Petrol in Swakopmund is the last expensive in Namibia. 9,75 per litre. I bought full tank. Destination: Tarra Bay on the Skeleton Coast. We were driving at the beginning on the salt road – they use salt to improve the surface of the roads here. Not bad – it is better then gravel.
We made a stopover on Cape Cross to see huge fur seals colony. Can you imagine 80000 fur seals in one place? What a experience! I saw them before in Antarctica but not such a mass in one place! It is worth 40 NAD entry fee…
Then we passed the gate of Skeleton Coast NP. They registered us. How is the road to Torra Bay? No problem for 4WD car! But we travel on a small 2WD!
The gravel was bad. From time to time we saw the Atlantic coast, but mostly the gray desert. The landscape changed when we turned inland at Torra Bay. We reached in half an hour the area of unspoiled bauty: Great Table Mountains. Red rocks like giant tables. Savanna with some animals was at the bottom of the mountains. We camped at the first available camp – they charge as usual 110 NAD per person and you have a power, water and shade at your site…
