Seals at Walvis bay, Namibia

Situated on the Atlantic Coast in Namibia, Walvis Bay was founded in the 18th century as a sought after fishing town, due to its abundance of fish and whales. The desert surrounding Walvis Bay is the oldest in the world, and the waters here are known for their purity, so high quality fish and crustaceans are often in high demand. The area is also renowned for dolphins and seals, but perhaps the most famous feature of are the flamingos that flock to a huge lagoon, turning the horizon a stunning shade of pink.
