Hoanib Skeleton Coast

In a remote area of the Kaokoveld, with gravel-strewn plains and dry riverbeds that draw fascinating wildlife, lies Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp. Game drives explore this isolated area, moving along the riverbed’s narrow ribbon of vegetation, where a surprising wealth of desert-adapted animals can be found; in camp the research centre provides even more insights.

Wy we Love Hoanib Skeleton Coast

The dramatic Skeleton Coast, a 500 km long, desolate stretch of coastline in Namibia is somewhat forbidding – yet fascinating. Here, the Atlantic's unpredictable, cold Benguela current meets the warm desert air, creating a moody micro-climate and an evocative and unique atmosphere. An unforgettable day trip includes a drive along the Hoanib River’s gravel floodplain, taking in the area’s towering dunes and sporadic, surprisingly lush oases – where flamingos are seasonally seen – to the wild Skeleton Coast. Fly back to camp for a jaw-dropping aerial view of the dry Hoanib watercourse. Thrilling guided nature drives through the vast desert produce rare desert-adapted wildlife.

The camp comprises seven pale olive, luxury tents peaking like whitecaps on an ocean of sand. These well-insulated tented suites – with free-flow stretch canvas roofing, floating concrete foundations on stilts, en-suite facilities, and spacious private deck – offer a perfect escape from the excursions of the day. Gravel pathways link the tents to the convivial main area.

Highlights

At Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp eight pale olive, generously appointed, tented suites peak like whitecaps on an ocean of sand. Totally solar-powered, their open design and colour palette reflect the surrounding desert. A unique experience beckons for the intrepid traveller seeking chic luxury in a startlingly rugged and isolated, ancient landscape.
