Skeleton Coast – Namibia
(Image copyrighted to Jennifer Davenport. All rights reserved.)
If our guess is correct, these 2 movies shot at this location should be the first Indian movies to have been filmed in Namibia. In their efforts to stand out from the increasingly maddening crowd of directors going abroad for their filming needs, directors are resorting to locations like these. But for movie goers like us, this is a bonus as we get to see visually stunning places from around the world and who knows plan to visit these places sometime in our life times.
About the location (from Wiki):
The Skeleton Coast is the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean coast of Namibia and south of Angola from the Kunene River south to the Swakop River, although the name is sometimes used to describe the entire Namib Desert coast. The Bushmen of the Namibian interior called the region “The Land God Made in Anger”, while Portuguese sailors once referred to it as “The Gates of the bad place”.
Namibia has declared the 16,000 km² (6,200 mi²) Skeleton Coast National Park over much of the area, from the Ugab River to the Kunene. The northern half of the park is a designated wilderness area. Notable features here are the clay castles of the Hoarisib, the Agate Mountain salt pans and the large seal colony at Cape Fria. The remainder of the coast is the National West Coast Recreation Area.
