Tour Overview
The Dune Drive That Stays With You Forever
Experience one of the most exhilarating and unforgettable 4×4 off-road tours available in Namibia. Our renowned Scenic Sandwich Harbour Dune Drive commences in Walvis Bay, weaving through captivating landscapes. Along the way, we share fascinating insights into the Ramsar wetlands of the Walvis Bay Lagoon and the Pink Salt Lakes of the expansive Saltworks.
Encounter 54 bird species, including various endemic and Palearctic migratory birds, with their numbers reaching up to 3,000,000 during summer. Watch for Flamingos, Pelicans, Turnstone, Avocets, Sandpipers, Plovers, Terns, and Gulls. The sandy route leads to awe-inspiring dune views where the dunes meet the sea.
Ascend towering wind-sculpted dunes for a heart-stopping, swooping roller coaster ride to the unexpected, lush wetland scenery of Sandwich Harbour at your feet. Find a secluded spot to absorb the tranquillity and vastness of the dunes while enjoying snacks and refreshments. We unveil the little-known history and geology of Sandwich Harbour — tales of skeletons, jackals, springbuck, and the diverse life the desert holds.
