Explore Walvisbay: Ultimate Birding day tour｜Namibia

Embark on a bird-watching tour in and around Walvis Bay, Namibia. Visit places like Pelican Point, Sandwich Harbour, and Moon Valley. See the lagoon, salt pans, and the bird sanctuary which form the Walvis Bay Wetlands, one of five RAMSAR sites in Namibia.

Over 150,000 migrant birds spend the summer months in Walvis Bay and non-breeding palearctic, and intra-African species dominate. Possible sightings include over 150 species of bird that have been recorded in this region.

Intra-African migrants make up the majority of these birds, namely the two flamingo species, Chestnut-banded Plovers, Pied Avocets, Cape Teals, and Black-necked Grebes. European and northern Siberian migrants travel between 10,000 and 14,000 kilometers to reach Walvis Bay each year.

These long-distance travelers consist of Curlew Sandpipers, Sanderlings, Grey Plovers, Ruddy Turnstones, Little Stints, and Knots. Other shore birds that visit Walvis Bay are Palaearctic terns, consisting of Common, Sandwich, Arctic, and Black Terns.
