Riaan showed us a great time! Swakopmund was beautiful, but the ride in the desert was phenomenal. He had lots of good information all along the way and was a joy to ride with. Highly recommend.

Wonderful tour
Wonderful experience, exceeded our expectations. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Namibia and we will definitely be back.
Our guide Riaan was outstanding, very knowledgable, easygoing and helpful. He is a wonderful ambassador for Namibia, with a positive, humorous and practical outlook.
We enjoyed touring Swakopmund and the evocative surrounding landscapes. The city is a unique mix of German and African influences, great shops and historical buildings, and located on a scenic harbour. We also saw flamingos and Guinea fowl.
Can highly recommend this tour.

Great cruise day trip
A really great way to see a lot of the area in a short time. We had a wonderful day out with Didi. He looked after everything and never rushed us.

Worth it?
Our tour guide/driver was great and did the best he could so everything I say is about the tour company, not him. The van we took should have been 4 wheel drive and it wasn't. The drive through the desert isn't on a road its just a rocky path which is VERY VERY bumpy and dusty. The ride was uncomfortable and if you are prone to motion sickness, you probably wouldn't like it. There was NO air conditioning and we had to have the windows rolled up due to the large amounts of dust and dirt and it was HOT and STUFFY in the van. Also quite unpleasant. The tour itself was fascinating and the landscape was amazing.

Thank you for your criticism, only this way we can get better. I cannot follow the booking but would presume you were on a Cruise liner as that is a cruise liner special. We use VW Syncro awd with gravel suspension and a Mitsubishi Delica awd but have aircon and are all wheel drive. We often rent in vehicles on these days to help us handle the many guests. None the less we humbly apologize as we can well imagine how hot and uncomfortable you were. We will look into those days and make sure it will not happen again. We trust you accept our apologies and thank you once again for letting us know. Uwe

Highly recommended excursion for cruise tourists
The tour was excellent.
We were picked up with a total of four SUVs directly at the harbour in Walvis Bay. From there we went first to Swakopmund with stops at the old jetty, in the city center at the old light tower (with some free time for souvenirs and a coffee) and at the old train station, which is now a hotel. Then we went into the desert. After some photo stops we were served a very delicious picnic with soft drinks and local beer (necessary to try). Afterwards we went back to Walvis Bay to the salt pans (with great views from the dunes) and the flamingos in the lagoon. Our driver Dany not only drove us safely at all times, but also told us a lot about the country and people. In short: The perfect excursion if you want to explore as much of the surroundings as possible in one day.

Alot of fun
The tour started rocky because our boat arrived later than the tour expected. Our tour guide Michael was very informative. Great tours highly remind

Thank you for your kind recommendation. The Last Cruise ship was a real challenge, immigration took very long and as it was a large ship disembarking per Deck took very long. This created very long delays. We apologize and trust you understand it was not in our hands. Thank you for your kind words, it goes a long way. Uwe

Interesting full day excursion into Namibian desert
Our driver/guide Hannes greeted us at the port entrance and after picking up our lunch went straight away into this extremely interesting tour. At first the fog around us was so thick that the dunes could not be seen but slowly it disappeared so we were given spectacular views of the desert. We were extremely lucky that a few days before rain fell and otherwise dry riverbeds were in some places full of water. We even ran into some soft mud and the 4x4 Toyota was struggling to get out of it (upon return to Walvis Bay we were definitely the only car painted in mud :) ).
The desert took advantage of the rare rain and started to bloom. At the Welwitschia site we discovered tiny little green Welwitschia sprouts coming out everywhere which appears to be a really rare sight not seen in decades.
We had several stops, first at the Goanikontes oasis, where we could use the restrooms and see some desert scorpions. We could find some ice cold Namibian beer served here at the music of German schlagers (fyi the large beer was cheaper than a capuccino, quite funny).
Next stop we had in the desert and got our finger-food lunch served with cold drinks aside. A remarkable experience!
We also made a stop in Swakopmund after exploring the city by car. Unfortunately it was Sunday and everything was closed but nevertheless we got the impression of this city based on German heritage.
I would recommend this tour to every nature lover. Except for birds the part we visited is not known to offer animal sightings but one gets to understand the ecosystem getting the water supply from fog, e.g. lichens appear in large quantities. Observing the effects of a sudden supply of water in form of the rare rain was a bonus.
Hannes is very kind and very knowledgeable, we learned a lot.
Thank you for the super interesting day, Hannes!

Good to hear. Everybody likes to hear from satisfied guests. The birds in the desert are limited and occasionally we see the Trac Trac Chad at a viewpoint. The Desert is so thankful for the little bit of rain it got. 15mm averaged out over 15 years is little and surviving has become an interesting topping to study, for both fauna and flora. Glad our guide showed you all. If you go out now again you will see how green it has become in this short time. Glad you picked up the difficult life out here. Thats what we try and show. Wishing you safe travels Thank you. Uwe

Thank you! That is what we would like to hear to build this new booking Platform. Great to hear we did a good job at Sandwichharbourtours.com on our Swakopmund Highlight Tour. This tour offers diversity in a wide area and what the desert has to show. Thank you for booking with us. Wishing safe travels.
