Massima attenzione alle nostre esigenze; bevande sempre disponibili e biscotti, spuntino e pranzo allestiti sulla sabbia. Abbiamo visto sciacalli, struzzi, springbok. Armand, davvero gentile, ci ha fatto foto splendide e raccontato molte cose interessanti sulla formazione della soiaggia e dei suoi abitanti. Lo consiglio vivamente, giornata intensa e ricca di emozioni trascorsa immersi nella natura.”

Kayak with Cape Fur Seals at Pelican Point, then enjoy Namibian oysters, sparkling wine, and beach time near Walvis Bay.

“Zeer toeristisch. Veel mensen met veel verschillende touroperators op dezelfde plek. Catamaran, speedboten, kajaks door elkaar.
