A leisurely breakfast at our hotel before heading off along the coastal road, the Skeleton Coast with the Atlantic on one side with gravel plains on the other - you'll get a good idea of how those shipwrecked along our shores felt - a barren inhospitable area. A short detour will take us to one of the largest cape fur seal colonies, nothing can quite prepare you for the smell of thousands of seals, the visit is well worth it though.
We turn inland making our way to the settlement of Uis, once a thriving tin mine there are a number of hardy souls that have kept this town going. Passing the Brandberg mountain we wend out way through Damaraland to arrive in the Twyfelfontein area.

On the way we'll stop in at a Himba Village before arriving at the Galton Gate, from here we game drive our way to our campsite. This vast area of western Etosha used to be restricted to visitors and was opened up in 2014. This terrain is rugged and hilly, quite different from the rest of the park.

By late afternoon, we arrive at our campsite.
