The Cape Cross Seal Sanctuary, located on Namibia's southern Atlantic coast, is said to be the only seal beach in the world.
The reserve area of about 60 square kilometers, the annual gathering of 80,000 to 100,000 seals, the breeding season can reach more than two hundred thousand, or even more, every year attracts a large number of visitors from all over the world to watch the seal scenery, is the main tourist resort in Namibia.
The number and density of seals in the Cape Cross Seal Sanctuary rank first in the world.
In the choppy sea, seals with agile and beautiful posture, constantly swimming, hunting, from time to time with a small pointed face with a beard to look around, a group of black group after group, the scene is spectacular.
But when they climbed to the land among the rocks on the beach, they immediately became very clumsy and lay lazily in the sun.This is the home of seals, the kingdom of seals, and this spectacular spectacle can only be seen on this small beach in Namibia.
The Point Cross Seal Sanctuary has so many seals because it sits at the confluence of the Benguela Current and the warm Angra Current, making the Marine environment ideal for plankton to thrive.
A large amount of plankton provides rich food for fish, so it attracts a large number of fish to come to prey, and provides good development conditions for a large number of seals to gather.
Established on August 1, 1979, the Namib Noklufo National Park encompasses the Namib Desert and Noklufo Mountains, with a total area of approximately 49,768 square kilometers, making it the largest wildlife reserve in Africa and the fourth largest in the world. The main attraction in the park is the famous Sosuvelai Sand Dunes, one of the most popular tourist attractions in Namibia.
In the extremely dry natural conditions of the Namib Norklufo National Park, a miraculous variety of creatures live here, including snakes, geckos, rare insects, coyotes, Cape gemsbok and jackals. At the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, the air is wetter, and the average rainfall in the region is 106 mm per year, mainly between February and April.
Sosuvelai Dune is a "Star Dune", this billowing apricot sand dune is the highest sand dune in the world at 300 meters, visitors here have the opportunity to try sand skiing, horseback riding adventure or hot air balloon ride.
For photographers, the dunes are stunning, especially at dawn and dusk, where the contrast of light and shadow makes the desert look like a raging sea stretching forever.
The Namib Desert is a desert in western Namibia, located within Africa's largest national park, Namib-Nokluf National Park.
The desert covers an area of 50,000 square kilometers and is located on Namibia's 1,600km long Atlantic coastline, ranging in width from 50 to 160 kilometers from east to west, and southwestern Angola is also part of the Namib Desert.
Considered to be the oldest desert in the world, the arid and semi-arid climate has persisted for at least 80 million years, with air blowing into the region from the Atlantic Ocean drying out and cooling down through the cold Benjira Current, creating an arid climate.
Some unusual plant and animal species are found only in this desert, including a plant called the centenarian leaf, which resembles a shrub but grows only two long strips of leaves in its lifetime, which can be several meters long.
Although most of the desert is uninhabited and inaccessible, Sesriem is still inhabited, close to the famous Sosuvelai and a string of sand dunes, some of which are over 300 metres high and some of which are the tallest in the world.
Its dunes are complex and regular, and have become the object of study for geologists.
The Namib Desert can be reached by small plane from Windhoek, Swakopmund or the Bay of Whales, or by gravel roads.
