About this activity

Our journey begins at the Salt Pan Works, outside Swakopmund, exploring the breathtaking Flamingo Sanctuary. Here, you'll discover the fascinating process of salt production, the significance of guano harvesting, and the unique ecosystem that thrives in this environment.

Next, we visit Wlotzkasbaken, a historic German coastal settlement, rich in stories and traditions. We then marvel at the Musical Rocks, a rare natural wonder found only in Namibia.

We arrive at Cape Cross, home to one of the world’s largest Cape fur seal colonies. Witness thousands of seals in their natural habitat, visit the historic cross left by Portuguese explorers in 1486, and uncover fascinating tales from Namibia’s past.

We then stop in Henties Bay for a quick yet refreshing lunch before making our final visits to:

The haunting Zeila Shipwreck is a striking reminder of the treacherous waters of the Skeleton Coast.

The intriguing Doughnut Rock is a geological marvel shaped by time and the elements.
