Travel better in Walvis Bay with the right person

Go deeper

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Do not disturb the flamingos
The flamingos are wild birds feeding in a critical wetland habitat. Keep a respectful distance (the boardwalk provides this naturally), never chase or flush the birds, and keep noise levels low. Disturbed flamingos may abandon feeding grounds, threatening the entire flock.
Seal colony etiquette
At Pelican Point and on kayaking excursions, maintain distance from seals. Never touch seal pups, as mothers may abandon them. Bull seals are aggressive and faster than you expect. Enjoy from a respectful distance and let the seals approach on their terms.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Walvis Bay travel guide.
