Walvis Bay is the principal port of Namibia and is situated on the west coast of southern Africa - a quirky town focused around the busy harbour with many townspeople employed in the huge fishing and shipping industry that operates out of it.

One of the most unique and interesting aspects of Walvis Bay is it's huge natural lagoon. This always has numerous seabirds on and around it. Over 100,000 birds were counted on the lagoon, the most noticeable being flamingos and pelicans. These are joined annually by another 200,000 migratory birds, making this an excellent place for keen birdwatchers.

Lüderitz, nestled between the arid Namib Desert and the rugged Atlantic coast, offers a striking contrast with its German colonial architecture set against stark natural beauty. The town's colorful buildings and the iconic Felsenkirche, perched on a hill, provide a captivating backdrop. Nearby, the ghost town of Kolmanskop tells the eerie tale of a diamond rush long faded.

A much more haunting location, with an incredibly dark past, is Shark Island - which witnessed the deaths of between 1,000 and 3,000 people when it was the location of a German concentration camp, between 1905 and 1907. Inland from Luderitz is Kolmanskop, the site of a famous diamond mine and ghost town.
