Namibia’s Skeleton Coast is one of our planet’s most beautiful places and is superbly complemented by Skeleton Coast Camp which plays host to one of its finest safaris. Over much of the past decade, access to this private area within the National Park has been restricted. However, in April 2000 this superb camp opened its doors to allow guests an exclusive safari experience for those who want to really get away!
Location:
Situated on the banks of the Khumib River within the private concession area of the Skeleton Coast Park.
Accommodation and facilities:
Skeleton Coast Camp is a six-roomed luxury tented camp built on an island in the dry Khumib riverbed. Each of the Meru style tents is large and roomy with en suite bathrooms featuring a shower, wash basin and toilet. There is a central lounge, bar and dining area offering spectacular views of the desert and an outside dining area under the shelter of a wonderful old gnarled Leadwood tree. For a peaceful moment the camp also has a well stocked library.
Activities:
Due to the vast size of the area, most activities are done in 4x4 vehicles that are closed to the elements. All vehicles have pop-top roofs and sliding windows to enjoy the fine weather. Other 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.
Special attractions:
A varied amount of excursions are a particular highlight of your stay here and 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 gemsbok, springbok, giraffe, ostrich, brown hyena, jackal and other smaller mammals.
