egin your adventure with a check-in at the Walvis Bay Waterfront. Head to the Walvis Bay Lagoon, where flocks of flamingos and other water birds gather.

Wildlife sightings may include springbok, oryx, ostrich, black-backed jackal, gecko, brown hyena, golden mole, fog-basking beetles, and the famous “dancing” white lady spider. Bird enthusiasts will also love the diversity of waders around the lagoon and salt pans.

Midway through the tour, stop to enjoy snacks, homemade bakes, and sparkling wine, with unlimited bottled water, beer, and soft drinks available throughout.

One of the most unforgettable parts of this excursion is driving where the Namib sand dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean, a dramatic contrast of crashing waves and towering dunes.
