Start at Walvis Bay Lagoon, where you might see flamingos wading through the shallows. Pause at the waterfront to watch them feed and take photos while your guide shares what makes the lagoon such a draw for coastal birds.

Continue to the salt pans known as the Pink Lake. Look for bands of pink across the shallow water, framed by pale salt and open sky. The colour varies with the light and conditions, so take a moment to see how it changes as you look across the pans.

Then trade the waterfront for the sand at Dune 7. If you feel like climbing, follow the ridge at your own pace and pause to watch the view open up over the surrounding dunes. You can also stay at the foot of the dune for photos and take in its scale from below. Dune 7 entry is included.

Follow the Atlantic coastal road to Swakopmund. Stroll along the jetty, listen to the waves below and browse for locally made crafts. Round off the experience with a taste of kapana, Namibia’s street-food favourite of freshly grilled beef.

The guided tour lasts approximately 4 hours and includes Dune 7 entry, a kapana tasting, snacks and soft drinks.
