1Sandwich Harbour booking
A journey to Sandwich Harbour, an adventure by 4x4 through the Namib-Naukluft Park, where the world’s tallest dunes plunge into the Atlantic Ocean, creating an unforgettable landscape. Historically, Sandwich Harbour provided a natural refuge for fishermen and whalers, drawn by its waters teeming with life and the rare presence of fresh water so close to the sea. Over time, shifting sands slowly erased human traces, giving way to a wild, unspoiled landscape where nature reigns supreme. Today, this mythical site is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, especially its rich birdlife. Sandwich Harbour has become a sanctuary for nature lovers — a place where the vastness of the desert meets the power of the Atlantic, creating a raw and unforgettable harmony.
