Highlights
This 4-hour 4x4 adventure tour is specially designed for our clients arriving via passenger liner. You will be met & picked up at the Walvis Bay port where your cruise ship will be docking. Before heading out to Sandwich Harbour we first make a stop at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to admire the flamingos and occasionally a great white pelican, flow the Walvis Bay Salt Refiners with all its pink salt lacks. Now we are off to the Nambi Desert -Sandwich Harbour, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands. Wedging between the sea and dunes "if tides permit"; if tides forbid, surf the dunes up to the many convenient lookout spots. Lots of time are granted to explore the area as well as photograph opportunities. Finally, enjoy a light picnic lunch with some cold beverages with a natural desert backdrop, then hit the dunes for some more excitement before concluding your adventure to the Kuiseb River Delta, a dry riverbed where you can occasionally see springbok, oryx, or even ostrich.

5Great Day
We took this excursion while on a cruise. Our driver was waiting at the port exit. 4x4 vehicle with driver and four passengers. Driver/guide was very informative . It was a great excursion, driving among, up, over and down the dunes and along the ocean beach and shore line. A picnic with snacks and drinks; spotting jackals, antelopes, oryxes, flamingos and pelicans. Beautiful day, well worth the money.
5Don’t miss the experience
Great tour with Wild Space! Pick up at port right on time then off to see flamingos, salt mine and the dunes. The dunes are huge, amazing and driving up, down and around them was awesome. We were able to spot some wildlife along the way. Delicious lunch too. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful.
5Where Desert meets the sea
It can be very bumpy on the tracks and the sand dunes are very steep that they go down but great fun. Had a wonderful lunch in the desert. An amazing experience that is very spectacular especially the desert and the sand dunes.
3Could be better
Very good guide. Great site and fun Complaint is that you are not warned that one of the 4 passenger seats is the rear bench with 3 across in what are mostly Toyota crew cab 4x4 pickups. You’re in the front seat great. Rear window okay. Rear center. I’d rather not go. But you pay the same price for what can be a most uncomfortable 4 hours. Unfortunately this seems to be true for most of the tour operators. It should be disclosed. Shame on you Viator.
5A must for cruise passengers!
Fabulous half day tour, very suitable for cruise passengers. Hans our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend
5Spectacular day out
We were picked up by Marius our guide on time and close to the ship. He was very informative and interesting. The scenery was amazing and otherworldly. We had a beautiful meal and drinks served in a tremendous setting and my Coeliac ( gluten free ) meal was also catered for expertly. Thank you Wild Space safaris for a most memorable day that ended by been returned to the ship in plenty of time. Thank you so much and keep up the great work.❤️👍😁

About Walvis Bay
Walvis Bay, on the Atlantic coast of Namibia, is a port town where the Namib Desert meets the sea, with a lagoon full of flamingos.
Walvis Bay is Namibia's main port, set on a sheltered bay with a lagoon where large flocks of flamingos and pelicans feed, and desert dunes begin at the edge of town. Cold water from the Benguela Current brings fog and a cool, dry climate, and rain is rare. South Africa administered the town until 1994, when it became part of Namibia.
