The route homewards will be done testing the power of the
vehicles on the dunes, the highlight being the 65m high Roaring
Dune, giving you exceptional viewpoints on the return to Walvis
Bay by 16h30.
