Cape Cross Lodge, Nambia


Cape Cross Lodge lies literally meters from the fertile Atlantic Ocean and presents a unique and serene stop for travellers along this vast untamed, seldom explored wilderness of the Skeleton Coast. More precisely the lodge is located alongside the biggest breeding Cape Fur Seal colony in the world, some 60km north of Henties Bay and 120km north of Swakopmund. The architecture is a curious mix of Cape Dutch and West Coast fishing village with the colossal windows affording endless vistas. Activities obviously centre on the presence of the seals, and visitors can self-drive or even walk to the colony.

Customer Review

Honeymoon to South Africa and Mauritius during September 2011

Mauritius Review

We didn't see much of Mauritius as we flopped on the beach when we arrived, however when driving through, noted the mountainous scenery which looked pretty. Very nice beach. Friendly atmosphere.
