"We really feel we had a true adventure on this day trip. We saw many varieties of birds, which Ernest helped us identify. There were varied landscapes, including the Kuseib Deltas and Sandwich Harbour. The scenery was breathtaking. Ernest navigated the dunes with great skill, [fortunately}, and the tide let us in to the Sandwich Harbour area itself. Again, Ernest's knowledge of the flora and fauna was superb Truly a most worthwhile experience." Read more about this whole safari

"Great trip to Sandwich Harbour with a superb guide (Ernest). The dunes, the birdlife were mesmerizing. Lunch in the desert was
a cherry on the top. Ernest"s handling of the Land Rover was exceptional." Read more about this whole safari

"Ernst made our trip a wonderful experience - he is not only an extremely skillful driver of his very comfortable land rover, but also a great observer of nature, being extremely knowledgeable and able to spot and explain the tiniest of the many interesting things encountered on the visit. He provided a simple but absolutely delicious and well presented lunch in the middle of nowhere." Read more about this whole safari

"We enjoyed this trip immensely. Ernst the guide was exceptional as a guide and host - he made the day. We couldn't have had a better guide and he provided a very enjoyable lunch and interesting background information on Namibia as a whole. He went out of his way to ensure we saw Snadwich Bay, digging away sand so we could get through whereas some other guides decided it was too much like hard work and returned home.

We highly recommend the Turnstone tour and particularly Ernst." Read more about this whole safari

"This was an excellent trip, and we learned a lot. To be recommended! Our guide was Ernst and he was exceptionally good - articulate, faultless driving around the dunes, overall knowledge of the environment and road building on the shoreline." Read more about this whole safari

"Lovely tour to Sandwich Bay along the skeleton coast. Stunning scenery and birdlife seen plus a seal, three dolphins, jackals and more.

Lunch on the dunes and the dune rides were great fun." Read more about this whole safari

"We had a wonderful day out with Ernst. who was very knowledgable about the history of the area and all the wildlife that exists out on the dunes! He did everything, including driving the jeep in bare feet!

Lovely lunch of lasagne, salad and apple pie , in a shady sand dune!

We were slightly disappointed because we had pre-booked the trip as a bird-watching day, and we did very little bird-watching except right at the very end on our way back to Cornerstone. However, we had a wonderful day out." Read more about this whole safari

"Our Sandwich Harbour excursion with Turnstone Tours was one of the highlights of our trip. What an incredible experience! We enjoyed the undivided attention of owner Bruno and his wonderful son Kai (who was along to learn the family business). The scenery was spectacular (massive dunes, stunning coastline), but what really made the trip was talking to and learning from these two. Even changing a flat tire became a fund adventure. We would highly recommend this excursion to others." Read more about this whole safari
