See the cape cross seals of Skeleton Coast National Park
Skeleton Coast National Park is one of Namibia's most unique and remote wilderness areas. Stretching over 500 km along the Atlantic Ocean, the park is known for its rugged coastline, shifting sand dunes, and eerie shipwrecks.
Cape Cross Seal Reserve, located inside the park, is known for being one of the largest colonies of cape fur seals in the world. This is one of the most famous landmarks and one of the best things to do in Namibia.
Explore the beautiful Epupa Falls
Epupa Falls, which means "falling water" in Otjiherero, is formed by the Kunene River as it cascades over a series of cataracts before plunging into a chasm. The falls are surrounded by lush vegetation and are home to a variety of wildlife, including crocodiles and hippos. Visitors can take a guided hike to the falls or take a boat tour to explore the surrounding area.

Namib desert — one of the best things to do in Namibia
The Namib Desert, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is arguably the most well-known geographical feature of Namibia. It is known as the world's oldest desert, and one of the driest places on the planet.
Much of the moisture for plant and animal life is gained from fog, making the Namib Desert home to a variety of unique flora and fauna (including the Namib desert elephants). Taking a guided desert safari to see the desert's wildlife up close is one of the best things to do in Namibia.
