With tourist’s favorites such as Flamingo, Pelican, avocet, turnstone and a huge variety of waders can easily be seen.

Leaving Walvis Bay behind, we head for the lower reaches of the Kuiseb Delta. This unique ecosystem is dotted with archeological sites, 450 years old animal tracks, windblown graves, and magnificent dunes. There is evidence of ancient and recent gathering, harvesting, and trading by the Topnaar, an indigenous Namibian community descended from the,!Khoi group which relies on the naturally occurring!Nara fruit for survival
Your guide will find a suitable place depend on the weather to serves a light lunch, Walvis Bay oysters, champagne, and soft drinks.
On our way back, your guide will keep sharing his knowledge on Flora and Fauna, the area with the most highlight is the roaring dune which gives you an exceptional view of the landscape and sandboard to raise our adrenaline. Then continue to the large salt evaporation ponds and the Walvis Bay lagoon. If you have chosen the Pelican Point, drive along the narrow stretch of sand that separates the bay from the Atlantic Ocean. Pass by a weathered shipwreck that tells the story of a lost fight against the sea, and catch sight of flamingos, pelicans, terns, and a colony of Cape Fur seals. Our return to Walvis Bay should be around 16h30.
