"Coast and Sandwich Harbour review"

Based at Cornerstone Guesthouse on 27 Oct 2023
"This was a mix of a tour. We weren't quite expecting the beach out to Sandwich Harbour to be so covered in dead seals and pups, it was quite macabre and unexpected.

Our tour guide was very knowledgable and seemed to be the owner and was clearly very passionate about the wildlife issues. We didn't get much history of sandwich harbour and we had to google at the top of the dunes to confirm that we were looking over it.

Not quite like the other guides, we seemed to gloss over the flamingos which were just a brief stop in a car park while tires were deflated.

An interesting day but not quite what was expected. The dune bugging to find a lunch spot was fun and the lunch lovely." Read more about this whole safari

"This is a very popular tour and you will pass a lot of other vehicles doing the same thing.

Less wildlife/birding than I was expecting. More of an 4x4 dune adventure.

Nice lunch but a bit gritty as we had a very windy day and the sand got everywhere!" Read more about this whole safari

"Great excursion and good guide.

Only negative was that Julia was served Oryx Lasagne for lunch, despite her having previously requested no red meat." Read more about this whole safari

"Brilliant tour. we were lucky to have Bruno who is an exceptional guide with amazing knowledge about the local area as well as being very well informed on a whole range of topics!

The dunes were spectacular and we enjoyed a fantastic lasagne lunch at the top of the highest dune.

Impressive driving skills too!" Read more about this whole safari

"Our guide was wonderful, and we enjoyed the day trip, but in retrospect, it was a lot of driving to get to and from Sandwich Harbor only to see more dunes after Sossusvlei. If I had to do it again, I would have instead booked a half-day boat trip and taken our teenagers to go sandboarding in the afternoon." Read more about this whole safari

Based at Hansa Hotel on 17 Jun 2023
"A super, terrific, awesome day. I expected a great trip and it exceeded expectations.

The rich birdlife at the coast and the roller coaster route back through the Namib dunes were fantastic.

Views were amazing! Such an incredible immersive experience. It helped that we had an unusually clear, blue-sky day, all day, and our guide--Rudi--was fantastic. He knows and clearly loves the Namib Desert world and everything in it.

Fun trip!" Read more about this whole safari

"This was probably the highlight of our trip. We were lucky that the weather was perfect and the waves were not an issue. Everything was perfect on the tour : where they take you ( breathtaking ) , the picnic under the dunes ( great food) , the rollercoaster on the dunes felt very safe .

Our driver/ guide was Bruno (the owner) and meeting him was the best part. He is so knowledgeable about everything. We had great conversations on the way about Southern Africa politics, Namibia history , photography, wildlife encounters ( dune lark!) , the fabulous work he is doing in his private reserve Mundulea… so much so that we want to go and visit his reserve on our next trip to Namibia ."
