PV01: Topnaar Tours
The Topnaar drive is a 2-3 hour scenic and educational drive. Depart from the
Photo Ventures office and our first stop is the Walvis Bay Lagoon. A must for
the keen birder. More than a hundred bird species and the biggest population
of flamingos in Southern Africa. Our next stop is the Walvis Bay Salt works,
colors, colors, colors…
This
also is our first introduction to dune driving, an unforgettable experience of
which you would still talk about for the rest of your holiday. The package
offered is scenery, adventure, traditional people wildlife and a million and
one photo opportunities.
And last but not least, the Topnaar tribe, a semi nomadic tribe, offshoot of
the Nama tribe, part of the Khoisan genetic group. There are 2 Topnaar groups,
the Southern ‡Aonin group and the Northern !Gomén group. The !Gomén Topnaars
settled close to Sesfontein and the ‡Aonin Topnaars at the mouth of the Kuiseb
River. They lived a life that relied on herding goats, but also adapted to the
dry coastal desert environment of the Namib. The relatively rich plant life of
the Kuiseb River valley provided them with additional sources of food,
particularly the well-known !nara melon.
Tour code PV02: Topnaar Quadbike Tour
The Topnaar route is a 2 hour scenic and educational drive. We depart from the
office which would give you the chance to get used to the quads
before we get to the dunes. It would take approximately 3-4 minutes to reach
the dunes. Once we reach the dunes, a whole new world opens up. Beautiful
landscapes, magical colours and the unbelievable life of animals and people
and there survival in the desert.
This tour would offer you an unforgettable experience of which you would still

scorpions, snakes and many more.
Tour code PV03: Sandwich
Harbour
A 50km scenic 4×4 drive takes you to one of the most photogenic places in
Namibia. A place with red beaches and waves running up dunes depending on the
tide. On windy days, the sand plays patterns on the dunes and during late
afternoons the shadows change it to one of the seven natural wonders on earth.
Sandwich Harbour is a natural bay that has awed and inspired many a visitor
and traveler. With its rolling dunes falling into the ocean and the large
lagoon, this unspoiled bay is a haven for birds and marine life, while
creating the most amazing feeling of grandeur and beauty in such a stark
environment.
The bay also has a very interesting history when Namibia was still known as
South West Africa and a German Colony, but that we will share with you when
you join us on visit to Sandwhich Harbour.
Enjoy lunch with a glass of wine or a ice cold beer on top of a dune
overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The secret is Peace, tranquility and
timelessness.
What to see on the route:
We depart from the Photo Ventures office at 8-30 and our first stop is the
Walvis Bay Lagoon, a Ramstar site with a abundance of birdlife. Known for its
big population of Flamingoes. Your guide will point out the different birds.
From there we depart to the top of a dune overlooking the salt mine… colours,
colours and more colours!!! After our stop we drive through the Kuiseb delta,a
dry river covered with hardy vegetated desert vegetation changing to open salt
pans until we reach the Namib Naukluft Park Border.
Our first interdiction to the Atlantic Ocean. From here we stick to the beach
and stop at all interesting sightings, fisherman, birds, shells, seals and
many more.
As we continue driving the dunes move closer to the ocean until a experience
of a lifetime, DUNE DRIVING. Up to 45m dunes.
Other sights:
Ample Bird life and if lucky the Dunelark
Black-backed Jackal
Springbuck
Ostrich
And a variety of desert adapted plants.
