Welwitschia and Sandwich Harbour Tour

This Full day tour takes you from Walvis Bay to the Namib Desert gravel plains, where little Lichen fields are and on to the 400 million year old Moonlandscape....you feel as if you are on the Moon.... then on to the view the 1000 year Old Welwitschia Mirabilis plant that grows in this area. This plant has only 2 leaves and the leaves grow out of the stem, ravaged by wind the leaves tear... something truly unique

we stop at this water oasis of great importance to Swakopmund and see how history evolved

The 1500 year Welwitschia plants only grow on the Welwitschia plains. we view this unique and magnificent plant and learn how its survives in these harsh conditions

The tour returns to Walvis Bay past Dune 7 to where the Flamingos and 500 000 other waders are in the Walvis Bay Lagune. we drive past the pink salt lakes and onto the beach and down to the towering dunes of Walvis bay. we may see seals and Jackals amongst the many seals.

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.
