What you'll do

On this remote and rugged coast, you'll find a battalion of Cape fur seals - one of the largest in the world! On a drive down Skeleton Coast, marvel at the sheer numbers (over 200 000) of seals barking and calling to one another. Shielded from the world by sea and sand (and a wall to make sure no one bothers them), the seals feast on fish brought in by the Benguela current. November marks the beginning of mating season and if you're in the vicinity by December, the rolling pups make for quite a sight! Orcas lurk beyond the surf and hyenas wait on the rocky outskirts at dusk and dawn, so you may witness a hunt.
