Good scenery , a lot of tourists though which is a pity.
Thousands of Cape Fur seals, beautiful coastline and completely deserted

Truly unique destination that can only be considered, 'mars-like'
Our trip originated out of swakupmond with a brief visit to Walvis Bay to enjoy the dolphin and oyster cruise (highly recommend if you like oysters and champagne.) We climbed the dunes on foot which was shortly followed by a trip on ATVs. Both exciting in their own right as I've never experienced dunes of that size and that expansive.
We headed north from swakupmond to drive up the skeleton coast on our way to Etosha. We stopped by the Cape Cross seal colony, which was amazing. Definitely make this stop.
One note, this is definitely a trip where the site really is that there isn't much to see. It's so barren a landscape that you're amazed that people live near or around this area. You feel like you're on another planet. As such, make sure you have the right car and spare tires. Set the pressure in your tires correctly. Bring water and food as well; just in case.
Our whole trip was a self-drive and organized by a 3rd party agency.

Hard work - big miles and not much changes as you travel - but it's worth the effort. You feel remote. It's an imposing coastline.
