Frequently Asked Questions
Inside the commercial port, among trawlers and gantries. You leave it by shuttle, since walking there is restricted; the town centre begins less than two kilometres away.
The lagoon and its thousands of flamingos, one of southern Africa's richest wetlands. The Esplanade runs alongside it for several kilometres, a flat walk facing the shallow water.
Lesser and greater flamingos, pelicans and crowds of waders from the northern hemisphere. The wetland, protected under the Ramsar convention, hosts a striking share of southern Africa's flamingos depending on the season.
A two- to three-hour catamaran excursion to the sand spit that closes the bay. Fur seals sometimes haul themselves right onto the deck, dolphins play at the bow and pelicans glide at railing height.
One of the region's highest dune crests, about ten kilometres from town. You climb it on calf power for a panorama over the ocean of dunes rolling inland.
A site south of Walvis Bay where walls of sand plunge straight into the Atlantic, one of Namibia's most photographed landscapes. Access is by 4x4 and depends on tides: local drivers read the beach like a nautical chart.
Yes, half an hour's drive north. The old seaside resort of the German colony lines up half-timbered facades, turrets and strudel cafés between sea and desert. The round trip combines easily with Dune 7.
Because of tiny organisms working in the salt-saturated water. The pans add their raspberry tones to the scene, south of the lagoon.
No. Administered separately for a long time, it only joined Namibia in 1994, four years after the country's independence.
A great deal: a desert, a cold sea teeming with life and a piece of Bavaria stranded under the African sun. Few calls offer such variety within so few kilometres.
