What makes this tour unique At Sandwich Harbour, the dunes kiss the ocean in one of the world’s most breathtaking natural encounters. Our tour takes you where few have gone — along shifting sands, hidden lagoons, salt pans, and towering dunes that seem to melt into the Atlantic. Every moment is guided by passion, storytelling, and discovery — from spotting jackals on the shoreline to photographing flamingos and seals in their natural habitat. It’s not just a drive; it’s a journey between sand and sea, where silence speaks and beauty knows no end.

Jutting out from the Skeleton Coast in western Namibia, on the banks of the White Lady Salt Pan. Visit this unique location to discover the Cape Cross Seal Reserve, a protected area of important habitat inhabited by a colony of Cape Fur Seals. Learn about this huge colony of protected animals, and hear about their lives in the wild Atlantic ocean.

Our clients get to see some 80,000 to 100,000 Cape Fur Seals at close quarters. This is an experience of a lifetime. During October, large adult males haul out to establish breeding territories, and those that do, stay for six weeks or more. The bulls expend considerable energy reserves and lose weight establishing and maintaining territories, herding females and fighting other males. A single pup is born in late November or early December and during a 34 - day period, 90% of the pups are born. The black pups suckle soon after birth and the females remain with it for the first week. This close association establishes a strong maternal bond between the pup and its mother. The initial bonding period is very important as it enables her and the pup to identify one another amongst the thousands of other seals. Without milk from the females, the pup's chances of survival are virtually nil. When they are separated the mother bellows for her pup and miraculously they find one another.

Observe the Cape fur seal in its natural habitat on this half-day tour from Swakopmund to Cape Cross. Join a small group and drive along the coastal road to reach the seal colony where you can see the animals in action. You also make a stop at the Free Republic of Wlotzka’s Baken, a self-sustaining settlement, to explore the beach haven.

Viewing and climbing Namibia's own Matterhorn. Namibia has wide open spaces, clear skies, beautiful Rock formation, age old Bushman paintings and unique desert Plants. A must see in Namibia! We see the shipwreck Zeila and Henties Bay.
