Flamingo Island - nr Luderitz, Namibia

Flamingo Island is a small island located near Lüderitz, a coastal town in southern Namibia. Despite its name, it is not a traditional tourist island but rather a shallow sandbank and a critical breeding site for flamingos and other bird species. The island is part of the coastal and marine conservation areas around Lüderitz, which are known for their rich biodiversity, particularly birdlife. The best way to view Flamingo Island is by taking a boat tour, which also provides an opportunity to see Lüderitz’s stunning landscapes, penguins, seals, and sometimes dolphins.

The island is within Sperrgebiet National Park, a restricted area due to its history as a diamond mining zone, and access to certain areas requires permission.
