Thank you Riaan, our excellent guide
Thank you for choosing us 😊. Warm regards Uwe
Excellent tour, our guide was Víctor, a very kind person who looked after us the whole time, drove with expertise, a true professional. The dunes are wonderful; we had a wonderful time.
Thank you for choosing us for your Sandwich Harbour tour! We're delighted you had a fantastic time exploring one of Namibia's most remarkable landscapes. Safe travels, and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Uwe
Driving between the dunes and the ocean to reach Sandwich Harbour is absolutely stunning, and the way back over the dunes is just as thrilling — pure adrenaline! Rian is a fantastic guide: fun, knowledgeable, and just the right amount of crazy behind the wheel, which made the whole trip even better. A true character and a great guy. I'd do it again without hesitation. Highly recommended!

We had the most amazing experience with our self-drive tour! Riaan gave a 120% and was the best guide possible!!! He showed us so many things and made our experience thrilling and safe. We will definitively repeat the experience if we have the chance.

We had a wonderful day with our guide Andrew. He was very friendly, explained a lot, took us to wonderful spots and made this day unforgettable for us!
Thank you for the 5-star feedback. Glad you had an unforgettable experience with us - your satisfaction is our priority 😊. Thanks, and safe travels Uwe
The trip to Sandwich Harbour is only possible with a guide. So if you want to go there, you need a driver/guide. For us, it was Winton, and he did a great job - we had a lot of fun!
Thank you for the positive feedback! we're glad you had a lot of fun. Thanks Uwe
We did the halfday tour to Sandwich Harbor and it was just a perfect day! Thanks so much to Victor for safely driving us through the dunes, showing us the most wonderful places there and explaining us about all the local nature and animals. We will never forget this day!
What wonderful feedback! thank you for choosing Desert, Dunes & Dust Tours, we're glad you had such a wonderful experience. Warm regards Uwe
We had a fantastic tour; our driver Leclue told us a lot about the history and surroundings, was very child-friendly (we had our 20-month-old daughter with us), and drove very safely. The tour was perfect, and we would recommend it to everyone. Many heartfelt thanks to Leclue; we had a great time!!
Wonderful to hear that you and your baby had fun, tour is indeed child friendly 😍😊. Thank you for joining us! Kind regards Uwe
We booked the tour and a rental car to drive ourselves. The car was very good, strong engine, V6 petrol. The ride in the dunes was demanding, some experience advantageous. Winton as a guide (via radio) gave good instructions at the right time and always had us in mind. We felt in very good hands. Great lunch in the dunes overlooking the sea. Exceeded expectations and a highlight on our Namibia trip.
Thank you for your excellent review. We truly value your feedback and support we're glad the car and guide were up to your standard - your satisfaction is our greatest reward. Thanks Uwe
We did book a self driving tour to sandwich harbour and as our rental car company would not allow us to use our car we rented a car from Desert Dunes and Dust Tours and what should i say. It was a 10 stars experience and the views you are going to see is absolutely insane. Nothing what a picture could ever really capture. Your are standing on the top of a dune with your 4x4 which you drove yourself to one of the most beautiful places on earth, did see some whales along the way and had endless fun driving on the beach and in the dunes. For everyone who is worried about the self drive, do it!!! Our Guide Stephan has been phenomenal in giving us great advice for driving but also his knowledge about the area and wildlife is absolutely amazing and he has a fun personality. The tour is literally one of the best things i have ever made. Thanks a lot!!!
Your feedback means a lot to us. We're happy you created wonderful memories with us - seeing whales might have been a highlight 🤗😎. Thanks Uwe
