Sandwich Harbour
Sandwich harbour is where dune meets sea, we have a narrow strip of Beach to travel on. Tide dependent and very beautiful. We drive up to the towering dunes to the best Dune views ever. Its stunning , its beautiful. Its Sandwich Harbour. It's a roller coaster dune ride with amazing color contrasts, absolutely UNIQUE. We go onto a small game drive , searching for what life the harsh desert has, and sadly we have to return home.
Entry to Sandwich harbour is tide dependent and the guide on the day will decide which way round the tour is driven, maybe Sandwich first and then Welwitschia.
