Walvis Bay, a coastal gem on Namibia’s western coast, is home to striking natural beauty. Its saltwater lagoon hosts one of Africa’s largest concentrations of flamingos. The Namib Desert, the world’s oldest, surrounds the city with stunning red sand dunes reaching to the coast. Dune 7 is the region’s tallest and most spectacular, its peak measured at more than 1,256 feet tall. Adventure seekers can sandboard, kitesurf and explore the desert’s wildlife before partaking in Walvis Bay’s vibrant culture and cuisine, highlighted by fresh seafood, including sought-after oysters.
