The Skeleton Coast Park is one of our planet's most inhospitable but hauntingly beautiful places; It is wild, desolate and uninhabitated, with everything from roaring sand dunes, windswept plains and towering canyons, to seal colonies and shipwrecks. In the past, access to the private northern region of the park has been restricted, but now fly in safaris are available to the Skeleton Coast Camp, located north of Möwe Bay.
Here one can enjoy game viewing and beach drives, explore shipwrecks, saltpans, canyons and the "clay castles". Throughout the park are pockets of wildlife such as springbok, oryx, ostrich, the rare desert-adapted elephant, brown hyaena, jackal and occasionally cheetah.
Even more fascinating are the many endemic plant, reptile and insect species, and multi-colored lichens that cover the large expanses of gravel plains. |
