    We had a fabulous day. We could not have asked for a better guide. Stephan was a wealth of knowledge, a proud Namibian and the best sand dune driver. So much fun and yet so educational! Highly recommend this tour.

Its stunning , its beautiful. Its Sandwich Harbour. It's a roller coaster dune ride with amazing color contrasts, absolutely UNIQUE. We go onto a small game drive , searching for what life the harsh desert has, and sadly we have to return home. Entry to Sandwich harbour is tide dependent and the guide on the day will decide which way round the tour is driven, maybe Sandwich first and then Welwitschia.
