Cape Frio Seal Colony
Cape Frio
A cape in the northern Skeleton Coast where tens of thousands of Cape fur seals crowd the rocks. It can only be reached on a flying tour.
Cape Frio lies in the northern part of Skeleton Coast National Park and is one of southern Africa's major breeding grounds for Cape fur seals. Tens of thousands of seals crowd the rocks and beaches, while jackals and brown hyenas often forage nearby. The area also has shipwreck remains, including the Dunedin Star, which ran aground in 1942, and sand dunes that 'boom.' Self-driving is prohibited here. Access is only by flights from the Hoanib camp or Skeleton Coast flying expeditions, which are expensive and must be booked in advance. Coordinates are taken from Wikipedia.
