A Superb Full-Day Tour to Sandwich Harbour
Turnstone Tours的点评
点评：We had a full day tour of Sandwich Harbour booked through our UK tour operator, Audley’s, and we were eagerly looking forward to it. We were not to be disappointed, it was a superb day out.
On arrival at Swarkomund the evening prior, we were requested to contact via the hotel reception Turnstone to let them know we had arrived. As scheduled the next morning, indeed a few minutes early, we were called. The day was on!
We met our guide, Evert, down in reception, and it very quickly transpired he was extremely knowledgeable in the local flora, fauna, wildlife and in particular the geology. Possessing a mind hungry for science and his favourite subjects, he was keen to impart much fascinating info and it also became quickly obvious he knew how to handle a legacy Land Rover Defender. He also had a good understanding of the tide times, critical as the southern leg is driven on the beach.
The itinerary was perfectly designed for us, and we were appropriately dressed with light down jackets as the coast can be a bit chilly. Indeed, it nearly always is! First stop was the balustrade just south of Walvis Bay to get up close and personal with the flamingos, before progressing further south to experience then harshness of this special coast. Highlights included a jackal feasting on a seal cub (it’s nature folks) and a heavily pregnant elephant seal.
Just north of Sandwich Harbour, we were ‘dropped off’, with directions to climb a few dunes that fringe to ocean and experience the other-worldly scenery before descending to a point where lunch would be set up. It was indeed a lunch that will live long in the memory, on a narrow strip of pristine beach bracketed by the ocean and the dunes, with rich birdlife and the occasional seal for company.
The return drive had an element of excitement as we tracked inland with another company 4WD to experience the dune drive. Descents with gradients up to 37 degrees below the horizon certainly made the drive interesting, but with the Land Rover and Evert’s skills coping magnificently, we always felt safe. Being in company with another company 4WD allowed some terrific photographs to be taken, as well as a stop of at one the high dunes overlooking the ocean that seems to feature in all articles or material related to this part of the world. It was also a great opportunity to get close up to Springbok, always looking good through a camera lens.
By 16:30, we were back in Swarkomund. The tour had been an unforgettable day out, and exceeding our expectations is getting us to a remote yet essential part of Namibia. It was hugely interesting, safe and extremely good value too. Most definitely recommended.

翻译：我们通过英国旅行社 Audley’s 预订了桑威奇港的全日游，我们对此充满期待。我们并没有失望，这是一次非常棒的旅行。
前一天晚上抵达斯瓦科蒙德时，我们被要求通过酒店前台联系 Turnstone，告知他们我们已经到达。第二天早上，我们按计划提前几分钟就接到了电话。这一天开始了！
我们在前台遇到了我们的导游 Evert，很快我们就发现他对当地的植物群、动物群、野生动物，尤其是地质情况非常了解。他渴望了解科学和他最喜欢的科目，他热衷于传授许多有趣的信息，而且我们很快就发现他知道如何驾驶一辆经典的路虎卫士。他还非常了解潮汐时间，这至关重要，因为南部的路段是在海滩上行驶的。
行程安排得非常完美，我们穿着轻便的羽绒服，因为海岸可能有点冷。确实如此！第一站是鲸湾港南部的栏杆，可以近距离接触火烈鸟，然后再向南行驶，体验这片特殊海岸的严酷性。亮点包括一只豺狼正在享用一只海豹幼崽（这是大自然的景象）和一只怀孕的象海豹。
就在桑威奇港以北，我们被“放下”，按照指示爬上几座沙丘，这些沙丘与海洋接壤，体验超凡脱俗的风景，然后下降到午餐地点。这确实是一顿令人难忘的午餐，在一片狭长的原始海滩上，被大海和沙丘包围着，有丰富的鸟类和偶尔出现的海豹作伴。
回程的路上有点兴奋，因为我们乘坐另一辆公司的四轮驱动车向内陆行驶，体验沙丘驾驶。地平线以下坡度高达 37 度的下坡确实让驾驶变得有趣，但有了路虎和 Evert 出色的应对技巧，我们始终感到安全。与另一家公司的四轮驱动车同行，我们拍到了一些很棒的照片，还停在了俯瞰大海的高沙丘之一，这似乎出现在与这个地区有关的所有文章或材料中。这也是近距离观察跳羚的好机会，通过相机镜头看起来总是很好看。
16:30，我们回到了斯瓦科蒙德。这次旅行是难忘的一天，超出我们的预期的是，我们到达了纳米比亚一个偏远但不可或缺的地方。这非常有趣、安全，而且非常物有所值。绝对值得推荐。
