Located a few dozen kilometres south of Walvis Bay, Sandwich Harbour lagoon, once a fishing port, is a unique spot where dunes meet the ocean. You can explore it on foot or, for a more spectacular experience, by 4x4, across the towering dunes overlooking the beach. This off-road adventure offers unique sensations and breathtaking views over the ocean and lagoon.

The bay is also a birdwatcher's paradise, where thousands of birds gather: pelicans, flamingos, cormorants and many others. During the excursion, you'll cross the dune belt, skirt the coastal lagoon and reach “Bird Rock”, before passing by the site of the old port. Along the way, it's not uncommon to spot springbok, ostriches, jackals and hyenas, adding a wild dimension to this already spectacular experience.

Starting from Fish River Lodge, explore the largest canyon in Africa (second largest in the world), learning about its 500-million-year-old geography, crossing paths with mountain zebras and kudus, or taking a dip in the natural pools of the Fish River, before returning to admire the sunset from the canyon's rim.

Wolwedans Desert Sleepout

Some of the clearest skies in the world

Sleeping under the stars of the Namib Desert means entering an absolute silence where the sky seems to stretch out infinitely, heightening every sensation and every breath. At Wolwedans, the sleepout goes well beyond the idea of simply spending a night under the open sky: it is a rare, immersive and almost unreal experience, at the heart of one of the oldest deserts on Earth.
