Excursion Birding at walvis bay lagoon tour at Walvis Bay

Explore the lagoon of Walvis Bay and the beautiful wildlife found therein. Walvis Bay and the offshore islands were incorporated into the Republic of Namibia on March 1, 1994 after being governed by South Africa for a number of years. The Walvis Bay Lagoon takes pride of place for its scenic attractions in the area, where thousands of different species gather at these rich feeding grounds.

This tour takes you around the lagoon where you may get a chance to spot a vast variety of shore birds and waders including sandpipers, plovers, pelicans and herons. Enter the sedimentation pans of the Walvis Bay Salt mine and get extremely close to the birds with a strong chance to spot Phalaropes, Grebes and terns which include the rare Damara Tern.
