We were lucky enough to have a private tour with CJ and he did such an amazing job in showing us around. We got the tour started earlier which allowed us to beat other guides to the best spots and even visit a spot which was CJ’s favorite and usually untouched. We also saw a lot more animals than expected, so that was a nice additive. The views themselves are even better than what you can imagine and what you’ve seen online. However, CJs knowledge and navigation was the highlight of the tour.

This tour was so much fun. Our driver Jaques was excellent. He talked a lot about the area and was very knowledgeable. We learned so much and got to see flamingos, the salt works and our guide even stopped and chatted with a fisherman and showed us the fish that he had been talking to us about. The 4 x 4 drive on the dunes was so cool. I like the way all the drivers work together to make the tour fun for everyone. The stop on the dunes for a drink and snacks was a bonus. So happy we booked this tour. You won’t be disappointed if you do it.

Very fun riding thru the dunes, they try really hard to make sure you have a good time and see as much as possible.

Zydall was a GREAT guide. Took very good care of us. Loaded with local and country information. The trip to Sandwhich Harbor was amazing. Definitely will be back to explore more of Namibia!

Wear comfortable clothes
and shoes. Sunglasses are a must . Not for the faint hearted. Food and drinks were great.
Lots of fun.

Our guide was amazing. Such a great experience
He made us do the sand surfing as much as we wanted and he did not rush us. I would definitely recommend the experience and guide

Awesome trip with a fantastic guide Theo who truly made up for several organizational hiccups along the way. There were issues with pickup, unclear locations and a lack of communication around delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
We understand that things don’t always go as planned, but the lack of communication, respect for people’s time and the absence of any apology from the company was disappointing.
Would expect much more dropping $550 for a family of 4.

Grand time touring with CJ along the coast and into the huge dunes which form the edge of the ocean. Great fun riding in comfortable 4x4 up, over, and around the massive sand piles. Drinks and snacks shared with others from our ship made for a great afternoon.

We booked the Sandwich Harbour tour as it was much cheaper than the shore excursions being offered by our cruise line and it did not disappoint. The pick up and drop off at the port was smooth and on time while the vehicles were comfortable and well maintained (they didn’t squeeze too many into the 4x4s).
Our driver/guide was CJ and he was brilliant, as were all the other drivers from the company we interacted with at the stops. They take you to cool spots and show you how to get the best pictures.

There are so many options for a Sandwich Harbour tour, but I’m so happy we chose MNG Tour.
Our guide, CJ, was amazing and truly went above and beyond. One of the best things about the tour was his timing. He knew exactly when the popular spots would get busy and managed to get us to the viewpoints before they were swamped. At both stops, we were the first ones there, and by the time we were leaving, the big tour groups were just arriving. Having those views to ourselves made a huge difference.
A few highlights:
• The Dunes: CJ’s driving through the dunes was exhilarating but we always felt completely safe.
• Sand Boarding: This was so much fun! It was an extremely hot day, and CJ made sure we knew exactly what to look out for to stay safe on the sand.
• The Picnic: We saved the picnic for the end, and it was the perfect way to finish. The food and drinks were delicious, and you can’t beat the view of the ocean meeting the desert.
• The Photos: CJ even took cool videos of us and was constantly making sure we were happy and comfortable.
CJ is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and you can tell he really cares about his customers.
It’s great value for the price, and we would pick MNG Tour again in a heartbeat. 10/10!

This tour was simply amazing! CJ our guide was on time and wonderful! We were able to experience the best of sandwich harbor.

The sand dunes and the experience of being up there is amazing.
The tour needs to be recalculated, as the driver was speeding, the snacks was below average and all our stops were made in a rush.

A really thrilling experience which allowed us to enjoy some animal sightings while driving up and down the dunes
Only negative being a rather nasty aroma at the start when passing a very large salt mine
Anthony_C, Jan 2026
First of all we were told the company would be waiting port side with a board with our name on it. That didn't happen and had to search for the company.
The vehicle uses was not comfortable for the people in the back seats. Very squashed having three people on the back seat for at least three hours drive.
Talking about the dunes. They were great and a lovely experience. However we were in convoy with thirteen other vehicles so the experience was tainted. We were given drinks and food but the volume of people all diving in for drinks and food spoiled the occasion. We saw wildlife which was amazing. The journey to and from the dunes was long a very bumpy so please take note!

