Today our adventure takes us to the Atlantic Ocean and our final destination at Cape Cross. We travel westwards where we enter the Skeleton Coast. The coastline itself is a very hostile but fascinating area known for its numerous shipwrecks over the years, all victims of the thick fog, unpredictable currents, and rough seas.

The next day, enjoy a delicious cooked breakfast, and then a short walk to the Cape Cross Seal Reserve. The reserve is home to one of the world’s largest breeding colonies of Cape fur seals and during the breeding season, up to 200 000+ seals can be spotted basking on the beach, certainly a sight and smell to behold.

Wake up early and continue traveling south toward Etosha National Park, making some short stops for supplies and fuel. The Etosha National Park is home to over 100 mammal species, 340 bird species, and 110 reptile species. Animals, particularly during the dry season, are dependent on the many waterholes found in the park, and these serve as great places for game viewing. Vegetation in the park is varied but consists mostly of mopane woodland and grassy plains. Arrive at the lodge for dinner.

Today we will spend most of the day searching for animals. We will visit some waterholes and stop to view the Etosha Pan, also known as the “place of dry water”. This extensive, flat depression is about 5,000 km2 and a place of shimmering mirages. Seeing large herds of game in this setting is a unique experience. We may stop at Halali to have lunch, before returning to our lodge. We may also see elephants and lions. In the evening we can enjoy a glass of wine and experience a fabulous dinner at our lodge. During this 3 days you will explore all corners of etosha national park.
