Skeleton Coast National Park
Encompassing the northern part of the Namibian coastline and
extending a bit into southern Angola, Skeleton Coast National Park
is known for its inaccessible shores and rough waters. The park was
named for the hulls of wrecked ships found washed up along the
shore, as well as the bleached whale and seal bones found there
during the years the whaling industry was active there.
Skeleton Coast National Park has some interesting attractions,
including the Agate Mountain salt pans, the clay castles of the
Hoarasib, and the large Cape Fur Seal colony at Cape Fria. The
inland riverbeds are home to a variety of wildlife, including
giraffes, lions, baboons, rhinoceros, springbok and elephants.
Information & Facts
Language
English is the official language, but many people also
speak Afrikaans and German. There are also several indigenous
languages spoken, mainly in the rural areas.
Money
The official currency is the Namibian Dollar (NAD) divided into
100 cents. Its value is equal to the South African Rand, which is
also accepted as legal currency in Namibia. Major credit cards are
accepted. Travellers cheques and foreign currency can be exchanged
at any bank or bureau de change, though cash is more expensive to
exchange than travellers cheques. ATMs are available in larger
towns only.
