Skeleton Coast & Cape Cross, Namibia

About this experience

North of Swakopmund, the road along the Skeleton Coast passes fog-bound beaches, gravel plains and the rusting remains of shipwrecks. It is one of the world’s most atmospheric coastlines.

A stop at Cape Cross gives opportunities to see one of the region’s largest Cape fur seal colonies, where thousands of seals crowd the rocks.

Highlights

  • Shipwrecks and fog-bound beaches
  • Cape Cross seal colony
  • Stark, remote scenery
