Be prepared for possible entrance fees at the park gate, which can vary depending on the type of vehicle and number of passengers.
Public Transportation
Take a local bus from Oshana to Swakopmund. The journey will take several hours, so plan accordingly. Once you arrive in Swakopmund, you will need to arrange for a shuttle or taxi to take you to the Skeleton Coast National Park entrance, which is about 50 kilometers from Swakopmund. It’s advisable to negotiate a fare in advance for the shuttle or taxi service.
