Where does Cape Cross Seal Reserve fit in a Namibia trip?+
This seal-colony visit is a north-coast outing, separate from Walvis Bay’s lagoon. It can lengthen a Damaraland-to-Swakopmund transfer.
What should I arrange before visiting?+
Use the designated viewing area and confirm reserve entry hours. The animals are Cape fur seals; keep distance and do not block or approach them. [3]
