Detailed itinerary

1

Your experience begins with a warm welcome at our office at the Walvis Bay Waterfront, right next to Dockside Restaurant, where you’ll be introduced to your friendly guide before setting off on a scenic coastal journey. From there, you’ll head to the breathtaking Walvis Bay Lagoon, one of Africa’s most important bird sanctuaries and a true photographer’s dream, where hundreds — sometimes thousands — of flamingos feed and glide across the shallow waters, creating soft pink reflections against bright blue skies. As you enjoy the fresh ocean breeze and peaceful surroundings, your guide will share insights about the lagoon’s unique ecosystem while you spot other birdlife such as pelicans, seagulls, and occasionally seals nearby. The journey continues to the striking salt pans and famous Pink Lake, where mineral-rich waters form vivid shades of pink and white, offering surreal scenery and incredible photo opportunities before the adventure moves deeper toward the dunes.

After visiting the striking Walvis Bay Salt Works Pink Lake, the adventure continues as you journey south toward the breathtaking dunes of Sandwich Harbour, where the Namib Desert dramatically meets the Atlantic Ocean. The drive becomes an exhilarating 4x4 experience as your guide navigates rolling sand dunes and coastal tracks, revealing endless golden landscapes, sweeping ocean views, and ever-changing scenery at every turn. Along the way, you may spot coastal birds, seals resting near the shoreline, and other desert-adapted wildlife while stopping at scenic viewpoints for unforgettable photos. Deep within the dunes, a relaxed sit-down lunch is beautifully set up in a remote, peaceful spot, allowing you to enjoy your meal surrounded by towering sands, fresh sea air, and one of Namibia’s most spectacular natural backdrops — a perfect blend of adventure, scenery, wildlife, and comfort.

After enjoying your peaceful picnic deep within the dunes of Sandwich Harbour, the journey continues with a breathtaking scenic drive back along the coastline toward Walvis Bay, where every stretch of sand and sea feels like a postcard come to life. Your guide expertly navigates the rolling dunes and coastal tracks, offering one last dose of thrilling dune driving while the afternoon light casts golden tones across the desert landscape. Along the way, you may spot seals resting near the shore, coastal birds soaring above the lagoons, and sweeping views where towering dunes flow directly into the Atlantic Ocean, with plenty of opportunities for final photos. The relaxed return drive beautifully wraps up the adventure, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Namibia’s dramatic desert-meets-ocean scenery.
