Sandwich Harbour Tour

10/10 day spent at Sandwich harbour aka where the desert meets the ocean!
Picked up this morning at 7:30am and began our drive to Sandwich harbour with our new tour guide for the day! Along the way, we spotted some jackals being quite playful which was so beautiful! We also stopped at the pink salt lakes! Namibia manufacture and ship out to multiple countries lots of salt every year! The pink in the salt lakes is a chemical to help crystallise the liquid into salt.
We drove along the beach side and a lot of the sand was a very bright pink/ red colour. Our tour guide explained to us that the sand is not regular sand particles like a normal beach, it is 8 minerals all mixed together to make a sand consistency! Diamonds, rubies, iron, and a few more! We got a micro photo to see it easily as well! We eventually reached the iconic sandwich dune photo spots and took in our surroundings! These sand dunes are huge and right on the water line of the ocean was an imagine you’d never think to see!
We celebrated with a few cold meat snacks and champagne! Amos did a little sand boarding down some of the huge dunes and we finished the tour off with some epic 4 wheel driving up and down these huge dunes! The car was literally going on a vertical angle up towards the sky and down to the angle of our feet!
After getting dropped back of to our accomodation a bit after lunch! We headed over to our evening activity of quad biking through these epic sand dunes! This was so awesome! Going up and down on a quad, definitely and activity that amos wanted to fit in before heading home! We shared some oysters for dinner with a glass of rose (non alcoholic so we could continue driving the quads ;)
And early night in watching the sun slowly go down, and repacking our suitcases before heading home in the AM.Leggi altro
