Wir haben eine sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour zu den Dünen, der Mondlandschaft und den Welwitschias unternommen. Unser grosses Glück war, dass wir Uwe als Guide hatten. Er kennt sich super aus, konnte uns viele interessante Informationen über Land und Leute, sowie Flora und Fauna geben. Sandwich harbour und die hohen Dünen, die er sicher befahren konnte, waren unser Highlight. Neben der wunderschönen Natur konnten wir sogar einige Tiere sehen (viele Flamingos und andere Vögel, Oryxe, Springböcke, Schakal) Aber auch die Mondlandschaft und die Welwitschias waren einmalig. Danke Uwe, für diesen schönen Tag!

Uwe was the guide for the day and he was an excellent guide! He was really knowledgable not only in history, but in geography, chemistry and biology related to the 2 places. He was really experienced, especially about the tides and thus we managed to visit the dunes via a route where the tide is low. By the afternoon, the fog appeared and the tides went up. Uwe was also an excellent driver too as he managed to maneuver around the dunes which seemed harmless but was actually dangerous. Sandwich Harbor was more of a desert safari where we went round looking for animals living in the desert. We managed to see a seal, springboks, 2 jackals, many flamingos, eagles, seagulls and pelicans. I also saw footprints of hyenas, jackals and ostriches. There was also a nara fruit plant present among the nara bushes. The dunes was stunning as it was my first time seeing dunes and the sea meeting together. We then head off to the Welwitschia plains where I looked forward to the Welwitschia plant. Currently there lies a 1500 one which left me in awe. The mountain scenery was beautiful too. We had great lunch and I enjoyed the pastries and the eggs. He also talked about some history and the plant life there e.g. the lichens and the algae. I do hope that more tree planting efforts would be done in the desert so that more wildlife can fluorish. All in all, it was an excellent weekend tour where I took a break from volunteering at Na'an Kuse. Now I can returned recharged and full of energy. If I could, I would give this 7 out of 5 stars. Thanks Uwe!

Uwe is your driver and guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and comes with a charming character, He makes the Sandwich harbour tour a a friendly and cosy experience. I was with a family of 5, including a 4 year old child on a full day tour. Our children actually felt as if grandpa was taking them on a desert adventure. If planning for a full day tour, make sure low tide is at around mid day, it will allow you drive on the beach on your way to and back from Sandwich bay
This tour in Swakopmund is organized by Desert Dunes Dust Tours
