Day 1: Swakopund

Day 2: Sandwich Harbour
Brigadoon Boutique Guesthouse
- Today we make a trip to the scenic Sandwich Harbour
- We do a short break at the Walvis Bay Lagoon to see masses of flamingos and other coastal birds that reside in and around the lagoon at different times of the year
- From here, the drive initially takes us to the Kuiseb river delta, a dry riverbed where the odd springbok, oryx or jackal may be spotted. As this area forms part of our Kuiseb Delta Concession, we are the only activity operator allowed to access this area. If weather and tides allow, we will drive right to the Sandwich Harbour Lagoon along the beach, one of Southern Africa’s richest and unique wetlands and one of five RAMSAR sites (Ramsar site no. 743) in Namibia
- If our vehicles cannot drive all along the beach to get to Sandwich Harbour because of high tide, you will get a chance to see the lagoon area from one of our many beautiful lookout spots and will have the time to walk and explore. We have lots of time to stop along the way for photography
- When it becomes time to enjoy something to eat, your guide simply finds a suitable place to stop and serves a selection of oysters and snacks with sparkling wine, beers and cooldrinks. We usually do this on top of a high dune overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, between the dunes or on the beach
- Our excursion will take us past the area’s typical fauna and flora. Animals which have developed ways to adapt to the desert include the black-backed jackal, fog-basking beetle, dancing spider (‘white lady of the Namib’), golden mole, shovel-snouted lizard, palmato gecko, springbok, oryx, brown hyena and ostrich
- The route homewards takes us over spectacularly high dunes and guests will experience some exhilarating 4x4 driving, before arriving back on the beach for an easy cruise home
- Overnight: Brigadoon Boutique Guesthouse
Brigadoon Boutique Guesthouse, located in the heart of the coastal town of Swakopmund at the Atlantic Ocean, is a quiet and peaceful haven with each of the 7 comfortable guest rooms having access to a landscaped garden in its heart.
