Skeleton Coast Camp

(Skeleton Coast - Namibia)

General Description
Skeleton Coast Camp is a six-roomed luxury tented camp situated in the heart of Skeleton Coast Park. It is built on an island in the dry Khumib riverbed, about 20km inland from the coastline.

Because of the uniqueness and vastness of this 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.

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.

Accommodation
Each of the 6 tents is large, roomy, and has an en-suite bathroom with flush toilet, shower and hot and cold running water. All the tents are raised on wooden decks and are attractively furnished using local natural materials. Each tent is also equipped with an overhead fan.

Dining
A wonderful old gnarled Leadwood tree offers shelter from the elements, and makes for a shady dining room for outdoor meals. Indoor dining is also possible. Lunches are prepared for trips out.
