Flamingo lagoonFlamingos – Walvis Bay Lagoon The Walvis Bay Lagoon is a Ramsar-protected wetland and one of southern Africa’s most important birding sites. It’s home to thousands of Greater and Lesser Flamingos, as well as pelicans, avocets, and other migratory birds. The striking contrast of pink birds against the calm blue lagoon makes for breathtaking photo opportunities. Pink Lake – Salt Works, Walvis Bay Just outside Walvis Bay, the Pink Lake is a surreal sight created by natural salt pans and algae (Dunaliella salina) that thrive in high salinity. These algae give the water a vibrant pink hue, especially during hot, sunny days. The area is part of Namibia’s salt production industry and provides a unique contrast of industry and natural beauty.
