Flamingo Lagoon in Walvis Bay, Namibia, is a coastal wetland within the Ramsar-designated Walvis Bay wetlands. The lagoon's shallow, saline waters and adjacent salt pans create a unique ecosystem that supports large flocks of flamingos alongside a variety of other bird species, including cape teal and caspian tern. Seasonal fluctuations in rainfall and tidal influence from the Atlantic Ocean contribute to varying water levels and bird concentrations throughout the year.

Good aplec to visit. Very quiet and peaceful. Seeing pink flamingos was of the things I wanted to witness in Namibia 🇳🇦. They are very beautiful and attractive. They just enjoy being in the water 💧 doing their business. Tranquility at its best 👌. This place is very peaceful and yif you need some time off. Get there and relax your mind. It's a free beach area filled with a beautiful and cool breeze 😎. Very clean space and fresh 👌 air are real in the par of the world. It was surrounded by beautiful and big buildings all around.

came here a few times as we stayed in a little air bnb in Walvis. What’s nice is that this area of Walvis bay is a lot cleaner with plenty of nice houses and chilled people around mainly walking along the flamingo lagoon shore. There are lots of flamingos scattered all around which can be seen at all times. You just drive to the location, park your car anywhere by the lagoon and jump out and see the flamingo’s. There is no entrance fee or anything to pay and you can get here easily with a small car. There are lovely sunsets and good restaurants around like the anchor, the raft etc selling cheap beer and good seafood
