"Back after 25 years" a Walvisbaai Travel Page by glennkasner

I was sent up here to join the salvage team refloating the container ship Umfolozi.
My past visits to this port were also marine related and i never looked at Walvis from a tourists point of view. What a pleasant surprise awaited me.
The hotel we have made our operations base, the Pelican Bay Hotel is a superb establishment, especially when one considers that it is a very small community.
Views from one's room are second to none as all rooms overlook Pelican Bay, a proclaimed RAMSAR site.
One can get up close and personal with dozens of species of birdlife - including Pelicans, Flamingos etc.
