Skeleton Coast
Namibia
Skeleton Coast
The Skeleton Coast is a stretch of coast in northern Namibia, famous for the numerous skeletal shipwrecks embedded in the shores and the almost inhospitable, yet incredibly beautiful, desert that surrounds them. We organise fly-in safaris to the Skeleton Coast - using light aircraft to hop around you will spend each night in a different area at small permanent camps.
Namibia Safari with Self Drive
We do not have enough superlatives that we can use to express how wonderful the last three weeks have been.
Featured itineraries
Safaris, Skeletons & Shipwrecks
Starting in Windhoek, you’ll journey north-west through the wild, semi-desert terrain of Damaraland and Kaokoland to reach the remote Hoanib Valley. Here you’ll spend three days at the fabulous Hoanib Valley Camp, looking for the rare desert-adapted elephant amid towering mountains, vast dunes and huge expanses of desert. From Hoanib Valley, you continue west to the starkly beautiful Skeleton Coast, before returning to Windhoek via Okonjima.
