Exhilarating Dunes - Pieter van Zyl was an amazing guide. His extensive knowledge of the Dunes and the Walvis Bay in general made our trip one of the best. The exhilarating drives in the Dunes were exceptional 👌. The picnic by the Pacific Ocean was awesome (some chairs would make this experience even better 😀)
I would unreservedly recommend Pieter. He knows his stuff

Sandwich harbour - Great trip to the beautiful Sandwich Harbour with guide/driver Pieter. Thrilling driving in the sand dunes. Good lunch provided. We also saw hundreds of flamingos, other birds, oryx and springbok.

Unforgettable Experience - If I ever come back to Walvis Bay, I would do the sandwich harbour tour with Photo Ventures again. The landscape is beautiful, really beautiful, the dune drive thrilling. It was an unforgettable experience, and the knowledgeable driver/guide made it that extra exceptional. From explaining why some flamingos are pink to why the pink lakes are pink, to digging up a desert gecko… and much more. And we felt we were in safe hands all through the exhilarating dune drive, thank you!
We possibly didn’t pick the best time, or maybe day; the sun only started coming out on our way back, but that didn’t take away anything, it was well worth spending the time and the money, me and my husband found.

Great Experience plus a Web-footed Gecko - We took an afternoon trip from Walvis Bay to Sandwich Harbor and enjoyed every second. Our guide, Pieter Van Zyl, was highly informative and an excellent companion. The tour started with a visit to an estuary populated by numerous Lesser Flamingos that were habituated to people and presented first-rate up-close photo opportunities. We then drove through the large salt "farms" where there were plenty of shore birds before we entered the first of many dune fields. A highlight of the trip was Pieter finding us a beautiful Namib Web-footed Gecko, which was tiny but colorful, We then drove down the beach for miles, encountering Black-Backed Jackals, and the occasional Springbok before entering the giant dunes nearer Sandwich Harbor. The scenery on the trip was stark and spectacular. We were taken to the top of the highest dune, giving us a panoramic view, and then went (steeply!) down hill to have snacks at the Sandwich Harbor estuary. The trip back was a wild ride through the giant dunes, that was one of the best thrills we've ever been on! Overall, this tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Namibia! It's a "don't miss" experience.

Excellent 4X4 trip in Sandwhich Harbour Dunes - If you have time to do just one activity in Walvis Bay, this is the excursion you should do! Excellent drivers and loads of fun on the sand dunes in 4X4s along with spectacular views. Our guide/driver Lana Joubert was amazing and did a great job to make this excursion very special. Highly recommend it. If I had and extra day in this area, I would have done this excursion second time. Well worth spending the time and money.

An amazing experience with an amazing driver!!! - We have been with Andre picking us up in the hotel and bringing us through the experience at the Sandwich Harbor. The place and the entire route to get there is simply astonishing, but getting there with an expert guide, that explains to you everything you see and enjoys himself the entire experience, is priceless. More than that, we felt every time in the wise and expert hands driving us up and down the dunes… thank you Andre for making this day an unforgettable experience that will stays in our memories forever!

Thanks photo Ventures for the great experience.

Sandwich Harbour - We were welcomed by our guide Lana and were treated from the start. She has loads of knowledge and excellent experience in the dunes. Would recommend her as a guide. The tour it self was something out of this world from the thrills of the dunes to the food. Photo ventures namibia is highl recommended.
