Wilderness Hoanib Skeleton Coast
Desert-adapted wildlife in the remote Kaokoveld
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.

Design & Atmosphere
The unforgiving Skeleton Coast, with its shipwreck remains and noisy colonies of Cape fur seals, is accessible by either a fascinating drive or a flight, depending on the weather. Eight large en-suite tents (including one family tent) and the main area and pool look out over a wide, rugged valley that slopes down to the almost-always dry Hoanib River.
