​

Sandwich Harbour is 65km south of Walvis Bay with a bay in the north

and a lagoon at the southern end.   It is a natural bay

which is part of the Namib Naukluft Park. 

​​​

It might have been named after an English whaling ship, the Sandwich,

which worked during the 1780's, or the name may be a corruption of

the German word "sandfische", a species of shark found in the area. 

Formerly the bay was a moderately sized commercial port based

around whaling and small-scale fishing, but it is now best known

for its birdlife in the lagoon south of the bay.

​

Sandwich also hosted a beef cannery, other than the normal activities.  

​​​​

Oryx, Black Backed Jackal, Springbok, Ostrich, Brown Hyena often seen.  ​​​

We visit view points and take you along the beach where birds,

seals and other desert adopted animals live.  

​​

Special dietary requirements are arranged on booking too!
