Cape Cross Seal Reserve Day Trip

Pickup will be at your accommodation in Swakopmund at the agreed time to begin our journey to the Cape Cross Seal Colony. We will have stops along the way to admire the Namibian scenery, including a stop at Henties Bay, in the Free Republic of Wlotzka’s Baken, a small holiday settlement.

Continuing to Cape Cross, named after the stone cross placed by explorer Diego Cao in 1486, we will enjoy a lunch featuring typical Namibian dishes such as fat cookies, etitis, chicken, and mopane worms.

After lunch, we will visit the Cape Cross Seal Reserve, home to over 200,000 seals. A wooden walkway allows close views of these animals. This reserve hosts one of the world's largest colonies of Cape fur seals where you can observe their behavior. If your trip is in November or December, you may see seal pups.

It's recommended to bring a scarf or shawl to cover your nose due to the strong smell. The tour concludes with a return to Swakopmund, dropping you back at your hotel around 5 pm.
