Situated near the end of a long peninsula stretching into the Atlantic Ocean that protects the Namibian port of Walvis (Whale) Bay, the stunningly remote Pelican Point Lodge offers luxurious accommodation amid gorgeous scenery and intriguing marine life.

The 4-storey lodge, complete with a lighthouse, is an idyllic base from which to experience this dynamic desert country’s under-rated coastal areas where kayaking with Cape fur seals, dolphin cruises and whale watching can all be part of your day’s line-up. Bird watching here is excellent too with impressive flocks of damara terns, cormorants, flamingos, and pelicans all to be spotted from the outside lounging areas of the lodge.

From your sea-facing suite’s private deck observe the antics of seals surfing the waves or enjoying a lazy bask in the afternoon sun. From the big, blue skies above, birds scan the tranquil lagoon waters for their lunch while behind the breakers the fishing vessels and passenger ships that dot the horizon present photo-perfect opportunities on misty and sunny days. Also, keep your eyes peeled for the enormous mola-mola fish that weigh up to a ton and, while tucked up in bed at night, listen for the distinct call of a lone jackal making his nocturnal rounds...
