Sandwich Harbour is part of the Namib Naukluft Park, a small lagoon in the south-west of Walvis Bay, Dune and Sea meet here to form this landmark attraction.
Our full-day tour starts at 10h00 and this is an ultimate tour combination of Pelican Point seal colony and Sandwich Harbour. We meet at our office at the Walvis Bay Waterfront, 1st Floor, BoardWalk building.
Our first stop will be at the Walvis Bay Lagoon. We then continue to the large salt evaporation ponds. Before heading to the Pelican Point Peninsula to the seal colony, we drive along the narrow stretch of sand that separates the bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Pass by a weathered shipwreck that tells the story of a lost fight against the sea, and catch sight of flamingos, pelicans, terns, and a colony of Cape Fur seals.
From the seal colony, we drive along the beach and take a detour through the river bed into the Kuiseb Delta, a dry riverbed full of history of the Topnaar people, whose ancestors have been living in the delta for centuries. Animals such as springbok come to seek food and water in the Kuiseb Delta.
