Self-drive in the dunes - 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.

Unreal views and the ultimate fun driving in the Dunes - 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!!!

A great day out with Gerhard We highly recommend this tour and guidW - We had an exhilarating day out to Sandwich Harbour- it was a very high spring tide with 1.6m waves - we were the only car to get to Sandwich Harbour through the back dunes as our wonderful guide, Gerhard, was very experienced. We went up and down very high dunes but saw the beautiful Sandwich Harbour. Coming back the tide had washed right in - even the back dunes were covered - once again Gerhard did an amazing job and safely got us through - with waves lapping over the car!! We tried to go to see the seal colony in the afternoon but after going through 5 “rivers “ of tide coming in we had to turn back! Thank you Gerhard for a great day out! We highly recommend this tour and guide!

Great ride in the dunes 👍 - We booked the Self Driving Tour to Sandwich Harbour. I expected to enjoy the beautiful nature and improve my 4x4 driving skills. And I can promise every guy: this is amzing!!! You get a perfect advice from the guide and follow him. You start easy step by step. After this trip you ride up and down the dunes like a rollercoaster. Beside you get a lot of information about the nature, animals and history. The food is also great. Many thanks to our guide Riaan, he maked a great job 👍👍👍 Markus & Belinda

Amazing Desert Experience with Gerhard & Ryaan - Our tour with Gerhard and Ryaan from Desert, Dunes and Dust Tours in Swakopmund was absolutely fantastic. They are excellent drivers, and their high-quality vehicles made the whole journey smooth, safe, and exciting. Watching the sunset from the Namib Desert dunes with the Atlantic Ocean in the background was truly unforgettable. The sunset dinner was beautifully arranged and delicious, adding a special touch to an already incredible experience. I highly recommend Gerhard and Ryaan to anyone visiting Swakopmund — a truly memorable adventure!
