Stretching from the Kunene River to the Ugab River in the south, the Skeleton Coast National Park is best known for its shipwrecks. A ghostly atmosphere fills the foggy shoreline, where dried-out bones of whales and seals, left over from the whaling industry, line the sands. The crashing waves are so powerful, it's almost impossible for ships to launch off this coast into the Atlantic Ocean, but in the past vessels had been marooned here by the offshore rocks hidden by the treacherous seas. Just a handful of permanent and temporary camps and lodges are found in this vast wilderness and as such, visitors who venture here are amongst the privileged few who get to explore what is surely one of the most dramatic stretches of land anywhere in Africa.
