Ride an ATV across endless gigantic dunes beside the sea! A fantastic day, great fun. There are other activities too, but I only did the half-day ATV riding. It was fantastic! Make sure you have big sunglasses or goggles. They provide a helmet. The other wonderful thing I saw here was the Cape Fur Seal colony at Cape Cross -- another amazing sight! Hundreds of thousands of fur seals lounging on the beach and swimming in the ocean.

This is one of the most remote place on earth. It's simply stunning.

Cape Cross Seal Colony was incredible, the scenery was coastal salt flats.

An awesome sight to see so many seals living in one area.

Fog and sand, desert lions and ship wrecks, whales and Cape fur seals. There is no place like the Skeleton Coast.

Great park where one can see beach creatures and also land animals. This huge expanse of territory has few visitors and is a great camping destination for the adventurous self-caterers.

A remote and special location.

I was fortunate to win this trip, my third visit to Namibia, in a wildlife photography competition. The Skeleton Coast is not easy to get to, and I was staying in one of the more remote camps near the border with Angola, but it is well worth the time spent in transit. The wildlife is not as abundant as some other safari locations but is nevertheless special, including crocodiles and Goliath herons on the Kunene river in a desert landscape that resembles something from another planet. Food, weather, and accommodation were all superb. It's an amazing location!

Remote Beauty

Once you enter the National Park, Skeleton Coast reveals a stunning beauty. You may not expect spectacular wildlife sights. We spotted only few animals – jackals, cormorants and a dead hyena. But if you stop and linger you experience the exceptional mixture of ocean, desert and history in form of shipwrecks and abandoned mining facilities. And in the northern part of the Park many plants like welwitchias colorize the desert dunes.

The beauty of the dunes and the Kunene River and the well adapted wildlife, as well as a superb camp at Serra Cafema
