Skeleton Coast Camp

Skeleton Coast Camp is a six-roomed luxury tented camp in the heart of Skeleton Coast Park within the private concession area. It is built on an island in the dry Khumib riverbed, about 20km inland from the coastline. Each of the 6 tents is large, roomy and has a en-suite bathroom. We have a wonderful old gnarled Leadwood tree which offers shelter from the elements, and makes for a shady dining room for our outdoor meals.

Because of the uniqueness and vastness of this area, most activities are done in 4×4 vehicles that are closed to the elements. All vehicles have pop-top roofs and sliding windows to enjoy the fine weather. There is however plenty of opportunity to walk and stretch the legs too. Activities include either full-day nature drives or walks with a picnic lunch, returning to camp in the evening, or half-day nature drives or walks returning to camp for lunch and venturing out again in the afternoon.

Excursions may include visits to the clay castles of the Hoarusib River, Rocky Point, the roaring dunes, lichen fields, seal colonies, Himba villages, shipwreck sites and secret water seeps that attract wildlife like oryx, springbok, giraffe, ostrich, brown hyaena, jackal and other smaller mammals. Walking also plays a part in the activities; due to the pristine nature of this area many parts are accessible only on foot, as vehicle tracks can damage the environment. Many specially adapted species of plants like Lithops and Welwitschia can be visited in this way.

The terrain is rugged and harsh, hence this camp will be enjoyed by those who are looking for a true wilderness experience, in some of the most spectacular scenery in southern Africa.

Skeleton Coast Camp Game Viewing

Area mainly renowned for physical beauty and not for game viewing. The stark contrast between the harsh environment and the animals that inhabit it make this area spectacular. Possible wildlife one can see include: Oryx, Springbok, Giraffe, Ostrich, Cape Fur Seals, Brown Hyena, Jackals, Cape Fox, Bat Eared Fox, Honey Badger and Genet as well as Cheetah and Desert Elephant. Many fascinating desert species of plants. Bird watching also good with many of the Namibian endemic species occurring in the area.

ACTIVITIES
This safari is unlike any other of our safaris. The area is so vast and there is so much to see and experience that we abandon our traditional early morning and afternoon activities. We leave camp after breakfast and spend the full day exploring the park. A picnic lunch is enjoyed out in the wild and we return to base camp in the late afternoon. We travel in 4 x 4 Land Rovers and cover an extraordinary variety of terrains.

Activities include the following:
- Full day nature drives with walks
- Excursions to seal colony and natural springs
- Coastal ecology
- Visit to a working Himba village and tracking Desert Elephants
- Visit to the clay castles/roaring dunes/lichen fields as well as other areas of amazing geographical diversity.
