Heart Pounding Thrilling Adventure - Although it was a little difficult to locate the office, I was supplied with a very capable Toyota 4Runner and given clear instructions from my guide Winton as well as a 2 way radio for communication. The trip was amazing with exciting driving experiences as well as awesome views. Winton also provided a fabulous snack when we took a break. Hands down, this is the tour company to go with.

Exhilarating self drive 4x4 Sandwich Harbor - We went with Winton for a self drive 4x4 dune drive to sandwich harbor and it was our most memorable experience in Namibia. Winton went ahead in his Fortuner with a couple of other tourists who were not self-driving and we followed with a 2 way radio and him giving clear instruction and guidance. Learnt a LOT about sand/ dune driving. We were initially not confident that our little Suzuki jimny had enough power to climb the dunes but Winton was enough of a skilled driver and instructor that with his guidance we were still able to make it over the big dunes. Did not make it all the way to sandwich harbor because the tides were too high and the beach was covered in water but managed to get as close as we could driving over the dunes which frankly turned out to be the better driving experience (not counting the dune driving masterclass from Winton!)

Basically, best day of my life - This is absolutely the best way to see Sandwich Harbor. Self driving was so much fun, we jammed out to music and just had a blast. Sandwich Harbor itself is not to be missed, so if you're going anyways why not have some real adventure!? I had never driven on dunes and it's absolutely exhilarating! Our guide Winton taught us how to do it safely and was driving in front, giving advice via radio for any tricky sections. If you have no 4x4 dune experience, book this tour, you'll learn the ropes and have so much fun. And if you do have experience, book this tour, they take you to all the best spots, provide a great lunch, and make sure you don't get into any danger (would def NOT recommend going to this area without a guide). Overall a 10/10, pure awesome sauce from start to finish

Winton was a first class guide and the tour was amazing!!! - All I can say is "WOW"! We did the Sandwich Harbor 4x4 tour as Winton as our guide. We ran into a spot of trouble finding the other guests who were scheduled to go with us. They were Chinese nationals on a cruise ship in town for one day. The challenge was there were literally 3,000 people getting off the cruise ship at the same time. Winton was at the agreed meeting place with a sign. But i was easy to miss him in all the chaos of so many people disembarking at the same time. We waited until all the people were off the ship and still no customers. Instead of just shrugging his shoulders and saying,"Oh well we missed them." Winton went on the hunt to find them. We was on his cell calling other tour operators, we drove a the usually places looking for some lost looking Chinese tourists. And finally after about an hour, we found them walking on the side of the road!! Talk about finding a needle in a haystack!! It just shows how committed Winton was to honoring the people who were in his care. The tour itself once we were underway was amazing!! Winton is a great tour guide and driver. Sandwich harbor is immense, beautiful, and wild. It really takes skill and experience to drive the dunes and beach. Winton did it with ease and confidence. If you are interested in this tour, don't hesitate!!! Book it and ask for Winton to be your guide. I promise you will love it.

Tour good but cannot recommend hiring their vehicles for self drive - We opted for a self drive experience and hired a vehicle from the company. This was guided so we were between two company vehicles. Actual trip was excellent and the guides gave good instruction as required. However the vehicle we hired was very substandard and in my opinion not safe. The hand brake did not work-no handbrake cables, the ABS warning light was on. Passenger door would not open from the inside and the passenger seat belt continually jammed. The drivers side didn't. Towards the end of the morning the car stalled (automatic) and wouldn't restart! Really great in the middle of the dunes. A guide came over and tried to start it and then spotted smoke/during smell from the passenger glove box. He shouted at my partner to get out of the vehicle but she couldn't the passenger door was jammed. To be fair we have had a total refund-had to ask and was not offered but does not compensate for what might of happened. On balance I cannot recommend this company to anyone on a self drive basis when they place such a low value on their clients well being
