Skeleton Coast (4)

Despite the coast's isolation, it is home to a variety of animals and birds.

On the plains: jackal, oryx, springbok, brown hyena, and ostrich, all maraud.

In the several dry riverbeds: lion, giraffe, desert elephant, and black rhino roam in constant search of vegetation and the sparse spring fed waterhole.

The northern section of the park is part of the concession area, while the south is open to more traveler friendly activities.



Arrival: the best way to visit the Skeleton Coast is with your own vehicle.
It is possible to hire a driver or company to take you there, but it will be rather expensive.

You may consider hiring a vehicle for only a few days to see the place, and then return to public transport or hitchhiking.
