DISCOVER WALVIS BAY
Airlink connects you to Walvis Bay with direct flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town
Nestled between sand dunes and the ocean, Walvis Bay, meaning "Whale Bay" in Afrikaans, is located just south of Swakopmund on the western coastline of Namibia. Walvis Bay is best known as the main port of Namibia and is a bustling harbour town that boasts spectacular scenery.
Walvis Bay is loved for its sizeable natural lagoon which is home to a variety of seabirds including flamingos, pelicans, as well as a number of migratory birds and Cape Fur Seals. The Walvis Bay lagoon is one of Southern Africa’s most important wetlands.
One of the top activities in the area is an excursion to the beautiful Sandwich Harbour, a freshwater lagoon surrounded by giant sand dunes and beautiful landscapes. Visitors can take part in several excursions in this serene haven.
For your return journey, fly back to Johannesburg or Cape Town with Airlink and travel beyond to other key leisure destinations.

The most secluded location on Namibia's Skeleton Coast is home to only one Lodge. This luxury lodge, housed in the old port authority building adjoining an 83-year-old lighthouse at Pelican Point, envelops you with comfort.

The lodge simply reflects the surrounding beauty.
