CAPE CROSS SEAL RESERVE
Sanctuary sheltering sea lions on the sand: visit of the colony with a powerful smell, due to the corpses of some animals.
This colony is the best known of the 16 fur seal colonies in Namibia. The sanctuary can accommodate up to 210,000 sea lions in November and December! The length of the visit will only depend on the weather and the tolerance of each one to the powerful smell of the colony whose corpses of some members litter the ground (sensitive souls abstain). However, observing the behaviour of the sea lions both on the sand and in the water will quickly make you forget this inconvenience. The site is also marked by the famous cross which gives it its name.

Absolument impressionnant. Merite le detour. La route pour s'y rendre est, d'une facon surprenante, en tres bon etat.

Mais il faut faire un saut à Cape Cross. Le nombre d'otarie dans cette colonie en fait un lieu extraordinaire.
Ces animaux sont très amusants et très accessibles. On a dû les enjamber pour rejoindre les passerelles de visite.
