This Sandwich Harbour and Pelican Point tour spends a full seven hours on the coast around Walvis Bay, linking the lagoon, the Pelican Point peninsula and the dune belt south of town in one small-group outing.
About This Sandwich Harbour and Pelican Point Tour
Red Dune Safaris limits the group to eight travellers. The day starts with the greater and lesser flamingos that live in the Walvis Bay lagoon, continues through the Dorob National Park and then enters the Namib-Naukluft Park, where some of the world's tallest dunes run straight into the Atlantic. A picnic lunch with drinks is served in the desert, and the landscapes make it a good choice for photographers.
