Today’s journey takes you north along the striking Atlantic coastline, offering a full day of travel enriched with fascinating stops and natural wonders. Though it is a long drive, the changing landscapes and unique sights make for a rewarding experience.

Your first stop is just beyond Henties Bay, where you'll explore the lichen fields, an extraordinary display of life in one of the harshest environments on earth. These slow-growing organisms, sensitive and resilient, are a quiet reminder of nature’s remarkable adaptability.

Continuing along the rugged Skeleton Coast, you’ll visit the Cape Cross Seal Colony, where thousands of Cape fur seals gather along the shoreline. Sustained by the cold, nutrient-rich Benguela Current, this vibrant colony is a remarkable sight, both lively and unforgettable.

As you journey onward, you’ll pass the haunting remains of the Benguela Eagle shipwreck, a stark reminder of the many vessels lost to the unforgiving waters of this coastline. Nearby, an abandoned oil rig rises from the desert—an industrial relic that adds to the surreal beauty of the region.

Turning inland, you’ll make a stop to see the Welwitschia mirabilis, one of the world’s oldest and most unusual plants. Endemic to Namibia and Angola, these ancient desert survivors can live for over a thousand years and are a true botanical treasure.
