In 1482, Diogo Cao, the Portuguese mariner found refuge from the harsh Atlantic at Cape Cross. He placed a cross to mark his landing. Although the original cross no longer stands on the spot, travellers come to Cape Cross to see the replica cross that marks his landing, as well as the huge seal colony, and the wonders of the Namib Desert.

Today the site of his landing is a far more welcoming place. Cape Cross Lodge provides a high level of comfort and shelter from the harsh weather of the Skeleton Coast. From here, travellers can explore the same place visited by Diogo Cao, wonder at tens of thousands of rowdy seals and take a closer look at the Namib Atlantic coast, including a small lichen field.

And as the day comes to an end, travellers have the rare opportunity to enjoy the remarkable sunset over the Skeleton Coast.
