The Skeleton Coast is unlike anything else you have seen. It is hard to comprehend the number of plants and animals that cover this highly diverse environment if you haven’t witnessed it for yourself. Some have even likened the unique coastline to the “end of the Earth” because it initially appears to be a dry area made up of sand and skeletons. But as usual, if you look closely, you can see more.
Any journey to Namibia must include a visit to the Skeleton Coast, and it’s not only for the wildlife. Because of the fascinating history, atmosphere, and scenery, we highly recommend scheduling a visit.
In Namibia, there aren’t many lodges, but there aren’t many people either. This place is perfect for a peaceful and solitary travel because there is virtually little likelihood of encountering other people. You may be confident that your accommodations will be excellent and have stunning views. Each resort is located in the most surreal places you will ever see. Most can be accessible by 4×4 due to the terrain, but some can only be reached by tiny aircraft. We have identified a few mid-range resorts that are well worth staying at if you’re traveling to the Skeleton Coast:
Cape Cross Lodge
It’s roughly an hour and a half’s drive north of Swakopmund and is modern and comfortable. Cape Cross Lodge’s location between Swakopmund and Damaraland makes it a nice and somewhat efficient place to rest, although many visitors would rather stay in Swakopmund because it’s only an hour and a half’s drive south. Although it’s more of a hotel than a place to stay, its location on the Skeleton Coast, close proximity to the seal reserve, and ease of access make it a practical choice for a northern Namibia itinerary.
