There is nothing on Earth like the Skeleton Coast. If you haven’t seen it for yourself, it is difficult to believe the abundance of vegetation and fauna that make up this incredibly diversified ecosystem. At first glance, the distinctive coastline might seem like a barren landscape composed of skeletons and sand; some have even compared it to what the “end of the Earth” might look like. As usual, however, you see more when you look closely.
The Skeleton Coast is a must-see location on any Namibian trip, and it’s not only the wildlife. We strongly suggest making the time to visit because the history, ambiance, and landscape are captivating.
There aren’t many lodges in this part of Namibia, but there aren’t many people either. There is very little chance of running into other people while in this area, which makes it the ideal location for a quiet and isolated journey. It is assured that your lodging will be luxury and offer breathtaking views. Every resort is situated in the most bizarre locations that will astonish you. Because of the terrain, some can only be reached by small aircraft, while the majority may be reached by 4×4. We’ve determined that if you’re visiting the Skeleton Coast, there are some luxury resorts that are well worth staying at;
Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp
Hoanib Skeleton Coast Camp, located in the northernmost corner of the private Palmwag concession, is as remote as it gets and can only be reached by light aircraft. With the amazing Skeleton Coast just a short flight away and the renowned desert-adapted elephants proliferating across the camp, Hoanib offers the best of both worlds, unlike many Namibian camps that force you to choose between beauty and wildlife viewing. A lovely camp in a lovely setting.
Serra Cafema
Serra Cafema is situated on the banks of the Magical Kunene River, which runs through the country’s extreme north. On the other side of the river is Angola. The position of the camp maximizes the usage of the nearby attractions, and the environment is breathtakingly gorgeous. We would even go so far as to claim that Serra Cafema is among the top camps in all of Africa, not just in Namibia, because of the breathtaking nature of the surrounding area.
Shipwreck Lodge
The Skeleton Coast in Namibia is unlike any other site in Africa, perhaps not the entire world. The unique and amazing Shipwreck Lodge is one of the best places to base yourself in the seclusion of the sandy Namibian Skeleton Coast. Despite this incredibly harsh climate, the area’s unique ecosystem and the wildlife that may be found there are quite remarkable. The entire environment of the place adds to the uniqueness of the expeditions, not just the wildlife.
