Kayak Trip to Pelican Point

 

An excellent way to spend a morning is on a gentle kayaking trip to Pelican Point.  These trips start at 07:45 from Mola Mola Safaris in Walvis Bay. You will be met here to jump aboard a landrover and set off for Pelican Point, a sand bar near Walvis Bay. 
 
A number of sturdy sea kayaks await and you will be guided to three colonies of up to around 6,000 cape fur seals. The seals love to play around the kayaks, jump and occasionally even land on one if they misjudge the distance! 
 
It's possible to see dolphins and flocks of gulls and cormorants are often overhead. There is a stop on a beach for warm brotchens (rolls) and coffee for elevenses. 

No previous experience in kayaks is needed as it's a very gentle trip.

Namibia a Campers Paradise

There are a medley of sights, smells, tastes and sounds to be experienced and enjoyed through camping in Namibia – from the harsh, barren, stony plains around the Fish River Canyon, past the vast red dunes of Sossusvlei, along the wind-swept shores of the cold Atlantic Ocean to the seemingly endless plains and rocky mountains of Damaraland and the humid forests on the banks of the Zambezi River in Caprivi. Each corner holds a secret treasure of its own. There is a wide choice of sites all over Namibia for seasoned campers or nervous novices on their first camping holiday, from luxury campsites under shady trees and grassy lawns, to wild places under a camel-thorn tree in a sandy riverbed.

Ababis Guestfarm


Ababis guest farm is situated about 250km southwest of the capital Windhoek on the northern outskirts of the Naukluft massif.

Acacia Rest Camp
 
Acacia Park Restcamp is situated in Otjiwarongo. The restcamp offers a variation of different self-catering accommodation facilities including chalets, rooms, permanent caravans and a campsite and caravanpark.
 
Betesda Lodge & Camping


Betesda Lodge is situated on beautiful farmland near Sossusvlei and is located 38kms from the gate at Sesriem.
 


Brandberg Rest Camp is located in Uis, a once booming little mining town in the heart of Damaraland, an unspoilt rural area in Namibia. Uis lies on the way between Swakopmund and the Etosha Game Reserve.
 
Camp Kwando


Kwando Camp is just outside the famous Mudumu National Park in the Zambezi Region (previously called the Caprivi Strip). This luxury camp offers spectacular views over the Kwando River.
 



Literally metres from the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Cross Lodge presents a unique and serene stop for travellers along this vast untamed and seldom explored wilderness on the Skeleton Coast. The Lodge is situated 60km north of Henties Bay and 120km north of Swakopmund.
