Unforgettable Experience Where the Dunes Meet the Ocean – Sandwich Bay, Namibia We had an incredible adventure at Sandwich Bay, where the towering desert dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean in a truly breathtaking setting. Our guide picked us up directly from the hotel in a 4x4 Jeep and took us on an exciting ride up and down the dunes – a perfect mix of adrenaline and stunning views. We even had the chance to try sandboarding, which was so much fun! Along the way, we spotted pelicans, flamingos, an antelope, and – with a bit of luck – even a coyote, which made the day even more memorable. We passed by some salt flats, adding a unique touch to the scenery, and enjoyed a simple picnic-style lunch in the dunes, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the desert. A fantastic experience that we’ll never forget – highly recommended if you’re visiting Namibia! 4 girls from Italy

Living Dunes Experience was an unforgettable experience! We explored the breathtaking landscape while learning about its unique geology and the fascinating creatures that call it home. Our guide, Purreu-Jacques (PJ) Breitenbach, was incredibly knowledgeable, making the tour educational and exciting. seeing live dessert animals in their natyral habitat was a real highlight, highly recommended for nature lovers and curious explorers.
