• 5What a tour!

  We were thrilled with the Sandwich Harbour tour yesterday with Okangala . The afternoon tour lasted about five hours. They took us in new modified Toyota Fortunas, which were very comfortable. There were several photo stops along the way, so we got to see the pink salt ponds and wildlife like flamingos. We were lucky enough to spot a hyena on the beach. Then the fun began. We raced along the beach where the desert meets the sea, and eventually went into the dunes themselves. The highlight was the view of Sandwich Harbour from atop the windswept dunes. We were equally impressed with the "snack" stop, which honestly was more like a gourmet meal. Our drivers, Axton and Alex, put out an amazing spread of salads, meats and fruits, along with sparkling wine, beer and soft drinks. All served on real plates with tablecloths, stemware and napkin rings. Amazing to have that in the middle of the desert. Both gentlemen worked hard to create memories, and they helped us take the photos that will make our friends jealous. Axton was professional, informative, entertaining and an incredibly skilled driver. Don't hesitate to book this tour.

• 5Exceptional Tour to Sandwich Harbour with Alex

  My wife and I joined the Tour to Sandwich Harbour with Alex, and it was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. Alex was an exceptional guide – highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the unique landscape of Namibia. He explained the history, geology, and wildlife of the area in a clear and engaging way, while always making sure we felt safe and comfortable. Driving through the dunes where the desert meets the Atlantic Ocean was absolutely breathtaking. Alex’s driving skills were impressive, and his confidence and calm manner made the adventure both exciting and relaxing at the same time. He also took great care to stop at the best viewpoints and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos. This tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Namibia, and especially recommend Alex as a guide – professional, friendly, and truly excellent.

  The day we spent touring with Alex was the highlight of my visit to Namibia. His wealth of knowledge, pride in showing off the region’s natural beauty, and some impressive driving skills made for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Also have to mention the food. I knew lunch was included, but I’d pretty much expected a sandwich and maybe a bottle of beer. He delivered a feast!

  Went with Alex, a lovely guide, really informative but relaxed. The scenery is stunning and driving over the dunes is really exhilarating. The lunch provided was excellent, even offered us oysters which were beautiful. Highly recommended.

• 5Unreal, personalized tour . Perfect for couples

  Walvis Bay, Namibia. We booked a private tour for just the two of us. Catherine found Alex. on Trip Advisor .After meeting him we knew he was the one . On the way to Namibnaukluft Park we passed what I believe is where all the salt in The world is produced . We saw a mountain range of salt, flamingos, seals, beaches of red sand and even a few Jackels. Entering the park we were confronted the largest sand dunes we had ever seen. The vistas from the top of those dunes was incredible. At the end of the day we were served a gourmet lunch, as he put it, “in his home.” On a side note, upon my request, Alex turned the SUV into a dune buggy and gave us an unbelievable ride through the towering dunes. If you ever find yourself in Walvis Bay, Namibia get up with him. Just a super nice guy and a great guide

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.
