Description

Enjoy the most spectacular desert sceneries and capture the interplay between light and shadows in the dunes, as well as the sun setting into the Atlantic ocean at Sandwich Harbour. Departing from the Walvis Waterfront, the drive initially takes us through the Kuiseb river delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok, oryx or jackal may be spotted. 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. Sandwich Harbour boasts two distinct wetlands and associated mudflats. Wedged between the sea and the Namib Dunes, it is one of Namibia's most important coastal wetlands, supporting eight endangered species among the large numbers of wading birds. If our vehicles cannot drive all along the beach to get to Sandwich Harbour because of high tide, you will get a chance to see the lagoon area from one of our many beautiful lookout spots and will have the time to walk and explore. We have lots of time to stop along the way for photography. When the sun has set and the light has diminished, we find a suitable place to stop and serve a selection of oysters and snacks with sparkling wine, beers and cooldrinks. We usually do this on top of a high dune, between the dunes or on the beach. We will be returning at around 20h00.
