Please note: Our review of this property has not yet been added. Watch this space. We're working on it.

As a tailor-made tour operator, we often have to get creative when designing your perfect itinerary.

For example, your travel consultant might add this property to your itinerary if:

Location is a significant factor
It offers a unique feature that will enhance your experience
This is a last-minute booking and room availability is limited
Cost is a factor and you'd rather splash out on another part of your trip
This is a newly opened or refurbished property that we have not inspected yet

When designing your custom itinerary we have much to consider not least of which is the value proposition of every product and service included in your quote. In all cases we strive to give you the best experience possible within your budget so please feel free to ask your travel consultant to share their reasons for including this property in your itinerary.

Crispy clean en suite rooms are equipped with air conditioning and heating units, satellite TV, wi-fi and a private balcony. The bar is open until 9pm and the buffet breakfast ticks all the wholesome and fruity boxes. Just around the corner and literally in the lagoon itself, the Raft is a great place for a lively sundowner and the Lyon des Sables is arguably one of the finest restaurants in the country.

While most people choose to stay at the more tourist-friendly town of Swakopmund about 40km up-coast, Walvis Bay lagoon is a destination in its own right. A RAMSAR wetlands site, the lagoon is rich in sea-life attracting great flocks of flamingoes, pelicans, plovers, terns, cormorants, and gulls or depending on who's dropping by mid- migration.

A marine cruise on Walvis Bay Lagoon is the aquatic version of a game drive safari with dolphins, seals, turtles, whales, mola-mola and all those birds on display. All this while sipping on a glass of bubbly and knocking back some home-grown oysters. Beats a day at the office wouldn't you say? And what better base than the Oyster Box Guesthouse on the edge of the lagoon?
