| Boat Angling |
| |
A wide variety of fish can be caught from boats in the
vicinity of Flamingo Lodge. Trolling behind
the backline provides great action for those
interested in catching the inshore gamefish
species such as Garric(Leervis) and Chad(Elf),
while further offshore one can expect to
catch tuna or many types of reef fish.
Bottom fishing results in excellent catches
of a wide variety of species including trophy-sized
Rock-Cods, Sea-Breams (Pargos) and Kob.

event in the winter and anyone wanting to
get closer is likely to be well-rewarded

of the rugged and diverse coastline are
also well worth experiencing.

| Desert Tours |
| |
Day, or longer tours which involve camping out, are recommended to those who would like to experience the beautiful landscapes that the area offers. Visits to the hot water springs at Pediva and the Arco on the shores of a huge natural freshwater lake are highlights of a drive through a geologically and ecologically highly diverse area.

Flamingo Lodge has 6 quad-bikes that can be hired either for use
in the vicinity of the camp, or on overnight
or more extended tours into the dune desert
as far as the Cunene River mouth. These
trips can be tailored according to group
preferences and usually involve the use
of an accompanying vehicle to carry fuel,
camping equipment etc., and may include
staying at our Foz do Cunene accommodation.

| Baia dos Tigers & Foz do Cunene |
| |
These excursions are usually chosen by fishermen wanting to pit their strength against the large sharks and rays that abound in the Tigres lagoons, or those wanting to experience the unequalled catch rates of large kob that occur in the area of the Cunene River mouth.
For fishermen and non-fishermen alike the drive to these areas is breathtaking. The route taken is between high dunes and the sea, and is only passable at spring tides. The huge lagoons are populated with an abundance of bird life, Dolphins, turtles and jackals are common, and gemsbok and brown hyenas are frequently seen.
These excursions involve spending at least
one night away from Flamingo Lodge –
either camping near the lagoons or at the
Foz du Cunene accommodation.
