Description
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.

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.
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.
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.
Fabulous half day tour, very suitable for cruise passengers. Hans our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommend
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.❤️👍😁
The tour was not well organized. The waiting time for departure was too long. The vehicle was not big enough for 4 guests. It was not comfortable seating in the vehicle when moving around.
Hi there Zhongpu, Thank you very much for your review! It was our absolute pleasure to host you for the day. Just top give our side of the story as well.. An email was sent to you 14 days prior to your arrival in Walvis Bay, stating to please be ready by 12H00 for 12H15 departure as you have booked the 12H00 time slot. If you leave the passenger liner before 11H45 you have to wait for my guides. You have answered on the email stating you understand and are happy with the arrangements set out and will be ready outside the passenger liner by 12H00. At 11H20 we got a call from another company saying you are waiting for us for pick up. My guides were in the port at 11H45 for pick up and was still waiting for all the other clients to get of the passenger liner, unfortunately it's not our fault if clients are not on time as my guides have to simply wait for all the clients to arrive. Regarding the vehicles we always use the same vehicles for our excursion which is suitable for 4x4 driving terrains, the vehicle you pointed out and wanted was a minibus that is not 4x4 and not factory build for the type of tours we offer. All other tour companies offering the Sandwich Harbour excursion use the same vehicle we use. Hilux, Fortuner, Land Cruisers.
Gerhard was our tour guide and is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire area, its wildlife, plant life, sea life and all round knowledge about the dunes. Will stop for you to take pictures and answers just about any question thrown at him. A fun guy to have as your tour guide. At the food stop the dishes were beautifully displayed and ever so delicious. The entire experience was incredible. Highly recommend.
Berthie our driver guide made us live a very nice experience. He has perfect control of his 4x4 vehicle. We felt safe and secure. Unforgettable landscapes. Picnic quality and punctuality.
Great experience. Many beautiful impressions and views. Real adventure. Hans was a good tour guide and driver. Food and drinks were very good in the location.
Sand dunes, flamingos, Cormorants, salt reclamation and gorgeous views where sea and sand meet. These are the things you can expect on this tour. Plus, we had a wonderful guide named Gerhardus. Lunch with a local beer, soda or some wine was the top to an enjoyable 4 hour tour.
