General:
Namibia's Skeleton Coast is one of our planet's most beautiful places and is now host to one of our finest safaris. Over much of the past decade, access to this private area within the National Park has been restricted.
However, in April 2000 we opened our 12-bedded, luxury tented camp and we can now offer superb 4 or 5 day fly-in safaris to this incredible area, with guaranteed departures every Wednesday and Saturday.
Close on 300,000 hectares (660,000 acres) of the National Park has been set aside as an exclusive safari experience for those who want to really get away! It is wild, desolate and uninhabited - and stunningly beautiful.


Tent details:
Tents are large luxury "Meru" style.
Tents have doors and wooden floors
En-suite bathrooms with shower, wash basin and toilet inside the tent. Guests are requested to keep water usage to a minimum.
Soaps, shampoos and insect repellents are supplied in each tent.
Each tent has a solar powered overhead fan

Services:
This safari is unlike any other of our safaris. The area is so vast and there is so much to see and experience that we abandon our traditional early morning and afternoon activities. We leave camp after breakfast and spend the full day exploring the park. A picnic lunch is enjoyed out in the wild and we return to base camp in the late afternoon. We travel in 4 x 4 Land Rovers and cover an extraordinary variety of terrains.

Activities include the following:
Full day nature drives with walks
Excursions to seal colony and natural springs
Coastal ecology
Visit to a working Himba village and tracking Desert Elephants
Visit to the clay castles/roaring dunes/lichen fields as well as other areas of amazing geographical diversity.
Location:
The camp is located on the Khumib River within the private concession area of the Skeleton Coast Park.
Rooms: Number of tents:

- 6 tents in total
This camp can accommodate 12 guests plus tour leader

The Benguela Current brings cool, plankton and fish~rich waters all the way from Antarctica and moderates the temperatures in the region. Mean temperatures year round vary from a high of 28° C (82°F) to a low of 10°C (50°F). Summers are incredibly mild, even though we are in the desert!
The cool ocean air meets the warm desert air and nearly every morning mists cover the coastline, bringing life~sustaining moisture to the desert's fauna and flora.
This is a safari that will rival anything in Africa for those who enjoy the excitement of wild and remote places.
