Cape Cross protects one of the world's largest Cape fur seal colonies, viewed from boardwalks along Namibia's wild Skeleton Coast.

Cape Cross Seal Reserve protects one of the largest and most accessible Cape fur seal colonies on earth, where tens of thousands of seals congregate along the wild Skeleton Coast. The reserve also marks the historic site where Portuguese navigator Diogo Cão planted a stone cross in 1486, claiming the coast for the Portuguese crown. Visitors walk raised boardwalks just metres from the barking, sprawling colony, an unforgettable encounter with raw Atlantic wilderness.
