Day 4

Skeleton Coast

Skeleton Coast

After a hearty breakfast, you’ll have a 4x4 trip to the Hoanib River Delta. Here, there are dozens of "clay castles'", which are tens of thousands of years old. Stop at the seal colony en route to or from Mowe Bay. A German ship, The Mowe, made the first official sightings of cape fur seals in 1884. A drive along the Hoarusib River will give you the chance to track the desert-adapted elephants.

We also recommend trying out the sandboarding and the quad biking - both are wonderful experiences.

Activities: Game drives in the Skeleton Coast National Park, sundowners and walks on the beach, fishing at the coastline (equipment provided), 4×4 excursions to the Clay Castles, the Hoanib River Delta, and the Mowe Bay seal colony, visits to the Suiderkus and Karimona shipwrecks, and drives along the Hoarusib River to track desert-adapted wildlife.
