Pelican Point 4x4 Seal Safari
Explore the untouched beauty of Walvis Bay’s outer peninsula in a custom 4×4 safari to Pelican Point — home to thousands of Cape fur seals, graceful flamingos, and sweeping ocean views.
This coastal off-road experience is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, families, or anyone wanting a close-up look at Namibia’s marine life — no kayaking or boats required.
You’ll travel through pink salt lakes, bird-rich lagoons, and end at the dramatic point where the Namib meets the Atlantic.
No paddling, just pure exploring. Join us daily at 2 PM from the Walvis Bay Waterfront.
