Skeleton Coast
The Skeleton Coast shoreline is hauntingly beautiful, strewn with bleached whale-bones and rusted shipwrecks, the wildlife diversity is surprising.
WHY VISIT THE SKELETON COAST
The Northern stretch of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast is utterly remote, and largely untouched by modern man.
A few Himba tribes still call this area home.
The shoreline is hauntingly beautiful, strewn with bleached whale-bones and rusted shipwrecks.
The wildlife diversity in this harsh desert landscape is surprising with realistic chances for Black Rhino, Elephant, Angolan Giraffe, Oryx, Brown Hyaena, Black-backed Jackal, Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra, Chacma Baboon and Springbok.
It hosts the only other viable Lion population in Namibia outside of Etosha National Park.
Spend 3 nights flying from camp to camp with a wonderful family based operation of pilots who have an encyclopedic knowledge of the area, and are wonderful characters and outstanding guides. Accommodations on this flying safari are basic, but the experience is infinitely rich.