Unfortunately management had very poor communication and the tour started over an hour late. After a back and forth with management we got in the 4x4s and the guides went out of their way to make up and lift the mood. The scenery, the drive, all the information they shared were excellent! Our guide stopped wherever we asked so we could take photos. What started as a not so great experience ended in the top outing for our 3 week tour!
Gavin_R, Dec 2025
This tour was fabulous and was one of the highlights of 7 weeks in Africa. Would totally recommend to others

Theo and Vernon were great guides. They are knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. I highly recommend them!
Karen_B, Nov 2025
AMAZING tour! I can’t recommend enough for this tour-100% recommended. Our tour guide/driver: Enrico is top notch driver. The staff was on time to meet us at the cruise terminal. Communication is excellent. Tour provider was giving us updates and meet us where they promised. Our tour experience exceeded our expectations. MNG and Viator are amazing tour providers.

This is a fantastic tour of Sandwich Harbor, led by our wonderful driver CJ. He was not only a very safe driver over the dunes, but he is also very knowledgeable of the ecosystem. The beauty of this place is overwhelming, and a picnic on the dunes will be remembered by us for a long time. The company kept in constant contact with us before the tour, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend.
Fedor_C, Nov 2025
Unforgettable experience: picturesque views and real 4x4 ride over the dunes along the ocean, nice lunch on the top of the dune and funny sand boarding, picturesque pink salt lakes with flamingos and beach ride viewing cormorants, seal, jackal and even dead whale on the beach, and more.
Special thanks to the driver guide Vernon for his driving skills, organizing the route with stops in right places - "reception and office", and of course serving lunch with champagne! Well done Vernon!
Resuming it is a highly recommend activity.

It’s an exciting drive through the harsh yet stunning environment of Nambia desert, more like an adventure with National Geographic. Driving up and down massive dunes with a 4x4 car with a seasoned driver . Seeing wildlife in the desert in their natural environment. Plus having a lunch on the beach with towering dunes in the background . This was an adventure that I will forget !
Lindsay_S, Sep 2025
This was a wonderful experience, thoughtfully curated, and one of a kind. It felt like we were with the King of Dune Driver! He spotted several animals with the naked eye, shared meaningful information about the landscape, and made sure we didn't simply follow the crowd! Our guide CJ was admired by the other guides obviously well respected within the community of tour guides/drivers! At no point was I worried about being trapped or stuck as we surfed the sands of the Namibian coast! Definitely a core memory.
Sherri_T, Sep 2025
The people were excellent. We had a great time seeing the dunes, beaches. Salt flats, animals, very informative without feeling like a lecture. They answered any and all questions. The tour makes sure they are back before the ship time. So if you have longer on shore you get to see more.
Kuy_T, Sep 2025
Really nice and the tour guide so friendly and professional. He always find us good spot to take photos
Gomolemo_M, Sep 2025
This was absolutely a great experience. Thanks to M.N.G tours for making the experience unforgettable. Will definitely be doing it again when we comeback and would recommend for any travellers looking to not just learn but have an exceptionally great time.
Nancy_S, May 2025
We arrived by cruise. The tour was supposed to start at 830 however we did not get off the cruise ship until 1130am. They waited and we were able to have our tour and to see everything. Awesome experience but we definitely did not enjoy all the flies at the harbour which is not in the tours control of course.
Response from Host, May 2025
Good day thank you for the review... We strive to give our client the best experience unfortunately we have no control over nature and have been experiencing east weather which is normal accompanied by see flies lucky its only once a year and not always like that.
Madeline_T, Apr 2025
They are super response ( use WhatsApp), prompt, clever to know how to avoid the endless other 4x4’s. Smart in driving ( knowing the tides, avoiding quicksand, understanding the potential sand dune problems especially on the steepest grades.) They contacted us in advance to know our preferences for lunch which was wonderful (skewered beef, meatballs, empanada type finger food as well as other local finger foods, fruit, etc.). Don’t use any one else—this family owned company is awesome.
Gillian_D, Apr 2025
A good tour - CJ was our guide, we felt very safe in his hands. Descending the steep hills was a big thrill, the views and landscape are unique and amazing. Light lunch snacks and a cold beer on the beach was really nice. Sadly the animals we’re hiding from us and we couldn’t stop by the pink lakes, but still a truly memorable experience.
