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

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.

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!

Strange and remote area, truly wild. Not much to see however unless you fly into the expensive wilderness camp.

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.

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

In my opinion, this park isn't very pretty but worth a visit

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