North along the Skeleton Coast to the Cape Cross seal colony, past the Zeila shipwreck, with a light lunch.
- Skeleton Coast drive
- Cape fur seal colony
- Zeila shipwreck
- Light lunch
The road north from Swakopmund follows the Skeleton Coast, named for the shipwrecks and whale bones that once lined it. We stop at the wreck of the Zeila, a fishing trawler stranded on the beach in 2008.
At Cape Cross you'll see one of the largest Cape fur seal colonies in the world. Black-backed jackals often patrol the edges. A light lunch and drinks are included.
