MARAX
Flamingo, Dune & Seal Tour
Morning tour, 08:00 – 12:30
Flamingos on the Walvis Bay lagoon, the pink salt pans and a Cape fur seal colony, all in one morning.
- Walvis Bay lagoon flamingos
- Pink salt lake
- Seal colony
Walvis Bay's lagoon is one of the best places in southern Africa to see flamingos: both greater and lesser flamingos feed in the shallows, often by the thousand.
From the lagoon we drive past the salt works, where the evaporation ponds turn pink, and on to the seal colony on the coast. Bring a camera and a warm layer; mornings on the coast are often cool and misty.
