This Sandwich Harbour tour with lunch, run by Okangala Tours and Safaris, gives time to explore, photograph and ask questions rather than simply driving to the viewpoint and back.
About This Sandwich Harbour Tour with Lunch
The route stops at the Walvis Bay lagoon, recognised as an internationally important bird area, where flamingos, pelicans, plovers and terns gather. It then crosses the salt pans and follows the beach route into the Namib-Naukluft Park to the dunes above the ocean. Possible sightings along the way include springbok, ostrich, black-backed jackal and small desert creatures such as the Palmato gecko and the fog-basking beetle. Lunch is included.
