SKELETON COAST PARK:

Skeleton Coast Park
The Skeleton Coast Park was proclaimed a National Park in 1973 and extends northwards from the Ugab River to the Kunene River, covering an area of 16400 km². The attraction of this remote area is brought about by the untouched landscapes of windswept dunes, rugged canyon walls and extensive mountain ranges. Animals do occur on the plains, ranging from springbok, ostrich and brown hyena whilst giraffe, lion, black rhino and desert - adapted elephant roam the dry river courses.
Accommodation is provided at Terrace Bay, previously a diamond mining settlement. The Northern section of the Park is a tourism concession and restricted to one fly-in safari only. back to Namibian National Parks
